Hello, Moving along with the accessories, doors and curtains. The curtains are made of foil painted in Humbrol enamels. The Doors have been detailed some more with Ammo old wood to show the aging at the bottom of the door. Splashback wall added in the kitchen and checking out positioning...

Hello Again, Small steps with the build, the torpedo's are now done ready to go on the boat. Switching between the projects is a good way of change and not losing the incentive on the build. Base coated in Vellajo Black primer with a combination of colours used with Humbrol, Vellajo and Gunze...

Thanks Guys It's been over 12 months with the figure painting side. I have started with the figures for the Russian diorama to try iron out any flaws with the Faces and hands before I move over to the Takom King tiger dio figures. First figures near finished are the Stalingrad on the road...

Thanks Bob and Hello again, Here is the next stage of the figure painting. Primed in Vellajo Acrylics and highlighted with Humbrol enamel and a dash of white oil paint highlights. Being a little rusty on the figure painting. The last time using the paintbrush was over 12 months ago. Small steps...

Nice work James, Michael

Thanks Guys. I managed to get them all Primed the other day with Vellajo's primer. First time using this primer and it was fantastic, straight out of the bottle no thinning. Shake the bottle well and pour into the airbrush cup. Michael 🍻 :Drinks:

Thank you for your comments. It's full steam ahead with getting the figures prepared for priming. I'm covering a small percentage of figures that have been built for the Takom King Tiger diorama. They are the dudes at the front. Have been sitting in the box for 3 years and thought I may as well...

Thanks Guys, I appreciate your words. Just thought i'd show some better images of the bottles and crates that may show the detail a little better. They now have to be sprayed with a satin varnish to hold the decal on the bottle as the decal will dry up and flake off as the material is not as...

Thanks guys , James, the car is a little Gem of a build even with the small parts. (y) 🙂 Michael

Hello again, small brief update 80% near completion of the hardest part of the dio, of course it had to be beer bottles lol 😁 Michael

Thanks Mike there certainly is.🤬 😁 Now that the last Panzer 38T is completed I can show some little snippets of the fine little pieces of the kit. And there is a Miniart V170 which is primed in sub sections ready to go. More to Follow... Michael

Nice work Ian. Good choice of Sherman. The kit comes with some nice detail. The 50 cal detailing in plastic is exceptional.(y) Michael

Thanks Guys, Here are the kits back in the box ready for paint. A clear indication of how much detail in the Hobbyboss kit compared to the Tamiya kit. As for quality between the 2 Hobbyboss(Tristar)wins hands down. Ease of build , Tamiya is out front , close inspection between the 2 has made...

Thanks again for your words, Lol , thanks Barney, I may have to space the infantry further away from the horses.:poop: Michael 🍻

Thanks Ian, Michael

Thanks guys . Yes, watching Bob's work on his logistics dio is fantastic motivation to start building. The dio base is not going to be too elaborate with buildings more so to have the terrain work in with the vehicles and figures. Only have the second Hobbyboss 38T to finish and then it's on to...

Wow, I have'nt seen so many trucks together like that Bob. A lot of work, simply jaw dropping every time I take a look. Michael

Hello, Here is another project started early this year. Shared with the Italeri Schnellboot. The concept is the Invasion of Russia with the reliance of Horse drawn infantry and Anti Aircraft. The kits have been more or less built out of the box with as little detailing as possible with a...

Wow Bob, I had to go back and re-read this thread it's a lot of man hours including the photo shopping work because that is a challenge within itself and many hours learning foregrounds and backgrounds...ahh the joys of photoshop. Excellent work. Michael
