More Motorcycles

Here we have the same chap with the Tamiya Honda CB750F and his girlfriend.

She obviously has the upper hand as he has bought her a Yamaha GR50 to pass her test on.

It is difficult to believe that the Yamaha is the same scale as the Honda.

It is supposed to be 1/12 as well.

I put the Honda in for comparison.

The figures are 1/12 dolls house bits.

Hope this entertains you all!!!!!

Motorcycling!

Here is the latest modelling effort.

This is a 1/12 Tamiya kit of a Honda CB 750-F.

The bloke will give some idea of scale.

Does he look a bit dodgy?

Wait till you see his girlfriend!

1/48th bits and pieces

I have been building a 1/48th scale diorama for the past year, maybe even eighteen months.

Having seen the blog I thought I would let you see some of the models I have built so far.

The idea (was) to build a WW2 Nazi research bunker. This is at the moment on a 4ft x 2 ft baseboard and has a narrow gauge railway on it. It seems to have run out of steam and I need an injection of enthusiasm to get going again.

It was to be partly underground with research facilities fro the V1.

On show here some of the vehicles and figures so far - I dug them out of their storage bunker.

Tamiya / ICM ground stuff

Just a few photo's of my 1/48th German ground equipment from Tamiya/ICM.
I hope you can see that the detail is exellent even with my painting skills. All well worth the effort.

My Citroen 11CV

Here it is, just about finished. Like all Tamiya kits it was a pice of cake to build. If you finde this hard you should take up knitting.
It dose look a bit 'die cast' but what the hell!!! I may get another one to paint German Gray.
Or should I take up knitting???

Telford weekend - part 4

Saturday is nearly over and we have retired back to our accommodation for a bit of a clean up before heading out again to the local pub.

Very enjoyable day with absolutely loads to see. I think this year is better than the last and I still haven't looked around the competition models yet.

Here is a little selection of some of today's purchases.

Telford weekend - part 2

After a hearty breakfast we travelled to the show. A little bit of a queue to get in at around 9.20 but eventually we arrived.

Lots of activity setting up models and catching glimpses of goodies to buy.








Watch this space for more show news as it happens!

Telford weekend - part 1

After a pleasant drive down and some breakfast, we had a look around the museum at RAF Cosford. Maybe it was just me but it was absolutely freezing!!


Then it was off to the exhibition centre to get set up.





A lot of activity with stalls being setup.

We left the table with a little humour!

Telford weekend

Well it's that time of year again, the Telford weekend!

A few of the club members will be making the trip down to saviour all that is good in the modelling world.

This year we are going to try and keep the rest of you updated through this blog with our adventures so check back regularly for more updates.

FLIPPIN ECK !

This is the latest project , big innit . As you can see

I've had a good tidy up just so I can work on the flippin'

thing . It's only 1/72 scale . Blohm & Voss B V 222 .

Revell kit , and very nice too , it looks as though it will

fit together with very few problems . The wings are a bit

warped but I don't see any reason why they won't pull

flat with a little brute force and ignorance ( I've got plenty

of that ) .
