Here we go!
Tinted the mortar into a light gray and gave it a quick coat of matte varnish.
Don’t get me wrong glazed bricks looked nice but I don’t think it fits the house 😝

It’s just a little chimney but this honestly was a fun and satisfying build!

That’s actually not too bad for a first try with miniature brick wall!
I hope the Vallejo plastic putty I smeared in there is not shrinking too much, we will know in an hour or so 😂

A quick pic of the Airfix Stalwart. There are a few details to sort before I start on the load. The Insidethearmour 3D exhaust guard looks fab. Warhammer decal "61" is the Matchbox toy catalogue number. BP decals from a bloke in Brazil. Dutch number plates from the AK Citroën HY. #histscalemodels

Excuse the blurry photos as I'm not used to photographing anything quite THIS small but I've just finished the cockpit internals on the red arrow! Ft a bunch of details nobody is gonna see but were very fun and fiddly to add 😁. #histscalemodels #scalemodels #plane #painting #redarrows

I'm waiting on some enamels, but I'm pretty happy with the weathering effects I was able to achieve with acrylics alone.

Nearly there now…🥳…the exhaust system needs a few touch ups and maybe some brighter rust in places 👍

1/144 PBY assembly complete. Tomorrow is decals and detail painting - mostly black deicing boots. Really enjoying this tiny scale. #Histscalemodels

Ok, got the Lancia finished. It took a while and some shaky moments attaching all the little bits at the end. Wing mirror is somewhere only the carpet knows.😂👍

Just started my first model of the year!! Not my usual subject matter but it's one I made as a teen so it hopefully should be an easy model 🛬 .

Finished my last model of the year! Not 100% happy with it because of fitment issues (I need to stop buying hasegawa kits omg) but I think enough of the vision is there!

Completed one of my Christmas presents! I'm not usually one for Lego technic cars but this was fun to make.

PCBs off to the hazardous waste processing facility. Or the nearest ravine. Whichever is closer.

Haven't posted any progress lately as I'm working on a Christmas present for my partner and he has me on here (hiii) so no pics allowed... I was gloss coating parts anyway so decided to gloss the lambo and it's come out the exact colour I wanted 😍😍 #scalemodels #histscalemodels #cars #carmodels

The Unimog is 97% complete. The AA gun, stowage, and figures is next. Then I can finish up the base and call it done. #histscalemodels.

I finished up my winter Tamiya Kubel. As mentioned to Tom I've been slapping weathering products on this and trying out a few things. The chipping worked, but uneccessary. The acrylic mud is good and using oil paints has been a fun experience.

So we have gone from Lilac to a deep clear purple finished off with a purple green flip.
Letting that dry now. First coat of super clear later.

Since most of this will be covered by the jeep, I wanted to show it off. Going to place the remaining pieces and then I'll be right back with the glamor shots.

Groundwork started, figure sitting at about 50%, #histscalemodels. You can't see them, but I added the dreaded washboards known on poorly graded dirt roads. 😎
