That is looking pretty good James. coolminiornat.com is a great source of painting techniques from both the novice and the world's best figure painters. Sure it is aimed more towards the fantasy end of the stick but the techniques are the same. Fur is really good for using darker washes to...

I am no expert and don't even pretend to be. However, I do have a book that contains a very few pictures of the Zeiss scissors telescope sf.14.2 being used out of the cupola of a Panzer I. I don't know why that would be the case other than what has already been mentioned about the superior...

Thanks for the input guys. I have decided to whitewash the kettenkraftrad for sure and will more than likely do the bikes on the ground also. I agree with you about the Vulcan Models kit Saul. I wanted one but they were too hard to get when I was putting in orders for my 2 wheelers. Where did...

I have just finished the Great Wall Hobby kits of both the BMW 75 and the Zundaap.( I now know I don't have fingers for installing brake lines etc on a 1/35 scale bike). As I was going to use them in a winter themed diorama I would like to know if winter white camo was ever used on things like...

The relevance of this answer depends on where you live but I keep my non slip surfaces for a day so hot that normal airbrushing isn't possible and use the heat to my advantage. I mask off the other areas and spray away. The paint drying in mid air sand blasted look works a treat for trailer tops...

Finally found 3 Tamiya kit conversions. Have sent you a pm regarding what they are.

Thanks for the heads up regarding Voyager's homepage... I was about to scoot on over there and don't need anymore hassle with my PC. I'll have to remember 'scriptkiddie'. It's a little more flattering than the term I use. :laugh: I think my bro-in law nailed it when making the observation that...

If this list encompasses all traders I have a couple to add. I have dealt with Hobbystuff Depot from China and two Aussie mobs I.R Models and BNA Modelworld. All have delivered promptly, although one of my orders from Hobbystuff took almost a month but as it was tracked I found out it spent...

Just as the thread title says...are the PzKpfw I Ausf A's fenders the same specs as the PzKpfw I Ausf B's? I ask as I have been having trouble sourcing Ausf A PE fenders online from a reputable company but can get the Royal Model Ausf B fenders from someone I have done business with before...

Thanks for the tip concerning the lights. I was not aware of that fact . Thankfully they are built but not installed.I am pretty sure I haven't done the third anyway as yet. I am kicking myself for not thinking of PMing Bob as it was his BR52 that found me at T&T in the first place.

My BR52 was almost building itself until I hit a snag with the construction of the steps leading up to the driver's cabin. No matter what I do ( and options are limited due to predrilled holes in the etch telling you were to attatch things) I can't get the sides of the steps to fit inside the...

Thanks for the input James...very much appreciated. I am glad I read it before I started soldering as it was given to me by a plumber so I guess it is probably plumber's solder...no label or packaging to note otherwise as a length was cut off for me. Although thankfully I would have tried scrap...

Thanks Moon Puppy and Iron Mike. I have already checked out the PE soldering threads on here and a few other external sites. I have the information I need to get my act in gear in regards to starting learning how to do it but wanted to know specifically about the use of flux cored solder and...

After mentioning that I was going to learn to solder in order to build the Voyager etch part of my BR-52 I was given a large length of flux cored solder. As I have not had previous experience with this and have only seen tutorials with liquid flux I am wondering if it is suitable or not. Can it...

For a heavily oxidized patina I generally try to achieve it using a mixture of Vallejo Model Colour Emerald #838, Blue Green #808, Light Turquoise #840, Verdigris Glaze #832 and finally White. As the patina is almost never a uniform colour you can also add small dots of black mixed in with one...

My, my, my... what a BIG gun you have. Seriously, I love the camo.It looks so right on that beast and is very well balanced. Very pleasing to the eye.

I apologize profusely for taking so long :cheer: I looked through the issues from the 70's but they were mainly from 78 onwards and could not find anything that involved a conversion of a Tamiya kit.... or any kit for that matter. I will pm you if I come accross any when getting more mags...

I was tossing up between the Lion Roar and Voyager etch for this baby. After seeing your effort I am kicking myself for not wanting to wait for the Voager to be in stock and settling on the Lion Roar stuff. That is one sweet looking 88mm I must say. I like the reels and etch seat from voyager...

I had to go back and find the lizard as I didn't spot it first time. Fantastic detail especially in the back of the Tilly. Natural looking stowage. What did you paint the bodywork itself in Jenny?

Nice work.I can easily picture it in my mind as part of the larger landscape which I only do with realistic looking subjects. Yes...gotta love that gull...or seagail as my daughter calls them.
