I have a slightly bigger indexing unit that I bought years ago that has much finer control. It is kind of a beast for it's size and I would have to dig around to find it (yeah it has been that long) When you need them, you just need the right tool.

What color/paint did you use for the paint chipping Tim? I like it, especially the hubs on the bogies.

For some reason I thought that was a cabinet sitting on the floor and that they were huge. Now I see the cabinet is setting on an end table.

Looking good John!

Busy as usual eh Mark? So far so good. Seems like in my memory at some point I built a tug boat kit, and those two you built look to be the same molds. What scale are they?

Glad you found the Das Werk figure acceptable Tim. I think that they are a touch soft on the details molding, but otherwise are good. Years ago I painted D&D figures a lot and discovered that sometimes a little carving to accentuate the detail often gave better results. Usually didn't take...

I remember high winds blowing through Casper Wyoming when I was a kid. Have a big scar on my right thumb from one wind storm blowing a screen door shut on it when I was 3. Yeah I still remember that 65 years later.

Old OKie here in Tennessee. We would see ice storms with 1/2 to 3/4 inch of ice. Go to work. Two to four maybe six inches of snow, go to work. Here in TN 2 inches of snow EVERYONE stays home. (fine by me) First couple of storms here I would get out and drive around. The second time there...

What are the scale of these armor builds?

Reference, reference, reference, that is what makes all the difference. I always find it amazing that with the internet, all the postings for references available, that in this day and age manufacturers don't bother to do diligence and make valid attempts to do shit right. So far Trumpeter is...

Or, did it just go through Kursk and operation Barbarosa. Thus no mud to speak of and plenty of dust.

Looking really good John!

The Mercedes looks interesting Paddy. What caught my eye was the SM79 Sparviero. As it is 1/48th scale I will pass as I have both the messed up Trumpeter offering and the Classic Airframes reboxing done by Eduard which is supposed to be a much better build. HPH had a 1/32nd scale one in the...

It has been a bit of a pain in the can. Like the Pak 40 though it is coming together and looking quite good so far. The hard part is getting the paint looking good. It is getting there and I am learning a bit in the process. One thing I did was waited to put the armor sides on. Turns out it...

I do believe you have this just about right with the wear and tear. I am having trouble trying to think of how I am going to weather my half track. It is making progress and I have the track wheels all finished. Painted them and the frame behind with the "yellow" paint. Painted the tires...

I have seen photos of the back of P-47 and P-51 props that the black paint is feathered off like those on the Beaufighter. I have not seen any photos of the paint chipped like in the Spitfire photo. It is always good to see untouched and "restored" photos. They are always helpful, especially...

Turned out really well Paddy!

So far so good Tim!

Bob this gets the : award!

@JSteinman So, John why would that light be rotated to the rear like that? Do you have any idea? (I also have this kit so paying attention) Also, it looks like the left front head light is shot out and only a shell is left. The bolted on plate that Tim has on his build is also not on the...
