        There's a hulking great Warhammer tank on my bench at the moment!

        For my lad. He normally primes his own stuff but with this being so big (1/35 figure for reference) he asked me to do it. Might as well use dads products than buy his own :smiling5:

        Apparently it's one kit that can be built up into 8 different versions. He's magnetised lots of it so that he can swap between version by flipping or moving panels and adding different sponson or weapons.

        There's some more bits to prime yet but I'll try and blag a picture once it's all painted.

        Mr Surfacer 1500 by the way.

        There's also a few minis in the background that I've started on tonight. I'm not sure about you other guys that swap between both but jumping from an armour build to a 28mm miniature takes some readjusting for me just yet!

          That’s a big ‘un isn’t it……but then Warhammer is closer to 1/48th that it is to 28mm. Know what you mean about the readjustment, always takes a little while to get my eye in….

            That tank is HUGE......just jumping from an Opel Blitz truck to the Junky JU52 I just finished was a giant step in scale! Never mind going into a larger scale.....for me it would be Traumatic!! :tongue-out3: Probably need Matron to put me right....

                So this is currently on the bench and I think I'll start a build thread on this little beauty. This is the cleanest cast resin kit I have ever seen in 1-87 scale. Wall thickness is very thin for the scale and the surfaces ae so smooth I thought it was a styrene kit when I first opened it. Tip 'O the Hat to WSW (Wings Ships Wheels) for their extremely precise workmanship!Click image for larger version

                  I've had good experience w/this 1/87 scale maker, 15cm Nebelwerfers, 7.5cm IGs, 5cm PAK, & sdkfz10 halftracks.

                    This is the only experience I've had with them Paul but I am not surprised that you have had the good fortune of enjoying the quality of their kits as it seems to be the norm.....it appears that their quality is consistent throughout their line of products. I will be looking at their entire line of kits to see if there is anything else that might work in my line of interest. :thumb2:
