Just For Fun ScaleModels

[image] About a decade ago, I commissioned @BoweModels to build this lovely Classic Airframes beast for my dad's birthday. This is what inspired me to start building again. Never thought it needed any modifications but dad's cat disagreed and made it a cabriolet version. With ten years

[image] Realised I hadn’t posted the finished Beaufort - so here it is!

[image] Wheels are on! A bit of tidying up needed but nearly there now. 😀 #JFFCancerResearch

[image] #JustForFunScaleModels …..the two StuGs in my life…. my recently finished StuG III B. (Tamiya), along with my Cherkassy Pocket Winter StuG G., (Takom Blitz) that I completed a while ago. The crews had a thing for bicycles 😀😀

[image] Finished, part 2. Eduard 1/48 Kittyhawk. Airbrushed with Tamiya XFs, weathered with oils and watercolour pencils. Excellent kit, a joy to build!🤗

[image] Great Wall Hobby 1:48 Fw-189 A-1 "Nacht jäger" finished up

[image] #JFFLetterB #JustForFunScaleModels Panther is finished! Just had its coat of varnish and finished off the two figures. Still feel that I struggle with camouflage, particularly the colours, but I’m delighted with this one. It will be off to its new owner next week 😃

[image] #JFFLetterB #JustForFunScaleModels Finished the bad boy crew for the StuG B! What a great set from Master box, fantastic poses. Really happy with it now. 😀😀

[image] The Tamiya Skyraider is finally done! No way this should have taken two months, but I made a ton of (thankfully correctable) mistakes along the way. Great kit, very buildable, the issues were all mine #JFFCancerResearch

[image] #JustForFunScaleModels On this last day of the community, I’d like to say thank you to @Rheumatoidman for this forum, to the moderators, and to everyone else who has shared their builds and knowledge here. 👏

[image] Stumps. Calling this Hampden done. Just too much to break. ICM 1/48 Hampden The Good. First off, the ICM customer service was fantastic when I broke a clear part, because I bought it through Hannants they replaced it. Second it's a Hampden. Third the fit is generally good

[image] #JFFLetterB #JustForFunScaleModels 🧵1/2 Finished! 1/35 Tamiya Stug III B. Loved every minute of this one. Great kit, went together a treat. Might change the colour of the tarp at some point,but I’m happy with it. I’ll finish up the figures this next week, & post some pics.😀

[image] #JFFLetterB #JustForFunScaleModels Good progress on the Tamiya Panther D. Grab handles on as well as cables. A bit of chipping and dirt/grime on the rear deck. Got the camo matched up nicely with the side armour/skirts. A few more touches up and a couple of figures to do yet. 😀

[image] 1/35 Takom Hetzer Photo Shoot. An enjoyable kit. First attempt at hand painting a late war hard-edged camo scheme. The figure is from Hobby Boss and features my first attempt at painting an Oak Leaf camouflage scheme. A photo 🧵. Enjoy. #JustForFunScaleModels

[image] Rigging done. Close to the finish line now. Eduard 1/48 Kittyhawk Mk I.

[text] If I was ever going to do a PhD, I would want to do a study on Japanese scale modellers. From what I've seen on here, they always take it to the next level of detail, and go about it in such a peculiar way, often painting and decaling entire sections before attaching to the

[video] Here we have it folks, the final mega montage for #JFFCancerResearch! A bit of a somber one this what with all the nonsense going on with twitter but JFF will live on 💪 As always there are some absolutely inspiring pieces of work here so congrats to all and keep building! 🫡❤️

[image] Here is my attempt at De Havilland Mosquito Mk.IV in 1/72 scale from Tamiya. It was pleasure to build and to paint. Tried to do masking with tape and not with drawing gum, and it turned out nicely. The landing gear assembly was bit fiddly and clumsily designed but it holds firm

[image] #JFFLetterB #JustForFunScaleModels Finished this latest set of baddies now. Still struggling with the complex patterns of the camo, even with the guides I’m using, but they’ve come out well I think. Might add rifle straps at some point. 😀
