Both banks wired up! That was NOT easy and I did mess up the distributors a little but I think the overall effect is worth it. Thinking about doing some fabrication to add some of the fuel and oil lines next #histscalemodels #italiaGB #lamborghini #carmodels

Finally finished the post on my latest Essex-class build. - this time a more or less straight out of the box build other than decals. Okay, and radar jamming equipment. And accurized Skyraiders. But that's it. putteringinthestudy.com/2026/10/03/u... #HistScaleModels

Fiat Abarth finished for #ItaliaGB. A nice little kit from Tamiya, I did it as a stablemate for the Castrol Mini. As usual there are some things I could have done better, anyway here she is.

Sunny day at Donington! The Legends racing is particularly interesting today - tiny hotrods with which sound like motorbike engines that do a bunch of bump-drafting down the straights.

A little late to the party as I've been so busy busy but this is gonna be my (first?) build for #ItaliaGB . Hoping to have some more free weekends imminently as I'm getting to the end of the audio project I've been working on and the race season is finishing soon! #histscalemodels

#HistScaleModels #FinishedModels #ScaleModels Mig-29 finished. Really pleased how it turned out. The effort with aftermarket decals was well worth, since I couldnt find any kit that had slovak air force markings included and i really wanted to have kit of these beauties who guarded our skies 🇸🇰

Not one of my models but look at how cool this model of HMS Bluebell at the western approaches museum in Liverpool is! Ngl even though I mostly go for cold war bunkers/museums, the whole of western approaches was very interesting. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

The Ukrainian flanker is done 🙌 my 2nd flanker from GWH, it remains a great kit to work with. I added harm missiles which this scheme never had but wanted to do it anyway. Bonus su-24 with a mig-29 and su-25 to complete set waiting in the stash. #histscalemodels #finishedkits

I've had to park the DC-10 for a bit as something went weeeird when I removed the masking tape from the gloss (maybe didn't quite cure enough???). Hoping another layer of gloss will fix it when the other bits I've done cure properly 😬

Final weathering pass on the Airfix Spitfire, this time focusing on oils. The underside is considerably more grubby now, and the upper surfaces have had some selective dot filtering. I also fixed the wonky prop, which looks marginally better, but still a little goofy. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

Proof I really did work on the house last weekend! In hindsight I should have made the corner in front a slope and not a hill oh well This is also my first try for a not black base, wonder if I can keep this clean until the end ( the front actually already has glue stains 🙃

Spent the day marshalling yesterday! Involved being a suitable distance away from the truck racing (tire walls, catch fences, and concrete barrier will not stop them if they crash). #motorsport #marshalling #cars #racing #trucks

777 update. First attempt with VMS gloss varnish. Once I get the hang of it, I think it’s going to be good. Got a few runs so I see wet sanding in my future. How long should I wait? How long before using an oil or enamel wash? @dr-robonator.bsky.social the first pint is on me! #scalemodels

今日の模型作業。1週間クリアの乾燥させてたアオシマのRSマッハビート、ボディの研ぎ出しと外装細部塗装。神ヤス4000〜8000番で水研ぎして僅かな柚子肌を均してホルツコンパウンド細目→タミヤ細目→ハセガワセラミックコンパウンドで磨き込み。その後、窓枠やライトリフレクターなど細部塗装して、ランプ類やワイパーなど外装部品を塗って組み込み、最後にナンバーを付けてとりあえずの完成!例によって一晩置いて再チェックした上でちゃんと撮影します。 #2mabc

Rode the struggle bus for quite a few stops getting these decals to settle down, but we did it. Also had a moment of panic when I realized that Marina lacked the driver's splash guard. Some emergency surgery squared it away, it I'm still kicking myself for not noticing it earlier. #histscalemodels

Started adding some colour variation to the silver on the DC-10... I'm kinda 50/50 on whether the dark aluminium is too exaggerated but I have another one or two silvers to put on so hopefully it'll come together. #scalemodels #histscalemodels
