Popular Post dannyeprice23 12 Posted November 5 Popular Post Share Posted November 5 Well, few years back I took on a promotion at work. Completely underestimated the stress it would incur and it was getting me down. Well, decided to take up a past time in order to wind down a bit and it really did help.! So, scale models. In particular WW2 armour for me. Here is a couple of photos of my recent build. An M4A3 Sherman. L3wisD, Lozart, Iceni and 3 others 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical Pith Helmet 18 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Impressive! I did a lot of these as a kid. I did a few WWI aircraft in my 20s when I gave up smoking too. dannyeprice23 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Iceni 769 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Very nice, I like the transitions through the olives/browns. I do a fair few kits each year, Mostly tanks and planes, but I have a citroen 2cv and a landrover series III LWB on the table atm. They tend to sit through summer and get picked up more in winter! If you want a challenge have a look at Takom models. They do some really well detailed kits that are a good step up from the standard airfix kits. This is a Takom T55 I did a few years ago.

Really nice work. I’ve eyed up something a bit more modern a few times over the last few weeks.! 3 hours ago, 2MT Paul said: Excellent details mate, I build a lot of these.

I’ve looked at a 1/32 P-51 but a Lancaster would take me about 14 years.!! Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Patience being the one that runs out quickest when something doesn’t go right.! The first wash on the Sherman went dreadful.! Was seconds from launching it into the garden! 2MT Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Greg147 180 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 I've taken to turning Tesco photo-frames into small scenes in 1/72. Not quite up to the same level as those above; I need to focus more on the quality of my painting and weathering effects etc, but it's tricky without an airbrush. Anyway, keeps me busy.
