Ok I'll go first since I missed the last couple of weeks due to work getting in the way. I've managed to finish my entry in the Car/Bike GB - this was Aoshima's 1/24 McLaren F1 GTR. Really enjoyed the build and would recommend the kit. The only addition was an after-market harness otherwise it was built out of the box. The interior and engine were painted using mixes of Vallejo ModelAir with detailing picked out using Tamiya semi-gloss black and Citadel metallics. The body was painted using Ultimate Black & Glossy Black followed by a couple of coats of Aqua Gloss. Is it Bretland-McCord super shiny? Hell no! Have I managed to incorporate my own unique blend of thumb-prints, glue bombs and general cock-ups? Oh yes indeedy! That being said I've worked out it's my first car build in 35 years so overall I'm happy with the way it's turned out

Hello Crew, this my Meng Panzer III Toon Tank.
I thought I'd have a crack at some armour.... So a big "Shout-out" to all the U-Tubers who share their knowledge, tips and techniques with us learners, because everything you see here is as a result of watching your videos. (If you don't like it - I guess I'll apologise up front).
Regardless of that, this $10 kit actually has over 100 parts, and was an absolute pleasure to build. These little beasts are great little mojo restorers.

I finished my Moebius Colonial Viper MkVII - 1:32.

I painted the ship in basically two parts. The engine assembly was primed in Ultimate Gloss Black and base coated with Mr. Hobby Dark Iron (buffable). Once buffed, I painted the heat stains with Tamiya transparent colors (Blue, Red, and Orange) thinned ~50:50 with Ultimate Thinners.

The body was primed in Badger/Ultimate gray. The base coat was Vallejo Air Pale Blue Gray. I painted the interior of the landing gear flaps with a yellow and black striped look to make the model a little more interesting. I painted the base color and then taped off the outsides and painted the inside with Vallejo Medium Yellow. To create the stripes I used Tamiya 6mm masking tape. I estimated the first angle and then laid down the strips edge to edge. I then removed every other strip. By using the tape this way I was able to keep the angles uniform. Once I had them taped off I sprayed with Vallejo Model Air Nato Black.

The model was cleared with about a 50:50 of Tamiya X22 and Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner.

I achieved more of a blue tint on the top of the ship using a dot filter of three different shades of blue from Abteilung 502. I left the bottom the original color. I used Abteilung 502 Smoke for a dirt effect. This was my first attempt at using oil paints, and I can't wait to get better with them. I like the ability to easily create tonal variations. I added a chipping effect with Vallejo Model Air Silver. The entire model was matted down with Vallejo Matte varnish.

With the end of "Under New Management" Group build drawing to a close this weekend in the Model Officers Mess, i finally added the tail detail I had forgotten and made a cheeky base. Build finished and ready for showtime.

WIP: 1/350 Merit USS Enterprise CV-6 With Ifini Photo Etch

Time to paint the exterior bulkhead photo etch (PE).
I masked off the interior and bottom hull.
Sprayed warmed Stynlrez grey primer at 20 psi using the Ultimate Apex airbrush.
I started spraying thinned Badger ModelFlex 5-S Sea Blue A (Late 1941) using my NEW Badger Extreme at 15 psi. Halfway through it clog and just wouldn’t spray.
I was not in the mood to deal with it so I just grab my Ultimate Apex and finished the job. Should have just used the Apex from the beginning.

Tamiya Leyton house.

This week I finished the carbon fibre decals,
Fixed all the bodywork decals I used the after market ones from studio 27.
Heat stained the exhausts withe mr metallic and alclad paints.
Ive used top studio rear shock absorbers and made a start fitting the Electrical fittings and plumbing.

1/32 special Hobby Yak-3

Bit of a recovery on this one, had a total disaster adding the decals over Alclad 2 gloss varnish, both decals and varnish melted into each other, so, no other choice but to strip it back to plastic. I used a mix of neat Dettol and MLT along with cotton pads with lots of elbow grease to strip it back. I'm happy I can recover this one.

This week I got the Sabre engine for the Hawker Tempest 99% finished. This is the best engine I have done so far and I am more than happy with the final result. Used AK extreme metals applied with a brush, many different tones of black (gloss, satin and matt) and washed with the AK engine wash.

Hello folks.

Tamiya 1/48 Zero - primed in Ultimate grey, Tamiya acrylics (mixed), mostly airbrushed but much of the brush technique used to repair lifted paint etc! Finished and heading for the top shelf out of sight or file 13!!!

Airfix 1/48 F.1 Lightning - all but finished, just the yellow decals on the canopy to do. Ultimate Black primer, Valleyheyho metal color of some silver persuasion oversprayed with MRP paints to smooth it off after much sanding. This could be my new paint mule you know

In the background 1/32 Hobbyboss SBD-5/A -24B Dauntless part primed with Ultimate black primer and dry fitted after fettling.

Thanks for looking.

This week I joined together the fuselage halves on my Airfix 1/48 Warhawk - the photo below show the cockpit beforehand

This was painted with Mr Color and Model Color paints, and then weathered with Ammo Mig Streaking Effects and pigments

One of the pigments colours I used was rust as when I looked up the area in China where this plane was stationed, it is famous for having vibrant red soil, and although I'm sure the planes never actually went to those exact areas I thought it would be a good nod to the location

Next step will be add the wings then the joys of seam removal etc

Finished my Beemax E30 M3 and Hasegawa 1/32 Raiden.
