I am sure Hannants has the right shade of tartan paint for those.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thats a curious one. The guys in the back ground have similar socks and the top of the socks of the guy on the bike is also the darker colour. Can't quite zoom in close enough to see whats going on there. I'm still thinking they might be the gaiters.
Very nicely done Model Guy. Thanks for posting that, front page is updated.
Real, relaly nice work putting those together. I like the idea of the working bolt and detachable mag, but can see why your going to glue them.
ModelGuy: The Sherman looks great! I left some more comments on your post on the armour section of the forum.
Real G & Greysnake: Those look great guys! Good work!

Cabin and seats were assembled and painted light green.
Exhaust tube & damper were also painted with a rusty mix.
WIP on my second LRDG truck. Going with a Caunter scheme on this one, using the Vallejo Caunter Scheme set; base color laid down is a light Portland Stone. Here's what I've got so far:
Zvezda & AA: Those are coming along great guys!!
Awesome work everyone. What great builds and what a great GB!
Well, I know she has some flaws, but overall I think she turned out very nice! Thanks again to Bish and Stik for the help with the commander.
I didn't dirty her up too much. Figured she be more dusty then caked on dirt. Also, tried more "scratches" on the armor. And after taking the pics, I thought I should do some sort of cord for the mic.
It was a fun kit and I got some good practice with figures on this one. Thanks again Bish for a rockin GB! Enjoy.
That's a beautiful Grant! Proof of how you can make these older vintage Tamiya kits look great even today!!
I'm still moving along with the PIAT. I had noticed early on that the rounds did not seat all the way into the launcher. Maybe it's the scale factor with plastic wall thicknesses and such, maybe a dimension is just off. Anyway, after mulling the problem and going through needlessly complicated fixes, I just shortened the stem of one round. Since three rounds are provided, the remaining two can be displayed alongside the launcher.
As an aside, I rediscovered a tall bottle of Aeromaster grey primer in my drawer, and found the stuff better than my home brew filler. It goes on smooth, dries terribly fast, and sands out better. I stopped using it for an airbrush primer years ago because it produced a dead flat finish which consumed copious amounts of gloss to prep for decaling. But as a fine seam filler it is excellent.

Thank you sir. LOL! Yeah, she showed her age, but still...a wonderful Tamiya kit. You know there will be a Lee next to it at some point. LOL!
Nicely done there Bobby, next thing you will doing a diorama. I'll get the front page updated at the weekend.
Ohhh looks good Real G, like where you're going with this.
Excellent Grant, Bobby!

I'm not familiar with the PIAT Neal. Was/is that an anti-tank device like the Panzerfaust?

Thank you sir! And thank you for hosting an awesome GB! Can't wait for the next one!!
Mopar Madness Excellent Grant, Bobby!
Thank you sir. It was a fun build for sure.
Mopar Madness I'm not familiar with the PIAT Neal. Was/is that an anti-tank device like the Panzerfaust?
Yes and no. Yes in that it launched a hollow charge projectile for use against armored vehicles. No in that there was no rocket on the projectile like on the panzerfaust or bazooka. Rather it was a spigot mortar type weapon with a firing spring in the launcher and a small charge inside the round. No launch backblast like on the aforementioned bazooka or panzerfaust, but it did have quite a recoil kick for the gunner.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

But the penetrating power was inferior to other anti-tank rocket weapons, and the low velocity meant short range and poor accuracy. I like to joke PIAT stood for Pretty Ineffective Army Toy (vice the actual Projector, Infantry, Anti-Tank).
Ugly little seams are being sanded out and small parts are being glued on. Ditto for the Enfield rifle. Will post pics when they get a coat of primer.
Actually the penetration was pretty good from the PIAT bomb. It was superior to that of the WWII bazooka, and most panzerfausts. Accuracy on the other hand...
Hollow charge warheads rely upon their design shape, both diameter of charge and stand off distance for formation, for their penetration power. The projectiles velocity is not a factor. The angle at which it strikes the armor, and the fuse reliability are critical though.
Real, nice fix there and thats looking good.
Eagle, excellent build and painting. I like the dusty look.
Small update on the small truck.
Cabin was assembled with some effort.
Tricky part was the fabrication of the windshield and windows from clear plastic. Once made and glued in place, they were masked with thinned Masking liquid from Gunze.
WIP update: the camo scheme is done! Used a Caunter scheme combo of Portland Stone (BSC64), Silver Grey (BSC28), and Dark Green (BSC34).
Those are coming on nicely there guys. Good work on those gaps grey snake. AA, i am liking that scheme.
Zvezda, coming on well. I have had to do that with windscreens on a few 72nd kits.
Are you able to reduce the size of your images before you lad them. Not sure about other people, but for me they take ages to load. I have noticed your are around 4000px and was woundering if you could use imgur to make them smaller.
Very nice variety of modelling happening. I've being adding to and painting the Scammell. Next will make a start on the cab and flat bed. Progress so far.
