Good evening all. I'm having great fun with the lancia, for an italeri kit it has been going together well. The engine is now installed, just the front suspension to go then onto the bodywork.

Evening all. That's the interior finished, onto the underneath next. I'm going to do the seatbelts before the roll cafe goes on, just a damn sight easier.
WIP on the lancia and the interior is slowly coming together, still a little bit to do before moving to the exterior. The seat belts will be fun 😬
I think I've found a nice paint for the aluminium, sprays really nice.
I've parked the williams FW07 in the garage for the time being. I need to finish the mclarens but I've bitten the bullet and driven the lancia delta onto the bench but discovered that I need a bigger bench 🤣🤣
Despite the heat the williams FW07 is coming along. First time spraying aluminium which turned out ok. I had a decals sheet turn up from China, fingers crossed they'll go down without too much trouble.
After not buying any kits at the show on Sunday I have caved and bought this kit off evilbay.
Well, that's the williams fw07 engine pretty much done, just need to tidy up the exhausts once the glue has hardened. The 'good year' on the tyres is painted on, so that will be fun to do.
Before I break something else off or leave more fingerprints in the still hardening gloss, I'm calling the Tamiya Ferrari F189 done, finally. A nice kit with a nice amount of detail throughout.
Whilst waiting for the Ferrari F189 gloss to harden I've started the williams FW07, yet another tamiya kit from 1980 with no issues.
Afternoon all. I've finally smoothed the finish and lost the edges of the thick tamiya decals. Just need to let it harden off then I can finish it ready for the club show next Sunday 🤞
A nice afternoon listening to jammy spurs avoiding relegation again. On the plus side I've got the decals down on one of the mp4/4s. This has got to be one of the most iconic liveries in F1. Still have the rear wing and other bits to do but couldn't resist decalling.
Afternoon all, despite the heat I have managed to get the main bodywork sprayed, a bit of touching up needed on one but other than that all good
Evening all. The mclaren mp4/4s are coming along slowly. Wheels on tonight, just the seats to then onto the fun part.
Snagged myself a decent bargain on evilbay last night. Another kit from my teen model making past that I'll hopefully do a better job on.
I'm going back into car building and these mclaren MP4/4s are first to be finished before a fresh kit rolls onto the bench.
Calling the tamiya 1/48 jagdtiger done for now, nice factory fresh finish. It might get weathered at some point.
Remembering the late, great Eric Morecambe, who was born 100 Years ago today.
Calling the camo scheme done on the jagdtiger, might have gone a bit mad with the dots but am I bothered lol. Decals and tools to do then it's pretty much done.
Evening all, another figure finished. This is afro samurai and i definitely wouldn't mess with him.
Evening all. The witches are taking another breather 😂 I've got the afro samurai underway now. I've decided to go 'kill bill' with the trousers due to the stripes. So far so good on this enjoyable figure.
Evening all. I'm back on the 3 witches on a broom vignette. Nearly finished the back witches and the cat hanging on for dear life.
Another bust finished and off the bench. Gimli's angry cousin and his little peacemaker.
Calling the Japanese sword lady done now. Another enjoyable bust to do with a few lessons learnt.
Well, that was a fun evenings painting with some pleasing results.
Another bust on the bench as military is taking a backseat at the moment. A few different textures again and still a challenge ahead with this one
Evening all, Calling this lovely lady done now. It has been a nice bust to do with various different textures, metal, feathers, skin and dragon.
I've been winging it the last few days and it has been a fun bust so far.
