Plastic models made by me.
Because trying to track down the Halcyon kit was impossible, I got this 3d printed version from Ebay. I used AK markers for the details, some old decals and holographic film for the cockpit. The arms do fold in for storage as otherwise it's quite big on the shelf.

My first car build, Tamiya's Porsche GT. It turned out trickier than I thought as the chassis might have warped (or my cludgy building) so the top didn't quite fit how I expected it to. Decals were easier than I thought they'd be though. Overall I'm happy with it.

This is Bandai's A-wing. I really like these kits, loads of detail, they fall together and any extra details can be added if you like. I used oils on this one, and I now regret not using them sooner!

I finally finished the Liberator, made up as "First Sergeant", an assembly ship. I know it's not the right version but it's what I wanted to do. The spots were made with hole punched masking sheets as I found online that the sizes matched for the scale.

Since Die Hard is a Christmas film, a brief thread on my own head canon of how the Gruber brothers disparate bios are tied up in postwar German history.

Got a new addition to the study, now I won't lose track of time so much when at the bench. Bonus inclusion of the bomb shelter in my garden.

I've made a start on the new Airfix B-24. It's a solid build so far, but I think I'll have a little bit of fettling to do to line up the nose section with no gaps.

Double posting here and the other place for a while, sorry if you see it twice. Finished my first tank build, Takom's Chieftain in the Berlin Brigade scheme. At 1/72 it's really small, but I had fun doing it, any future AFV builds will be in a bigger scale though.

Started building something new today, just a few more boxes left to go now.
