Thanks Nathan, and yes must have been a one off as the Ki-84 set is fine. The replacement Raiden masks have now arrived as well. 👍
Welcome aboard Sebastian. 🙂

Thanks mate 🙂
I started it with some very light airbrushing, but then reverted to dry brushing (over several layers) with an ordinary paint brush using vertical strokes which gave the desired streaks, and finally finished off with some white Tamiya weathering pastel where I wanted more intense/thicker white coverage etc.
I was trying to make it look like it had been hastily applied with a broom in the field which I believe was a fairly common method of application etc.
Paint used was AK washable white acrylic.

Yet another beautiful build! Thank you for the background info as well, it's funny how people tend to use machines in other ways than originally intended! With the proliferation of drone warfare in Ukraine, I will imagine SPAAGS are going to be back in fashion as a cost-effective weapons platform.

It's Xmas day here in NZ, so just wanted to take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy & Safe Xmas and all the very best for 2024!
I received a fair number of awesome new (plastic) kits to build in both 1/48 WW2 aircraft and 1/35 scale armor (including an AFV Club Achilles MkIIc which doesn't appear to have been added to the kit timeline yet) so will have to see what the new year brings 😉👍

My latest build fresh off the workbench.
This time a blast from the past from the US prohibition era of gangsters... The Thompson Submachine Gun.
Easily the best designed of these wooden builds so far, making it a very enjoyable experience.
Smooth firing action as well once completed with the entire clip of 12 shots expended in under 2 seconds flat!
This one doesn't fire projectiles, but rubber bands instead and in addition... ejects wooden rods to represent expended bullet casings.
Quite an ingenious design.

I finished another wooden build this morning with the replica 3/4 scale M4.
This one had over 490 parts with 92 assembly stages making it the most intricate that I've done so far, but still a very enjoyable build.

James, isn't it always the way. ! I am sure that like you, I have spent more on my display cases than I have on models. ! But that is about to change.
Helicopters with removable blades. !! 🙂 👍

Fortunately the majority of my kits have been given to me by family members for assorted birthday and Xmas gifts over the years, but yeah the cases are not cheap either!
While the display cases do a good job of keeping the dust at bay, my one issue with them is that I regret purchasing cases with hinged doors.
If I were to give one piece of advice for anyone considering getting display cases, it would be to get some with sliding glass doors so as to minimize the gaps through which the dust can enter! 😉

Depends on the kit and how much free time I have. For tanks I generally complete assembly inside of 3 days, but filling, painting, decals and weathering will take several weeks or more doing a little at a time. So, approx. a month for a tank build, but probably twice as long for modern aircraft due to the extra time required for filling the joins and clean-up etc.

Interesting, I would have thought it would be the other way around - with armor taking more time than aircraft due to the weathering effects! Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing more of these beauties in the future. 😀

Thanks guys 🙂
Not been around much of late due to having recently moved house. Other than the Canberra which is a bit of a right-off with a total nose gear collapse, everything survived the move intact with only a couple of very minor breakages. Have not setup a new modelling area yet, but hopefully wont be too far away and will be back in business. 🙂

So good, wow! I hear you about "restoring modeling mojo" > Fully agree. I had this experience recently building Tamiya's Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) and it inspired me; just gluing it all together. So fun to build, fit is excellent and leaves room to really get after good weathering/time on realistic modelling.

Thanks guys 🙂
I hadn't realized until after I took the pics and uploaded them that I had snapped the rail somehow in pic 23.
I have since repaired this, and should probably re-do the finished pics as well as the current pics are not the best.
@ Nathan - I cheated on the camo scheme a little as the instructions indicated to apply a thin black demarcation line between the brown, green and sky colours on the turret. But with my hand/eye coordination being what it is I decided not to tempt fate in trying to apply it.
