allardjd 1,853 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Very cool stuff, Alan. Thanks for sharing... John Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Looks like your hand seems to be coming along just fine. Starting in the beginning pic's I said to myself, wow he's pretty good at this model making stuff. Great looking craftsmanship. Then I saw your whole collection and was blown away. Pretty impressive. It's a great hobby. I used to make them back when I was a young'in but blew them all up in one funtastic war reenactment with my brother. Mom was really mad because the neighbors called the police and Dad was furious because the lawn mower was shooting out shards of plastic for a year. Link to post Share on other sites
Quickmarch 488 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 WOW! That's quite a collection of tracked vehicles. If the workmanship on the rocket is any example, it looks as though you are well on the way to recovery. Good luck with the hand. Cheers, March Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks guys, the small ones in the cases are part of a still growing magazine collection and come ready made,(although a few of them have been tinkered with since they arrived), there are supposed to be 120 in all so a few more to go yet. The ones I'm building are the bigger ones. These are the first I've done in over a year as up until now I've found it very difficult to manipulate small parts. I've had to adapt certain things to be able to do it. I've a lot more in the pipeline and am about to start a Panzer IV. I'll post some pics when it's finished. I thought it was about time that all my armour came out on show, I've a few 1/48 scale ones elsewhere in the house. I cannot get all the aircraft out however as there are over 2'000 of them! (Joe's seen a few of them!) Most of those are in boxes full of polychips in the spare room. I maybe disposing of some of them in the near future as it's getting a tad overcrowded in there! As well as aircraft there are hundreds of cars, a large number of warships, most of the ships from Star Trek and it's offsprings as well as other sci-fi ships. If we ever have to move house it would be a logistical nightmare!...oh and I nearly forgot, a 2 foot high T-Rex ! Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Cool stuff Al, I used to build german tanks many years ago, mainly Tamiya and Italeri. Sometimes I think I should start again with this hobby. Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Caveman 0 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Awesome Alan, I think I might invest in airfix shares as it sounds like shares are going to rocket! (Pun intended lol) well done I would love to see more. I once had the enterprise with fibre optic lights that was a pain in the a*se to build but looked good in the dark!
