Tristar Storch; So far so good

Well it's not bad really, just a few bits to add to the cockpit that Tristar missed but nothing too outrageous lol. The fit of the exhausts to the cyclinders was a bit hit and miss (mainly miss) and really I should have drilled and pinned them. Not a big issue as you won't see them with the cowlings on but if you are planning to expose the engine then its something to think about.

Time to make a plane

So in between the VK1602, RSOV and the sWS summat or other I fancy building this;

Sorry for the picture quality but its via my phone.
By the way its the Tristar 1/35 kit and it looks VERY nice in the box, how it goes together remains to be seen so stay tuned :o)

Hobbyboss 1/35 RSOV

This is the Rangers Special Operations Vehicle as kitted by Hobbyboss. There is not a lot of info available but what I did find I've used to tweak the kit. A review of the kit will feature in Model Military Int'l magazine soon, hopefully followed by the article to correct it..D'OH! :o)

Hopefully I can get some paint on it soon.

SWS and VK1602 updates

Finally got around to painting these two. First the GWH SWS;

Then the Hobbyboss VK1602:

 All the camo was sprayed freehand then touched up with the base colour after to get rid of the overspray.
Hopefully I can get some gloss varnish on the VK1602 tonight. More later...

Alpine Miniatures 1/16 Panzer Leutnant figure

I originally painted this figure a couple of years ago but was never happy with the way the face turned out plus the paint was too shiny on the trousers, which sometimes happens with certain Vallejo acrylics.
Anyway I repainted the face about a month ago, sprayed Lifecolour matt varnish onto the trousers to kill the sheen and actually made a proper base. I think it looks a lot better!
The original figure from a couple of years back;

And now the (finally) finished piece;

I do planes as well :o)
