You lucky sod!

What I wouldn't give to have just one copy of this!

You've made a nice job of that mate.

I have to confess that I like this a lot mate.

I'll give you 8/10 mate as it is a disc of sandpaper I cut out from a sheet of sandpaper.

This build was a possible 52nd build of the year but there were some fit issues that delayed it so the Bishop beat it to the finishing line. Here is a shot of one issue with the kit. http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/IMG_5400_zps7f038554.jpg and here is the finished build. http://i36...

The main thing is that your nephew enjoyed doing it, and produced something that's not bad at all. Lets hope for more of the same then - and photos of both your efforts side by side for comparison next time Let's see, you want me to compare a build of mine with one of his! This could be a disaster ...

I'm no expert on Willys Jeeps but can't recall ever seeing this type? And that's not meant to be a crticism by the way.. , I wondered how long it would take someone to notice. My nephew got carried away and attached the wheel arches for the trailer to the jeep. I could have prized them off, but he ...

It's done, I'm finished, 52 models in one year! Here is Italeri's 1:72 Bishop Mk.I SP Gun, unknown unit, El Alamein Sector, late October 1942 http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/IMG_5415_zps36529b0f.jpg This was a great little kit to build. Thanks guys for all the support, we just need...

A nice surprise for me when my nephew 'Shady', said he would like to build a model with me. So I found the cheapest kit in my stash (tight fisted git) and he sat and made this whilst I made something else. I enjoyed showing him some techniques to help with his build and I think he has done very well...

Wow, that is wonderful mate.

Thanks mate.

The penultimate build for me then for this challenge. 51 is Fujima's 1:76 Valentine tank. http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/IMG_5409_zpsb7deef9b.jpg http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/IMG_5406_zps4c8222a9.jpg http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/IMG_5404_z...

Well done mate, very nice.

Another cracker from you Geoff.

Yep, it's my 50th build of the year and it is very much looking like I will make my goal of 52 builds in a year with 2 months to go. :yipee Another enjoyable build, even though the camo was a challenge. So, another tank joins my British collection. http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/I...

That is a superb collection and line-up mate.

I'm getting deja vu!

And as if by magic, a couple of hours later, another pony makes it out the stable! http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj303/arabjazzie/P51DTUSK_zpsf41c1f4c.jpg Well thats no 37 for the challenge which will put me 5 weeks behind on my target of 53! Another Stang is about to be started over the next ...

Looking forward to this mate.

You can never have too many pony's mate. Well done, she looks great. A couple of indoor snaps of the Churchill as teh outdoor ones were awful. http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/IMG_5395_zps12ab8a2b.jpg http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/Le_Deacon/IMG_5394_zps32e192fd.jpg

Nicely done so far mate.

Well done sir.

I think I was so focused on the paint job I wouldn't have spotted the
serial number!

Nice camo anyway mate.

49 from me is the Airfix 1:76 Churchill Mk.VII



I think the sunlight actually bleaches out some of the weathering. :blink:

Cheers

48, but i'm running out of steam.

This is Airfix's 1:76 scale Vickers Light Tank Mk.VI finished as a tank from the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards 2nd Infantry Division of the B.E.F. 1940.



Cheers
