Thanks Steve & Jim.

Yes, they are only included for where they'll be seen on the kneeling figures, but a nice extra touch.

Thanks Pete and John.

I'll try my best not to rush, but the 2 new kits that arrived yesterday are already calling me to start them.

I don't know how those of you with a stash can resist the temptation to start everything!

Fear Andy. Sometimes I pick one up, look inside and put the lid back quickly when I see the instructions.

The fact I in use the kitchen table and knowing that my wife, as patient as she is with my new found enthusiasm for the hobby, HAS to pass it EVERY time she goes between lounge and kitchen..... Oh and she uses the to table when working from home....I think you get the picture......

That's the main reason for me staying out in the shed Andrew, at least she can't nag me about the mess I make out there :smiling5:

I'm fast approaching the trickiest part of any build for me, knowing most of the elements need a little something else before I can class them as "finished", but not being able to work out what that is!

Hence me having so many almost completed builds. I tend to move on to something else while I try and figure it out, but never end up going back.

I might have to build another shed just to store my WIP :smiling5:

Now it’s certain: you have become a fully qualified modeller. Your certificate will be in the mail on Monday.

Morn Scratchy,

Yes Sir, welcome to the club!!! We should name it "WIP" and I'm sure we have hundreds of qualified members here who would join....

Those figures are looking mighty fine Andy and this will be awesome when you're finished!!! Now, what kind of cake are you making in the pics above??? Don't think the wife will want that in the oven...............

Prost

Cheers Allen. I'm not sure it'll ever be finished finished, but looking forward to getting everything laid out on the base.

Oh, and that's no cake. It's my "special" brownie mix, for when the anxiety levels get too high.... :smiling5:

[Guest]

Not much of an update as I've been dragged around B&Q to gather DIY materials in preparation for lockdown.2, then spent the afternoon in front of the telly waiting for Boris to tell us what we already knew!

But the base is ready. It got a sprinkling of various fine gravels, I picked out the larger bits, then compacted the rest down as best I could. I'd have preferred a more sandy look, but I only have the red builders stuff, so this will have to do.

The frame also got painted in a suitably dark sandy colour, mixed from various acrylics.

I'd have liked to add some height with a derelict building or similar tucked into one corner, but since I could never hope to match the creations of the likes of Ron, JR and others, I'll give it a miss. Something to work on for the future :smiling3:

[Guest]

I'd not been looking forward to this bit, but after a couple of attempts the radio is wired up. I just need to get some paint on the cable and touch up the blobs of CA.
