First finished build of 2026. I'm assuming Stegosaurus would be a little bit dirty in real life. #HistScaleModels

Engine installed, time to get it cleaned and covered. The race is on to get it finished before the middle of February for my newly found local IPMS club group build #HistScaleModels

I think that will do on the AFV Club Mk VII Churchill tank. A very nice kit, if a bit tricky in places...I’ll make another of their Churchill tanks at some point I reckon…

Well it‘s subtle perhaps but it’s done and an attempt at something I haven’t really seen much of before…need to put some decals on this soon! 😊👍

Experience pays off this round on my B-25D Mitchell #ModelAircraft project. I only tack glued the forward nose glass & top hatch (as a bit of dust always seems to gather on the interior) Used some blu-tak to clean it up some. Day is waning so I’ll be back to do more another day. #HistScaleModels

Getting some colour on the beast. When you're tired and you mistake your metallic pink for flat red and decide to go with it anyway, whose to say they didn't actually look like this 🤷♂️ #HistScaleModels

First build of the year underway, a Christmas present from the kids who thought I should do something a little out of my comfort zone #HistScaleModels

A great start to the new year, a walk with wonderful scenery and a bonus Chieftain and Leopard on the side of the road.

2025 round up, only 5 fully complete models this year, half the usual number. Here's hoping for more bench time in 26 #HistScaleModels

A little bit of tidying up to do after the oils and washes then it's done. #Histscalemodels

My wife is on a trip to Edinburgh and is mocking me with pictures of what looks to be a great big model shop.

Starting on the oil pin wash, first time trying this on a metallic surface so might not look great #histscalemodels

Finished the Biber as my contribution to a group build on the other place. I've got an M3 Stuart on the go but I think I need to get back to my safe place and get an aircraft on the bench #HistScaleModels

Not being a figure painter I'm quite happy with how one of these turned out, even if one looks sad and the other startled #HistScaleModels
