Right Lads, discuss models you're working on, share pictures, plans, dioramas, places to buy, brands of model and paint, even war gaming models such as those in Bolt action and Flames of War.

All of it goes here. Enjoy :)





This is my first model, will shortly begin work on a Normandy diorama in 1/35 or 1/72 I am undecided thus far. I like the look of Italeri and Taimya models and paint, so willl likely go for them.

Also considering buying a Bolt Action rule book (I like the look of the game but I'm not going to use their models) and perhaps get a friend to play against me (May give my diorama an alternate purpose)

Create yourself a photobucket account Bud.

Email yourself the photos from your phone, save them to your computer then upload to photobucket. Use the IMG link beside your photo on photobucket then copy and paste it here :)

 
Ok, I've uploaded them using my ipad onto photo bucket from my camera roll, now to get them here!

 
Is that one the one you did over a pint of guiness? If so I'd love to see some of yours when your sober! It looks like one if the metal ones you can get at model shops!

 
Aye built sober (ish) ;) , painted and decal'd over the course of two pints haha! Thanks mate I'm flattered, its only the cheap starter cromwell airfix sell.

Edit: Going to take some pics of it now I've weather and muddied. ETA 5 minutes

Thankyou! I hate decals with a passion :angry: I would rather freehand paint markings instead of faffing about with them.

 
It was a good laugh trying to get them off the backing a little bit tipsy, punched myself in the chin a few times as my hand slid off but the decal didn't lol!

 
The only thing i dont like about airfix is having to put the stickers in water (dont think the word sticker is used but can't remember the other word) to get them off and I ripped one on my spitfire :( Stilll, looking forward to doing the Lancaster!

 
Decals or transfer are what they are normally called. In my case its normally you f*****!
