Nicely done Tim. Out of interest do you have with them or are they just for display purposes?

Hi Andrew
I do game occasionally, Covid permitting! These are being put together to try the “Oathmark” set of rules. I have a WW2 collection that is used for “Chain of command” and a fantasy skirmish set that will be used for “Frostgrave“ very soon. I have dabbled in quite a few periods and games over the years, but as my regular gaming mate doesn’t paint I have to provide both sides and the terrain! The trouble is I sometimes get bored and move on so I’ve a lot of part finished groups! Now I’ve got a room where I can see them all it may spur me on to get other groups up to gaming….

Thanks...... And well done for interpreting my phone's autocorrect error correctly...... It always seems to prefer 'have' to 'game' for unknown reasons.

For the fun of it! 1/100 matilda
Nicely cast..........won't be too much clean up on the parting lines. Who's the Manufacturer......sort of reminds me of the old Lesney Matchbox series. Following with interest.....after all it is "small" scale

Here's the latest on the Borgward B 3000 conversion. Really pleased with the way the louvers came out on the hood side panels and the replacement grill work is pretty convincing as well. Still have that seam line on the bed....even after sanding and repainting, I think the wash has re-enhanced it. Still a ways to go on this........more later. Rick H.

That's amazing, from all appearances it looked to be a die-cast toy! Even after going back and studying the photos again, I see nothing that would lead me to believe it is injection moulded. Have fun with this Mark, I think you can make something worthwhile out of it.........just depends on how much effort you are willing to put into it. Rick H.

I may be wrong, Rick, but I think what we are seeing is Mark's weathering....That's amazing, from all appearances it looked to be a die-cast toy!

brown wash and some rust pigment which I mostly covered up with steel drybrushing lol.

Didn't see that till I looked at these pictures, the half inch brush I used for all the weathering obscured my viewI agree Neil....what threw me was the parting line on the gun mantel and barrel assembly.....a dead ringer for a casting line if I ever saw one.Rick H.

Absolutely nothing on my bench... only a few boxes from the stash where I open them, sift through the parts, smell the plastic, read the manuals and dream of how they would look finished then put them all back in the stash. How many have this terrible affliction besides loss of mojo I wonder.
But not to worry...I call it a recess akin to stopping and smelling the roses. Anyway the bench is full...chock-a-block...nada space to work on so spring cleaning is about to begin.
That's my report from my bench.
Cheers,
Richard
