G'day Mad Ewok

I'll be doing some soon, to get an idea of the content look at these 1/6th versions.

G'day All Well she's just about ready to enter the paint shop, I estimate that I'll have to aply a good 3 to 4 spray can coats on the custom areas to seal them up. Unfortunately the mixed medias of die-cast, plastic, filler and super-glue tend not bond really all that well, hence the initial use of ...

G'day Momaw The art work for a Rudel tank busting crate should not be that difficult to do as it would have to be one of the most profiled birds out there, Yet having said that this can also present a problem in that many differ in subtle ways but luckily mainly in the paint schemes. The model conve...

G'day Rob / Ski

Ok, ok you've twisted my arm I'll take some shots tonight or over the weekend (it's Friday morning here in Oz) and post them here.

G'day All Thanks for your comments, I hope to get off to the hobby shop this weekend to do a re-supply on Paint for the Ju87B, Fw190D's and for the Winter Tiger that I've just started to work on. For the Tiger I Initially only intended to remove some glue smears and touch up the paint appropriately ...

G'day tmanthegreat Unlike UK types the joystick on German single engine fighters use the pistol grip variety of joystick head. I pulled my joystick out to separate to two parts and it's definitely the loop antenna just looks like someone on the production line forgot to separate the two items for th...

If you are missing the belly antenna on your chevron 190 take a look at the top of the joystick hand grip, as these items are sprued together as a common piece, mine was still attached to the joystick, it was not so hard getting the joystick out but was a bit of a bugger getting it back in. The cano...

G'day Teamski I used a 1200 fine grade wet & dry paper (I think it's called grit paper in the US) to remove the incorrectly matched and positioned units codes, unit shields and fuselage crosses, the same was used to the PC tail crosses. The weathering 21stCT did on my bird consisted of some heavy ha...

G'day All Been working hard putting my own set of custom Stuka decals on my bird. So here are some WIP shots, most the decals and paint is yet to be properly sealed with an appropriate matt coat, also the indoor direct flash photography tends to show up the short commings of my very rusty modelling ...

G'day Flayrah Requests to John for custom decal sheet designs are usually my department these days, however I do think he has a slightly different pricing policy for customs jobs. My main requirements to do custom designs are relatively clear & sharp reference material, appropriate dimensions and ti...

G'day All Thankyou for your comments and support. The decals are originally printed on a full 8.5"x 11 water slide sheet, that is then in the case of the 1/18th sets cut into half or 1/6th sheets, however the decals themselves have to be trimmed from the sheets, as we are yet to get the technology t...

G'day All Let me say from the start that this is a shameless plug for a decal product that I’ve been working towards for some time. I have been designing 1/6th scale (305mm) decals sets for John Ivory’s custom accessory site, John’s Stuff, many of the early files were created with MS PowerPoint (at ...

Maybe their could be a hint as to the Die-cast or not issue within the HTML filename for the Sherman page "usm4shmeta1b.html".

But I'm probably drawing a bit of a long bow on this one, seeing that there is nothing simular in the filenames of the other 2 tanks, so I’m probably horribly wrong

G'day and thanks for the new home.....
