Not only am I fed up with the weather (no snow so far today but a couple inches due tonight), max temp minus 5. I am tiring of decals, 75% done. Underside to go.

I have lived in Aberdeenshire for 11 years, the older folk tell me this is what it used to be like. However, speaking as a Guernseyman, this is not normal. 6 days of the stuff, 6 days shovelling the drive just in case. I have never seen this much snow.

Weird decals sessions today. Same sheet, same process, same weather conditions. Yesterday and Saturday, smooth as silk. Today the decals are lifting after about 30 mins. I don't understand why.

During lockdown I built a Tamiya 1/35 Mk IV tank. For years it's sat on a shelf primed but unpainted. Time to slowly give it some colour.

Finally, my 1/72 military builds for 2025 - S-Model M151A2 'Mutt's, and Wiesels (one converted to TOW); PJM Models 3D-printed Alvis FV107 Scimitar; Italeri/ESCI M60 and Revell M60A3. Very much a cold war/West German theme going on! #MAFVA #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels

My Christmas family duties are complete. Back in the shed of beer and plastic. Dodging the freezing rain to get this done. Happy with it.

2025 Model Review
2024 ended in a mire of modelling confusion, obfuscation and self loathing. Nothing was going right, interest had been lost in the existing builds. I really couldn’t let this rotten state of …

Here we go, unusually we have a guest for 5 days over Christmas, this makes completing the #festivetankchallenge significantly more difficult. Went for something simple and fun.

Yak-3 of 303rd Fighter Division, late 1944. An early Eduard kit, not anywhere near as sophisticated as today's offerings.

A6M5 built under license by Nakajima. Captured by US forces on Saipan June 44. The scheme may or may not exist, and if it does nobody knows the actual greens used. I did it because I like it, and variety is added to my Zero collection

Bonjour #histscalemodels !
Now that #HeaviesGB has concluded, I would like to propose a new group build for 2026. I floated the idea a while back and people seemed interested, so here we go:
#BastilleBuild will run from May 1st to July 14th!
