Chris, that's a lot of pressure :unsure:, but thanks! I am amped about building this scene, I've been collecting figures and mark III helmets. I also ordered the 1/35 La Fonderie LCA kit from modelhobbies in the UK, should be here in a week or so and I'll officially enter then. The work to...

What a cool Churchill conversion! Thanks for the history and background too. The tank and carrier look great.

No really, I think it's interesting because you don't often see standalone figures in a distinct pose like that, they're usually fighting or looking off in the distance. I also like WW1 aviation subjects, and posing him over Albert Ball's grave is touching, I'd like to build a model of Ball's...

That's an interesting figure.

That red scarf is amazing. The archer is great too.

I decided not to wait for one of the new Bronco or AFV Club kits, picked this up at the LHS today for the group build... 1/48th means the flak tower won't be too big. It's great to see so much involvement in this GB. :cheer:

Fun! I've been keeping an eye out to buy a couple of these.You did a good job on yours.

Some work on the base tonight. My wife's been busy with a new job and my kid is away for holidays so I've had lots of time to model lately B) The sidewalk and cobblestone street is latex by Kancali, the pub is foamcore and matboard so far, lots of work to do. I put a helmet in the MG, does...

Thanks folks. Laura, I had to look up Captain Hasting's car, apparently its a Lagonda Funny, the actor that played him is Wellington from the Sharpe shows. John, I bet she has some great stories. Adrian, that's a great figure, please share in-progress shots. Ted

Nice groundwork. The whitewash and weathering are great too.

Those are fun figures, I'd love to see photos of the other ones you've painted. I've tried painting 5 o'clock shadows on figures before, the best examples I've seen from pros have used more grey paint, not so much the hair colour. Ted

I started building a scene of a British street during WW2. The two women will be walking into a corner pub. The Airfix car was fun to build but I think it's going to take some work to make it look like it's not a toy. It's painted with Humbrol enamel and has a long way to go. The Tilly was a...

Great work Chris, although it pains me to see a wrecked CMP :( . The dio idea is imaginative too.

That is so interesting. Please keep us updated with your progress on the kit. Ted

My private museum, The Models, Part two Thanks Bob. What a collection of history.

Nice work. It's not easy getting those angles right with that number of plates.

That's an interesting car. Nice groundwork.
