I went to see The Long Walk last night. I loved the book and this film did it real justice. Some tweaks to the story but I can see why. It's brutal, hard to watch - as it should be. Some brave creative decisions. Acting by everyone was fantastic. #film #thelongwalk

A beautiful plane that. And they were used very effectively in ww2. They saved many lives by patrolling and sinking uboats in the Atlantic.

Not to be a snob but you can really tell the difference in the simple things when going from Tamiya to a Revell model. Tamiya instructions were clear, the sprues were much cleaner and had a better numbering system. Revell not bad just there are differences. In this model at least #histscalemodels

Well, it's almost done. Needs a tiny bit here and there and a matte varnish but here it is. I think this is my best model so far. Learnt a lot. Improved a lot. Screwed up a lot. Will take what I learnt and use it on #heaviesGB #histscalemodels

Thanks. Honestly I found it relatively easy to work with simply as you can literally erase any mistakes by just using some white spirits. And it blends so easily. Good tip I saw online is put the dab of oil paint on cardboard first and leave. It soaks up lots of the oil making it easier to use

First time working with oil paint. I'm in love! Today was a bit of weathering, panel lining and the famous Skyraider exhaust marks. Edging closer to being able to start #heaviesGB #histscalemodels

Four days to go and #HeaviesGB will start in the #histscalemodels community.
As an entertaining warm up in the meantime, let's get the most probable status posts out of the way😁

Looks great. What about blue/brown resin for the slush?

Skyraider is getting pimped out with some decals. Still a way to go - not even started weathering properly yet but gave me a boost to see it taking shape once the decals went on.
Please don't tell me if the decals are historically wrong. I went for rule of cool on this one. #histscalemodels

I'm almost certain Alfa Romeo and Honda teamed up in the 70s or 80s and made a car together. The funny thing is they used an unreliable Alfa engine and an ugly Honda design instead of a nice Alfa design with a reliable Honda engine.
Am I dreaming this? Can't find info

Super Mega Geek @supermegageek.bsky.social · Aug 22

Thanks for all your replies guys. Much appreciated. Feel a bit more confident now.

Should I use a gloss varnish BEFORE I put on the decals of after? What's recommended?

Really enjoyed Cyclades. I really wasn't in the mood for a big complex game but a friend wanted to try it. Turns out it's a pretty simple game. Lots of fun. Weirdly reminded me of Arcs. Highly recommend and would definitely play again. #boardgames
