Yeah thanks for that, I'm changing the 'Toy' 58th Tiger for a Hobby Boss 48th T-34-86 which should do the dio justice. It truley is an amazing kit, packed full of amazing detail and potential. The bigger scale of the T-34 should fill the shoes of the Tiger nicely Sixteen sprues and one of...

Nice weathering, very understated and balanced, I'll bear it in mind when i get around to installing my t-34 on my dio.. ;) Best wishes, Steve

Thanks, very well..... <a href="http://s793.photobucket.com/user/stevengmccarron/media/DSCF1990_zps00f0b7f9.jpeg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy219/stevengmccarron/DSCF1990_zps00f0b7f9.jpeg" border="0" alt=" photo...

Thats very nice, it looks like saltwater damage if you don't mind me saying.......

Baking went well. Your not supposed to do this with this particular Das, or shoudln't have to but extra warmth accelerates the hardening. It was a close thing though, I forgot about my cooking and as a consequence the base board warped slightly. However.............., it has actually improved...

I finished the setts for the moment, so I started the canal to the left. It will have ashlar masonry blocks which will eventually just be above the height of the road with channels for water to leave the camber onto the canal on that side. I have shaped the canal as being shallow towards the...

More setts in place. I have punched some through so as to leave some gaps. wear and tear and all that. When they get too loose, the holes fill up with crap and the setts get pushed out like loose teeth. Some of the setts are bunched together, tight, others are further apart. I will go over...

The Das won't stick to the foam normally, so I sprayed it with acrylic matt black paint to seal it. Wetting the Das and smearing it on hard makes it adhere really well. I am imprinting the basalt setts with a tool that I made. Bigger than british setts, these would be 4-6 inches square and not...

I'm gonna use Das for most of the landscape and paving, hard landscaping etc. This means my build medioum will stay malleable and soft for me to work and then i can hit it with heat to harden it as i go along at stages of the build

I borrowed the bread knife to cut the foam. Shhhh....... It cuts like a razor and dosent 'crumb' the foam. You can kinda see the form of the dio now. I think......

I was building a 1/35th Sturmtiger, but hit a dilemma as where to go with it. I could detail the innards and then proceed, or leave the inside and concentrate on the outside. Anyway, I reckon the safest thing to do was to leave it. My experience is that you do something else and your mind sorts...

Oh, Hi, not to well. I kinda came to a crossroads as far as the detail is concerned inside and stopped. You see Half of me would like to give it more in ternal detail and I have seen these with some great superdetailing. Most of it just seats, containers, extinguishers etc with bumps and...

Awsome job indeed. Is it true that some tanks went out of the factory without a lick of paint even :o

Super paintwork, weathering, distress, so realistic, brillliant, wish i could help with your question though, but I don't feel qualified, I just wanted to say how good your model is so far........... :)

See what you mean, i suppose its what your used to. I like the comparison of those field guns though... If I could do a vignet like that american AA gun I'd be using the effect they achieved with theirs thats all. I couldnt see it as you described it though as christmas toy snow. I think I'll...

Hi, if you look at the ice and snow gun picture, compare it to the real thing here i just found!

Hi, I'm kinda confused here. I'm building a dio and I have asked what I should use for my 1/35th. I know whats around and what my options are for a realisatic winter scene and all the stuff i have seen either looks like albino hairs off a kiwi fruit, coconut, or soap suds. I have had a look at...

That's what I want, 1/72 scale and I can see snowflakes there. I like the way you can see through it too.

Yeah, I'm going to enjoy getting on with this........... When I can......... :'( Theres not enough hours in the day, I thought I would be in the workshop tonight, all night to make some progress. Ho, hum.

I know its slightly off topic but last night on TV they showed a dive off the north of Ireland. In clear water they went down and as I walked in the room the camera panned out as the divers were suspended above the huge bulk of a type 21 U boat sitting perfectly on the bottom. It was absolutley...
