The Scale Models/War gaming discussion and pictures thread.

Fantasy/Scifi wargaming for me only at the moment!

Play a lot of Warhammer/40k - also really digging Dystopian Wars at the moment but would like to start building some WW1/WW2 armor models for display only purposes!

Will get some pictures of my better work up shortly!

You get what you pay for! That is a 1/72nd model so it's huge and FM make spectacular detail on their kits. There is a 1/144 scale Falcon too that is about £43 and far easier to justify.....

 
The wooden model pic I posted today is soooo hard the instructions do bugger all and basiccally just look at the photo used to advertise this! Rrggghhhhh

Gonna start a nice and easy of Focke Wulf now so I have a few more planes for the D-Day diorama! ......

I'll need more than luck, I'll need an A* in deciphering crappy instructions lol

 
Yet again all of what I ordered isn't in stock. This is becoming a habit... lol

 
Damn you. :angry: Because of this thread I have now ordered a couple of kits:

1:76 Matilda MkII from airfix

1:76 Australian Infantry by Revell

Now I will have to work out how to make a small patch of 1:76 jungle to put them in.

I imagine a bit of model making will be quite fun, I haven't done it in years.

 
Do you people use clay or expanding foam or something else for the places ,"scenes" that you put them in? I've only used clay and haven't actually bought a proper diorama kit yet but am looking at the ones I linked....

 
I'm going to be using the paper mache technique to form a landscape, then i'll buy/make trees fences and buildings.

Heres one way to landscape :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kQ2UAkmxZE

@ Russell (sorry if theres only one l mate I always forget!)

Maybe try a clearing/the edge of the jungle? Few trees on the very edge of the base, the rest can be grass/sand/soil with your tank and infantry posed there?

Thanks!Mum says if I do good in test (an A or higher) I'll be able to have two of the sets as gifts woo HOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Predicted grade is an A so hopefully....

 
Here are my airfix soldiers, most are 1:72 apart from the Second World War German infantry:

My misfits who have been found in charity shops going for 1p each:



The napoleonic era infantry:



French Great War infantry:



The dead person. Please dont hate me for saying this but I think this adds more realism and shows what it was like with the dead being everywhere:



The Great War German infantry, including the deadly flamethrower sand stretcher bearers:



Finnally, world war 1 British Infantry and Second World War British paratroopers. I had some German para's somewhere.....



Enjoy :)

Edit: forgot the pic of some infantry...
