T34/85 Tank in a village 1/35 Scale

Hi John
Nowt wrong with your dio work. I'm sure this will be as stunning as the others.
Jim

That's very kind of you too say Jim. This painting figures lark is very strange, I keep looking a figure P Diddy sent me and wonder how he achieved it . Keep putting off the faces though !:crying:

Those are great JR......even if some of 'em don't have hair-do's. They could catch a death this time of the year! Never took you for a coat "lifter".....I'll have to watch my personal items from now on. :tongue-out3: Rick H.

Ha , I've glue my coat on with CA Rick .:smiling3:

That's taking social distancing a bit far John.

:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy: Nice one Pete.

Looking great John, love the saw especially.

Thanks Tim, found that lurking in the bottom of the a spares box .

These are great and I'm happy to see he finally washed his fingers. Good job Dude 2 and I really love Karl Marx on the left. We won't mention Bilbo though.................................

Dude 1

Dude have you noticed how many of the figures actually do look like someone . I had a tank commander who looked a ringer for Putin and another who looked like the Duke Of Edinburgh. These's sculptors must have a laugh at times .

love it all so far John! Excellent work going on here.

Jim.

Hi Jim, thanks for looking in , thank you .

Sorry John. I’m a bit late for the party but have finally discovered this! Great work and the usual help and banter from the Rabble! I think I’ve caught up and will try to follow now.

Hello Andy , nice to see you . Thanks.

Keep it clean, no oil on the cuffs.

[Mini Me]

No thanks, you own it now, kooties and all!!! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2: :tongue-out:

[JR]

No thanks, you own it now, kooties and all!!! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2: :tongue-out:

It was mine to start with , complete with " kooties " what ever those are !
Your ungrateful as I was willing to share it :smiling3:

[Mini Me]

Naw.........I'm not ungrateful, just don't want yer kooties, that's all!


P.S. kooties= slang: bugs, lice, vermin etc.

Coming on nicely John. I'm sure they'll turn out fine in the end!

We are our own worst critics!

John, those figures are looking the biz! They are getting better every time.
Don't compare yourself with P Diddy, though, that way madness lies:tongue-out3:
He must have made a pact with the devil or something.

[Tim Marlow]

Naw.........I'm not ungrateful, just don't want yer kooties, that's all!


P.S. kooties= slang: bugs, lice, vermin etc.

I always wondered what that meant as well? Thanks Rick :thumb2:

Looking good, will continue to pop in when I can.
Saw is brilliant, never seen one in scale before (used one or two though!)

Dear Mr. Race. (Member no. 453)

I am Chairman and founder member of the 'Saw Sharpening and Setting Association' (S.A.S.A.S.A.)

I refer you to your recently published photograph of a 'Pull me, pull me saw' resting on what look like octopus tentacles.
If you wish to show images like that again, please ensure the saw shows at least some effort by the operative to set the teeth of the implement before use.

This total disregard to the skill required to sharpen and set a saw does nothing but harm to our cause.

Please refrain from any further infringement of our Code of Honour.

Yours.
May Kit Nobynde

Secretary.

Cootie was a figure game like 'Mr. Potato Head' only w/insect parts. From there Kooties were imagined insects young boys got from touching young girls and then more objectionable derivations were observed in use in southern US.

There you have it............Bugs and yes, the female gender did have a certain impact on the transmisability of said Kooties. one of my first game toys as a child, I think it colored my whole life.

John, the build is coming along nicely.. although I think I’ve gotten a bit distracted with all of the woodchucking and now I think I’ve gotten cooties from touching the wife… all I know is that the saw looks awesome and the building is a masterpiece up to your fantastic level of standards
