Sorry for lack of updates, I'd been distinctly off colour for a most of the summer, so things had slowed to crawl.

 

This culminated last Friday (September 17th), when I was rushed to hospital after suffering a 'Cardiac Event' (heart attack).

I'm on the mend, but I'm having to take things easy.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

 

Like the 315 squadron Mustang and that PZL looks really  good.

Hope mine comes out as well, whenever that might be

I have a Mirage 1/48 PZL in the stash too to do as well at some point.

Best wishes.

 

Thanks, I'm getting there slowly, as a client's told me Roman wasn't built in a day.

 

Though there's days I've felt like the Colosseum - ancient and crumbling lol.

 

That being said I'm back in the workshop, but only for a few hours a day at present, as the meds do take their toll.

 

They'll be a proper update on works when I'm far more focused.

 

In the meantime here's a few things to wet the appetite.

 

Nearing completion.

Great weathering,  good to see you can now get back to the workbench! 

 

As an aside I built a Parkside BY and PLV during one of the lock-downs. Went together ok but kept derailing when run on the layout.  I realised they were too light, and added 70 gm weights to bring them up to the sort of weight r-t-r vans of a similar size are.  That's worked.

Yep 70 grams of car balancing weights on board both them here - well now in Coventry ;)

Brassmasters Match Truck

 

matchTruck_09.jpg.d41220fabc0dac6d45987ad1d3c97525.jpg

 

 

More bits added, but photo-etch and me are having issues atm - they cut me and I bled a lot (so a solution is needed).

 

Eduard 1/48th Scale Spitfire Mk.VIII HF.

 

 

SpitfireHF_11.jpg.f61c395697b60f4a9a58acdf51be02c5.jpg

SpitfireHF_25.jpg.a0bd600a65114d753be261bd87bda710.jpg

 

 

My first my heart attack build - went together beautifully, paint work's behaving itself too.

 

Tamiya 1/48th Scale German SPW (Half Track)

 

SPW_11.jpg.65ae3bb864490fdfa60437cfa8c6a320.jpg

 

 

SPW_22.jpg.dc4b7344f2602ba52d3879b74f3e6df4.jpg

 

 

Been a quick build so far, aside from the tracks being too short!

I'll echo that. Good to hear that recovery is going well.

 

I can hardly tell the difference between a tank and one of them flying machines, but I'm always inspired by your finishes. That Marder III M tank for example, the weathering is deliciously subtle.

Superb word! (Just looked it up, apparently it originally means "storm bird".)

Hi Bill and a happy new year to you too, it's been a long hard road back - I still ain't dead ;) 

So my therapy started and mostly left-handed - as that's the side effected, I took my time and built something from Tamiya, a1/48th Scale Crusader Mk.III anti-aircraft tank. so it took me a while (things pinging off onto the workshop floor, takes me ages to find them).
