    A different little project

    So I took a little time whip out a bottle holder from scrap bits of styrene tube and some plastic sheet/card. Bottom need to be completely glued but it worked well once complete. Eve some spots for toothpick and pins!

    A different little project

    So I did not know that my ugly ass block carved from foam as a bottle holder was dangerous when you spill adhesive on it. Something about fumes?

    Cold War Russian soldier question

    So I’d like to find some 1/35 figures from the Czech Invasion of 1968, like in the attached pics. Can I use WW2 tank riders and just update equipment and maybe use different (non-helmet) heads?
