Hey Fellas,
It's been a while since I had a chance to post any pics. The last few months, I've mostly lurked, and had to choose between building or posting pics of my builds. It's been a pretty hectic year and a half. Then, I got into a bit of a rut, so decided I needed to pull myself out of it. In December, between Christmas and New Years, I did just that. I'd wanted to re-organize my model room for a while - partly to use the space better, but mostly so my son and I could build together (in the old layout, he was across the room and my bench was in between. So, I started here:
And wound up here:
Then I decided to tackle some builds that were on the cusp of completion, staring with the 38(t)G from the group build from... a year plus ago. The build was done, but I decided to put together a base and work on the weathering a bit. Sadly, I didn't take a ton of pics of the in between steps, but this is where I was and where I am now....
(In this pic, I popped the engine hatch off because I want it open... gotta goop up the engine some more)
I love my boys to have some comms...
And a frustrated mechanic to round things out...(he's still in the "paint shop"....)
And then the base:
Something I picked up at.... Armorcon?? a couple years ago:
I added the posts and the barbed wire, plus the groundwork:
And, perhaps even more importantly, I've been able to spend time down at the bench with my son. He's come a long way, and just finished (all by himself - at 8 years old), the 1/48 Tamiya British Light Utility Car 10HP.
Good times...good times!
