A Kit Bashers Bench
A Kit Bashers Bench
Since August 2014, these are the 1/72-1/76 armour models I have completed.I dont consider myself an armour modeller but I have more luck completing them than aircraft.

Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
These are the other kits I made in the same time period.Airfix 1/72 Higgins Boat,Tamiya 1/48 Dingo and Hasegawa 1/72 Mirage F1.The Mirage was a gift from a friend and had no decals in the box.

Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
These next lot I made a couple of years ago,all are Tamiya 1/35.
Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
And these two Tamiya 1/35 British tanks are in a clean condition because I have a plan to make a museum diorama. Well we all no what happens to plans.
Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
My next attempted build will be this kit I bought for £1.25 from a charity shop.
Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
I have made a start by priming the frames with acrylic paint. I have not done 1/144 scale in years,and my chubby fingers are not the best tools for such a small scale but at £1.25, why not give it a go.
Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
Nice display. Really like your bases. Simple and do not distract from the good modeling.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
Thanks jssel,my wifes coasters are going missing fast.
Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
I have started to put this mini beast together, I forgotten how small 1/144 can be.
Not long after this picture was taken the inevitable happened.

Chubby fingers strike again.
I was cleaning up the wings ready to attach them to the body later and the knife slipped and sliced my finger

Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
After cleaning up the bench[due to my little slip with the knife], the wings,tailplanes, fins and pylons are on and the model is primed ready for the paintshop.

Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
Some great work going on here Celt and I particularly like your armour collection (as well as aircraft my other modelling passion is military vehicles) and that is a great use for coasters - I'll have to try liberating some of our older ones for my small scale tanks without the wife noticing
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.
Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
Thanks ShaunW, who needs to buy bases when coasters do the job quite well They are big enough for most WW2 armour and the finish on the ones I use dont need painting.
Re: A Kit Bashers Bench
While the main body primer coat is drying, I painted the ancillary parts on the frame with various Humbrol acrylics and an oil wash. The oil wash did not work too well.
