What did you do in your modeling workshop today?

Thanks Watto @flatfour my back is feeling much better today. Spent the weekend breaking down boxes and loading them in the recycling. I don’t remember buying all that stuff! Yes, PE seems to return from the ether the day after you finish the kit!

Did some work on the Hanomag **-100
A wash and some drybrush.
It’s going to tow a sd.ah 115 with a Biber dwarf sub.
Had some airbrush troubles this summer with the heath, that’s why it was on the shelf :grin:

I recycled with an old T72 dragon that I assembled a very long time ago at the time it was the only one available I used surplus parts from other kits to make a Frankenstein version for fun I was inspired by a photo of a Ukrainian T72 seen on the forum

Today I finished modifying 2 O-Gauge Weaver 50 ft flat cars by adding 3 inches from another one so I have a 62 ft flat car for my M992’s or Stryker or M88’s to sit on (chained to). Still have to plug some gaps, spray paint it olive drab and add DODX decals I had made some time ago. I am in the process of mounting 54 3D printed modern armor after painting the vechicles and chaining them down to the flat cars. I have 5 or 6 flat cars ready. Need to do at least 14 more 62 ft flats. Some items will go on 50 ft flat cars (M548, MRAP’s, M113’s, M578’s and LAV25’s etc. It will probably take me well into 2024 and maybe 2025 to get it done. Oh I still have 5 Tamiya 1/48 scale M1A1 Abrams to build/paint and they will go on the DODX 62 ft flat cars from Atlas O-Gauge I have.

Today, I lost a piece of PE after it fired out of my tweezers, took absolutely everything off my bench, gave up and started to put everything back, not until the last item was back in place, did I spot the PE stuck with the superglue I was using, to the wall at the back of the bench. Oh I did laugh… :dizzy_face::flushed::worried:

I also like that round piece of sprue being used !!

Yes people often forget the sprue itself as a source of ‘greeblies’ to use to fill space. I used sprue and the little extensions used to push parts out of the mould to fill space in my X-Wing stand:

And why I always got so many womens underwear advertisements? :thinking: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I deliberately view YouTube videos showing recovery trucks, machinery (lathes and stuff) to trick Google that I am more interested in such advertisements. If I don’t the advertising will revert to underwear (simple algorithm: visitor to a site with a “male” hobby → show underwear ads)

Today I am getting mens shoes for some reason …

Edit: …and flashlights …

I’d like to know why PE was used in aircraft and AFVs anyway…? It has no strength and is nearly always shiny… :laughing::smile::joy::wink:
If I were building vehicles to do that job, I’d want more protection than that around me…:grin:

I have been home on my own for a few months. So the algorithms are no longer getting fed browsing for cycling clothes, bicycle parts and other wife related searches. It is amazing how the ads for me have changed:
