Now that winter has been here for awhile!is anybody scratchbuilding anything new and exciting?

Check my gallery for picks

Matt

Really want to know? OK, 6 more of these!





Unfortunately, not for fun, well, my fun anyway.

Nothing too serious on my bench. Currently, I am working on Academy's MH-60 Pavehawk, which I may add some scratchbuilt stuff to but maybe not. In the planning stages are a Patriot Missile Battery to be hauled by an Italeri HEMMT to be modified to a tractor version for Heavy Haulers and a 1/72 scale Stryker, which may grow to a 1/35 if no one comes out with a kit within the next 6 months.

Working on a scene with a fast stream being forded by a patrol... three fellas are enjoying a swim while two local woment share the same stream to wash their laundry... three areas of focus... each grouping wiht their own "story" to tell about what they are doing at te river at the same time... the patrol is taking care of business, the swimmers are bath with some monkey business, and the locals are "business as usual" for them.

Nothing at the moment, but I have some idea's for some 35th buildings for a WW2 Dio I want to make sometime in the not to distant future

Hi All,

Was forced to build the cockpit of the HC DO-17. It came out ok and I was happy with the results. Now if I could just get the plane painted we would be good to go!

Working on a M373 Communication trailer and all the equipment including a complete crew. Radios, switchboard, generator tables cabinets etc. Even ash trays and but cans.
You can follow the progress in the Truck A Rama thread and with this link to my gallery https://armorama.kitmaker.net/photos/showgallery.php?cat=14115&ppuser=1742

Bloody hell, that's impressive!
Incredible work !!

Wow Animal thats another one of your very impressive builds. As for me, just finished scratchbuilding part of a boat and submitted it for the Quiet Professionals campaign. Once I'm done with the figures I will start to scratchbuild a little vignette that has a bit of secondary jungle on the edge of a padi field.

Hi,
At an impass at moment having to move bench and tools. Ongoing ----1/25 scale Centurion BARV,1/25 Centurion Recovery MkII. Started them in tandem a while ago but have moved from Bordon in S England toScotland ------still trying to sort out tools and 250 kits. Not long finnished a scratch(ex running gear)of Israeli M51-Trailblazer ,after thinking of it 10yrs ago,(pic in gallery). Must finnish my ANTARs-they are sulking in a box in loft-----think I willset target for them all for SMW -Telford this November--- should get me going. If any-one is doing Accurate Armour's latest Oshkosh have a glim on my site
Got a project on for Fine Scale model magazine if I can get motivated.
More pic to follow when I find them,

Models are made for enjoyment---NOT for rivet counters.

Haha well my scratchbuilding is not much more than making some accesoires for a tank or something like that. I've tried to make a SU76i on a dragon pzkfw III but it turned out like a real disaster and I haven't tried anything since then as I'm affraid I spend a lot of time in it without any results!

So, no more scratchbuilding for me I'm affraid...OOTB OOTB OOTB OOTB OOTB !!! :-)

hello:

your new locomotive is a BR 57 armoured?

your last locomotive was very nice and extensive job with rivets.

where do you take the linedrawings to make the lokos?

i like the german railguns and locomotives

its good to see anothers modellers with locomotives

i hope to see the pics ofyour project

Hi scratchers,
Jumping about at the moment -basking in a bit of self glorification. Just seen the March copy-"Special I ssue" of Fine Scale Modeller(great mag),and found a picture of my scratch built Israeli Trailblazer recovery-taken last year at the Scottish Nationals in Perth .Recognition at last for a scratchy--now that helps to get me going again .
Think I shall go and have a not-so-wee dram , and blow a trumpet or two ........if Idon't who will.
Keep on scratchin..
BARV

Barv,
Congrats on making it into the mag. Now about that Trailblazer. I am thinking about one as my next scratch project when and if I ever finish my BARV. I have a lot of photos of the Trailblazer in a museum, but I have not been able to find any photos in use. I would like to know more about stowage, if you might be able to help. I am about to give up and just plan it as a museum piece. At least the base would be simple, just glue on some model RR gravel.

Jim

Jim,
This beastie was made mainly from photos taken -at its final resting place-which ,like the vehicle, don't exist,never has existed and can't be photoed .
Unfortunately, the CES had been stripped out before it was laid-up-----pics taken same day, about 2yrs ago....BUT..I can try to find out--(need to speak call),to invisible man.
Contact me at home for exchange of info.
BARV
