Re: Fred's Breakfast Bar
Nicely done Fred, that looks great. Old Tamiya kits have stood the test of time well in my opinion and I still very much enjoy building them. Many modern armour kits are just getting too expensive for me to justify.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Lovely build. Great finish work.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
Re: Fred's Breakfast Bar
The tank looks very nice Fred. As you know I am not much of a tank fan, but your weathering is always good. Are you going to fashion blankets or sandbags for the outside? Do you use oil for your wreathing?
Hope you are having better weather than we are.
Cheers from Ottawa.

Re: Fred's Breakfast Bar
Great build and the weathering looks spot on.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Fred's Breakfast Bar
Great work Fred, I really like what you have done with that - it looks like a vehicle that has seen service but the weathering is not over the top

Re: Fred's Breakfast Bar
Nice job on the Stug Fred. Those old Tamiya kits certainly stand up well despite their age.

Love your work Fred. I see you have done the reflective technique on the periscopes. Well used!
