The Pak 40 kit from Das Werk I finished last year had a lot of good points but it had a LOT of omitted parts, and the shield had a couple of BIG issues that I was able to tackle, modify, and correct. Those issues will also be on the SdKfz 251/22 which has the Pak 40 mounted on it and while the...

Well Andy popped up with a bunch of 1/16th figures. Some in the $20 range, a couple of others much more, but will be perfect additions to stuff I have in stash or are currently building. @Tim A. If you are interested in figures for your Tiger or tank builds, the two Classy Hobby figures would...

Looks like the kit is only a basic starting point for a build if you are one for detailing. (after looking at the review)

I am waiting on the new 1/32 Hybrid kits that Eduard are coming out with.

@Sharkmouth I can hear the groan and "Oh HELL NO!" from Bob now. Saúl those photos are really tempting me to try a Rosie build, but not now, and not for a LONG while. Even the imposter's photos give some really good info and weathering examples so keep them coming.

Looks really good Chris!

NOT another bloody car, but ANOTHER INTERESTING BUILD!!!! I will be looking forward to this one Paddy. There is nothing wrong with having a special kit and not building it yet as you don't feel ready yet. I have a number of those type kits. Every new build I do seems to challenge my skills...

I just cleaned up my hobby room and really need to spend a bunch of time working on my whole house, then the garage, attic, yard. Yeah. I start my radiation treatments Monday the 4th, first of 33 which will be 5 a week till done. Going to suck before it is all done I am sure.

Had a nice chat with Bob and James. James had a couple of nice new kits that he showed us the link to the company about a week ago. Bob was building on his Bazooka Piper. I built on my sFH18 artillery piece and made some decent progress on a correction to the kit.

Yeah, I have had to do a couple of repairs on mine over the years. The first repair they put a carbon steel ball bearing in the check valve from the compressor to the tank. The ball rusted and it wouldn't hold air. fixed it with a acrylic part I made that has worked perfectly ever since. It...

They are coming along nicely.

See ya'all in the morning!

Same here Saúl. I moved into this house 13 years ago and there were all filament bulbs here along with spares. I figured out a new way to open and remove the filaments that is quick and easy using my bench grinder. It takes just a couple of seconds and works nice and safe. I use the coarse...

I wouldn't worry about aftermarket tracks on a 1/16th kit let alone metal tracks. In getting the tracks on my 251 to work and drape right, I spent the time with small files working on each track link part till they worked just right. Made a huge difference now that they are painted and all...

Have not built any of the Russian tanks (yet). I have been completely enjoying the 1/16th builds I have been doing, and I believe Tim has been enjoying his builds as well. I just bought a number of figures and packs of stuff to go on my builds. Yeah the Trumpeter kits are a bit on the pricey...
