I must have been nuts!!! Labor intensive cleanup, soup sandwich destructions, but a lot of fun just the same. Each panel has 29 parts in it. 4 panels per sprue, times 3 sprues.....Then another 6 panels with 27 parts each on top of that. Gotta love it..............

Is that the Bronco kit? Then I’m glad I had other reasons already for not building this in 1:35 scale:—

(I counted the number of panels in that photo and in a Bronco Bailey bridge kit, then decided I did not want to spend €350 on a model.)

Alan, very convincing......I think you are on to something useful. Rick H.

[AlanG]

Yeah it seems to be working Rick. I am going to go out and get some more lichen and then preserve it. Just ordered some different shades of scatter to have a play with

I'm currently working on some different shades for ground cover also.....I think it is a little more realistic and less monochromatic. Wish I could use natural lichen but will have to do with "Store bought" stuff till I find a source. Rick H.

A bit of a 2 in 1.

Next up on the bench is another tanky thing. I only opened the box to have a look and the multi-part hull just fell together before I knew what was happening.

Plus I've hacked up some old laminate flooring to make a shelfy thing. It's cleared loads of junk from the bench and put some things like palettes and my most used brushes within easy reach. Still only temporary, but a big improvement.

Hi Jakko.

It is the Bronco kit and you would only need 2 of them to do this project. Each kit supplies 18 panels and you would need 32 for it. Both of my kits had a total cost of about € 41,50 from evilbay. If you have an extra Sherman or 2, it would be a breeze to build this. You would just need time and a whole lotta patience. Go for it!!!

Odd. Why did I reach the conclusion I needed about six sets, then? I must have miscalculated somewhere … That suddenly makes it seem viable

Oh yea Rick, You mean Massokits!!!......I got at least 300 in the stash.....And??? LMAO!!!........

Back on topic (before we get yelled at), this is what I had on the table before I had to take a break and rest my eyes,


I need 20 of these for the latch mounts on the trailer. 8 will have a single latch and the other 12, a double latch mounted on them. I need to sort 20 of them, all the same size. eye strain pure, even with the optivisor!!!.....
