Cheers Guy I hit a wall with it (metaphorically speaking) so it’s currently spying on me from that high shelf

Thanks for your kindness gents Somehow I’m weathering all three of the MBT’s at the same time and I’ve cut some high density foam to make small bases as I go….

Cheers guys, my modelling time is quite limited presently so dealing with a few small builds works well. I’ve been making other things, namely the RC car. A bit here and a bit there. Thoroughly enjoying it and very much looking forward to hooning it about in some gravel! The paint work has come up lovely, almost a shame to cover a lot of it up with the rally scheme, but it’s a rally scoob so gotta be done! Putting it all together was pretty straightforward. I hunted down a few after market aluminium upgrades, I hear they improve the drive? We’ll see! The kit only came with really basic shocks, just a spring on a bendy plastic shaft, so got a set of oil filled adjustable shocks. Which you have to completely assemble also.
I’ll post up a few more pictures once all the livery is on it.

Maybe look at getting another closer to retirement!

Been working on a base for the Abrams. I watched the latest episode of nightshift and thought I’d try what he did on a smaller scale. The base still needs weathering but it’s getting there..

I was going to say that base looks just like the latest night shift! I already had the cork sheets so when I saw him using it I thought I’d have a go. I couldn’t find a filler that would crack convincingly like he did so I’ll keep an eye out for something next time I’m let out in public Thanks for the kind words gents, glad you like how it’s going

I picked up a few of these Zvezda 1/100 a while back as Benson Jr wanted something she could build and paint. Ended up painting most of them myself.
