Hi, I also use Blogspot. Great layouts, easy to customise etc. Statcounter and Feedjit are great 'appliances' to add. Chas

Hi guys, Just reminding you of my service. If you need an engraving for you model base, there is no better time to order than now. Chas

G'day Jamie, I'm not in marketing, just trying to draw attention to this issue with an interesting title. To answer your question, yes, the plates are manufactured here in Western Australia. I agree, we need to support our own businesses at this time. Thanks for your interest. Although this...

G'day, Some of us may have heard of the modeller Scott Girvan, otherwise known as "scaleModelAddict". Over the past two months, Scott has been producing his own YouTube modelling show (http://www.youtube.com/user/scaleModelAddict), a very entertaining one at that. Behind the plastic...

G'day all, Kitmaker's Newsdesk Managing Editor, Jim Rae, the has met with the Master Box Ltd. team in Nuremburg. Unfortunately, the decision to produce an Aussie infantry kit has not yet been decided, as the work involved with their new vehicle and figure kits is (understandably) enormous...

Fantastic. The sweat patches turned out quite well. Don't forget the wood grain on the Bren stock! Chas

Tony, This has got to be one of the most 'true to life' dirt/mud effects I have ever seen applied to a miniature figure. Good job mate, I'm looking forward to seeing some sweat patches. Sorry for answering a question for you but I remember reading it was the East-Timorese who were most...

G'day Jamie. Best of luck for your PTO sculpting, do you have a certain subject or nationality in mind? If it is Aussie or Japanese, let me know if you need reference as I have been spending WAY too much time researching these areas! Judging by your previous work, it looks as if you have the...

Ooooh I'm so jealous!! Oh well, maybe next month I'll be able to make the trek... Great progress. The hairy arms and those small cuts and scratches look the part. You are doing all the right stuff to make this a very emotional piece. I know an AIF veteran of the Bougainville campaign who...

Thanks Tony, I guess the trousers would be herringbone twills? From my research I have found evidence that US uniform weren't as widely issued as had previously been documented. Apart from US gaiters and late war items of Aussie-made custom jungle kit, uniforms remained largely British KD...

Tony, this is looking better and better. Uniform colour looks spot on. I have a question which maybe you or Phil can answer. I see that this figure is wearing trousers with a thigh pocket. Are these British trousers? From most photographs I have seen of Australian troops in 1942/1943, the long...

Extremely well done! You have painted those figures very well. Your friend did a good job on the tank too!

Great, this is one of my favourite 'Phil figures'! I love the rugged, tired, yet defiant look. Can we expect another tropical vignette base? That would look awesome. I'll be watching how you paint these large scale figures, it helps me even though my figures are 1:35. Take care mate, Chas...

Great Mikko, I have added you to the list. Thanks for your support. Chas

I'd like to encourage a big push for Australia day! Here's hoping that modellers answer the call and our voices are heard by the figure manufacturers. Chas

Amazing detail. It looks great even with the ANZAC leaning back. However, I don't like the horse's back calf, it looks like there is a piece of armour plating under the skin ;) No big deal though, it's a minor issue for me. Chas

Brilliant pose, painting and atmosphere, well done.

Brilliant work. The fern on the ground was a great idea.

Great "vedgie";) Doesn't look too un-natural, great weathering and snow. Well done. Chas
