Global Scale Modeller

It certainly doesn't disappoint with the level of detail there are a few mold lines which I guess is still to be expected, but they are noticeable at this scale. However it doesn't detract from the kit as they are fine and won't take much to level them.

What extra did you have with it ? Mine was with resin wheels. And my expert set with PE and mask

No extra's, just a basic kit no PE no mask. I got a crude paper template for masking...

Got a few more goodies today:

Woah, I didn't know anyone made models of the Fa 330. Very cool find!

I think there is around 6 different manufacturers in 3 different scales, but you don't see them much.

Yae my new nippers are here......just need to start a new kit now




The old ones do look a bit tatty.

Got some stuff in before the Christmas rush

The Meng bolts set #3…they are ok, probably better off just 3D printing my own


A Lightning McQueen. Gonna make this up real nice even though it is snap kit. Kachow!


Having some computer issues at work so not able to upload any photos nor see all the forums postings.
New computer coming before the end of the year.
Been sick as hell end of November, first two weeks of December so far. Absolute shite flu going around and has long lasting effects.
My knee is acting out at the same time so I am hobbling around and uncomfortable. Throbs at night so not sleeping well aside from the flu. Been fun

Sorry to hear your a bit crook. I hope it clears up soon. Bad joints are a real problem. Try to put surgery off as long as possible as the knee is truly painful when they start operating.

Indeed. They seem to replace knees early vs doing surgery repairs now
I went to the chiro first vs my doctor for that reason
F'ing sucks getting older

I can tell you at 64 it isn't any easier and I'm not used to old age yet. Both my parents are still going at 91.5 for dad and 83 for mum and they have been complaining about aches and pains for a long time. Maybe you become used to it, but it's a long time to be achy. Still got all their own joints too. Dad has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer despite having the operation when he was 68. Very important to keep a check on PSA levels.

I think it doesn't matter where you live, Austrillia, North America, England, or anywhere else; living with this "age" thing along with its aches and pains is a p-a-i-n. But I guess it is better than the alternative (not living). I'm 64 as well and have had orthroscopic surgery on both my knees. I've also had various broken bones in my feet, ankles, legs, etc. Along with that I also have pinned, and fused feet that can tell the weather changes better than any forecaster. One thing I found that has made a near 90% recovery was getting professional custom shaped orthotics for my shoes. While they are not cheap and take several doctors visits, they align the pressure points in your feet along with correcting your postures alignment through your ankles, knees, and hips. While it may just make life better until the eventual surgery, I would highly recommend them prior to any operation.

Enough of that... soon my order for supplies will be arriving to include new files, side cutters, a hole punch and die set, new paint racks, quality tweezer set, and some other stuff. Photos when they arrive..... 9 more days till Christmas, hope everyone is prepared.

Hah!! Youths the pair of you. I'm 67, been blown up once (that was enough!!), broken both ankles more times than I care to remember, deep fried both feet in an RTA, had knee problems for years,finslly got an an appointment for keyhole surgery to fix the torn meniscus in both knees - only to have the consultant retire just before the op was scheduled and then have the new, bright young thing that replaced him, tell me I am too old and surgery won't be cost effective and cancel the op. So every few months now I have to get a needle stuck in each knee and be injected with a sterooid solution!!

Show off...

Did you not throw the grenade after pulling the pin ?

What in the heck is RTA and how did you come to cook your feet ?

I know you have had a rough trot and I've and many others have been relatively lucky. Only broken bone I've had is in my wrist...slipped in a creek bed and hand went down between some rocks. Been in about 6 car accidents ( I was the driver ) and walked away without a scratch.....skill !

No grenade - IED as they are now known Luckily for all involved on my side the idiot who detonated it truly was an idiot and blew it too early.

RTA = Road Traffic Accident. In this case hitting the back end of a Saracen APC with the nose of a Stalwart. Impact was so bad it bent the armoured rear door of the Saracen into a banana and bent the frame of the Stalwart. Heater matrix in the cab of the Stawart split on impact and filled my boots with coolant at about 130 deg C. Felt the intial pain ,thought I'd fractured both ankles again so first aider left the boots on. Took 1 5 hrs for paramedics to arrive by which time I had 3rd degree deep penetration burns to 75% of my feet and ankles. Not a pretty sight, even to this day.

Back on topic - these arrived today so work can resume on the King Tiger!!

Sh..e thats nasty.
Lovely brush paints the 3rd gen sets and I've persuaded myself to swing over to them and drop the Lifecolour after getting a few glugy ones( Old age got them ), except the black set. Haven't tried to airbrush them yet.

Circle cutter showed up today.

I like that circle cutter
Those Dspiae tool are all awesome

Nothing awesome just some mundane supplies and extra's for future builds.


I'm a bit miffed at et as they only provide half a set of wheels for a Sd.Kfz. 234 . Initially thought I was getting a full set for my 8 Rad at a very reasonable price then found out I I had to buy another set at the new price which wasn't yet in stock. So something to be aware of with ET.

This was on sale too and in my research on the Centurion this popped up so I felt compelled to treat myself.....again

Santa was good to me this year, got a new chair for the modelling bench which was sorely needed and the starter kit for Bolt Action! Looks like there is more mini painting in my future.

Postie came today - 2 pots of Tamiya XF27 Black Green and a Edouard PE kit for the Tamiya SAS jeep!!

More postal goodness:

got these back in november





got the christmas presents to my self showing up tomorrow

decided to get some models for christmas. as they say treat your self






some times being single is a good thing

Got this today - Tamiya's "Zimmerit" coating decals for the Elefant:


Alsp got notification from Friuhl that my metal tracks werecen-route to me

This turned up this morning - I'm a big fan of the Cobra and thought this was a really eye-catching scheme


I also picked up appropriate masks & cockpit sets.

Seems to!! There will be a thread in the helicopter group build once the first Chinook is done.

I picked up a new tool which Scott will recognise straight off.


I've been alerted to this just recently and should be great fro aliening the 2 halves of tank plastic barrels which always cause some concern.
About 5 bucks each on ebay and another 3 for the metal band.

It's just to bring two halves together as evenly as possible all the way along the length of the tube and too minimize the gap filling/sanding.

Ahh using them as clamps for something round. Right. Genius

I don’t think 2024 is a ‘no new kits’ for me kinda year..maybe the opposite.

Sweet. I've got a parcel inbound tomorrow. I bought something's whilst on holiday that are just arriving, but I've got high hopes for a train in maybe March. That's my biggie for the year.

I use those toffelmires every day and would never have thought of that application
Oi the weather
It has been colder here when we were up at the ski hill!
And the damp coastal makes it worse. Been hovering about -10 with wind chills deep into teens.
Nice clear and cold though, quite pretty
View from my office desk window, North Shore mountains (and a crap load of new towers)

Ordered a while back, this is the first of several items to arrive. I've never purchased anything made by Amusing Hobby, but my initial look of the sprue has me thinking it is pretty good. It comes with articulating individual track links made of plastic and the suspension is suppose to move as well. I think my current build of the Churchill AVRE had something to do with this....



Some color combinations:



I suppose I'll need to look for another British or Austrialian tank crew as I like to have a crew to show the scale better.

Nice pick up.
The Aussie Centurions are quite different from the British versions. Mainly because of the extra fuel tank attached to the back and the extra glacis plate armour. Yours looks very British, plus we didn't have the extra armour on the turret.

Here is a surprise I wasn't expecting. A young friend of Jarrod's got this for us to build. This will be interesting as I would normally not build something like this. Lets call this a case of expanding our horizons. Perhaps we may even do a little less ninja and more military camouflage colors (?)

Here we go, this arrived today from eBay


1969 Revell Harley Davidson 1/8 scale Electra Glide motorcycle kit. Local seller.
My plan would be to make it into a Police Motorcycle

Lots of chrome in here






The police version…scalemates says it is the same kit, so should be able to convert it.

Holiday buys arrived
Always been fascinated by the recoil mechanism in these French machines.


This is a real oldie of the old school.I'm hoping it builds up better than my expectations of it.

That AMX looks like a fun kit!

The post man dropped off some Bolt Action stuff. One pack is two female Russian snipers in pewter made by a 3rd party producer. The other is a resin and pewter Jeep. They will be fun side projects while letting the main force cure/dry.

More postal goodness for me!!
Set of Hataka modern RAF colours - I can now progress the RAF Chinook as well as other kits like the Jaguar, lightning, TSR-2 and Tornado.


And another auction bargain.... Never built a Sword kit before so.should be quite interesting when the time comes.

Well I needed a artillery tractor for my 25 pounder....wish and you shall receive


And well this is just plain quirky looking.

Plus at really low pricing. Would you believe for brand new kits $25 and $30 respectively and the post coming in at 20 total.
How could I let it pass

I like the artillery tractor. I remember when going to "the range" while stationed in West Germany we used those old AMX tanks as targets in the impact area. I always thought the turret looked different too. I built on of those 1/32 Boeing P-12's from Hasegawa many years ago. As I remember, they are pretty basic kits with average fit, but they could do with a detail kit for sure.

More arrivals in the mail for Jarrod and I, here we go:



















The motorcycle and rider will take one day just to remove and clean-up the molding channels, but I thought it was a nice looking piece. The A-7 Corsair cockpit is for an up and coming build.

Ben

That motorcycle dude looks like a fun one to paint up.
