Evolution 1/35



The weapon slings are a bit wide I think but I'm putting that down to inexperience and a lesson learnt.

I'm prepared for incoming, do your worst.

They look okay to me Roger, nice job on a modern subject. Not sure what the wheeled thingy is (apart from being an armoured APC).
They look neatly painted but modern stuff, well its not got a red coat.
Nice job.
Regards

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks very much Bob.
The wheeled thingy is a Russian BTR-80A. This is my little hobby while at work, strange things happen at sea, I'm just glad mine's building plastic kits.

 

[Viking Bob]

I knew it was a BTR, in my days they were BTR 60s. now all you gotta do is base it.

I've done one of those too! .
I'd like to base it with some groundwork etc. but I have a problem with space.

 

[Viking Bob]

Might I suggest 1/48th next time

Lol yeah that crossed my mind.

Take one of these on your next tour of duty and problem solved!

Great work by the way

I might have the occasional dabble into other modelling but I draw a line at Dr. Trek Star Who.

Thanks Ulrich.
I don't fancy applying decals to anything that small.

Lovely Lovely accomplished figure modelling there Roger.

I am just a tad confused though......how do I put this?

Do all your new style bases have wheels?

You're always a trendsetter .......obviously..........but I don't think this will catch on, would this style look right under Polish winged hussars for example.
No, so less cheese before bed for you from now on young man, and you will dream more of horseshoes and plumes and feathers as you used to.

Still.....erm ......no that's all, there's just
nowt to praise let's face it.

Thanks Paul.
I'd like to think I've still got a surprise or two up my sleeve. Back to work on Friday and my next figure base with tracks.

 

[Gellso]

Looking really good.
The evolution figures look excellent

Well this was a floaty base with wheelz, is that the theme a caterpiller powered floaty base with a big musket attached and nowhere to fit a proper mans bayonet.
these sound silly, how can a man present arms and form square inside one of them ....
The furthest a chap should be allowed to go in this direction should be a half armoured seahorse surely.
If this continues I shall call you Shirley.

Thank you Grant.

At a boy Roger !

Its refreshing to go off in a little tangent once in a while. Not only that but, you are the only one I know that builds models while bobbing about in a boat!

Cheers Joe. There's four of us on our ship, not bad for a crew of only fifteen, our own little model club. Meetings every day too, how many clubs can boast that?

It's probably not the solitary hobby it is for most other people either, there's always someone sticking their head in your cabin to see how you are getting on.
In mine they're usually greeted with, "STOP!! There's a little bit of tank on the carpet I haven't found yet."
