If you are going to get all persnickety about one of my builds please just tell me straight if you absolutely have to…I rarely know anything about my constructions…I just like making them…they are plastic models not history books ffs…🙄

…not being over sensitive or anything but obscure comments like this are not really very helpful…you may know heaps of stuff about the Trabant and other things but please be clearer if you have to say them…and don’t ask the impossible of folks who are just trying their best…it doesn’t sit well…🤷‍♂️

Yeah…I ain’t attempting to model that in this build…🤷‍♂️😊

My issue with it is that the glue we use to secure it is feeble because it needs to be easy to remove if it is over enthusiastically applied…all good…but then it’s feebleness so often ends up with me poking windows out…I need a strong clear drying glue that I can also easily remove…🤯😊

Looking at my stash today…on top of the German WW2 tanks I have lost any appetite to build I discover a pile of ‘small arms’ that I am also unlikely to need. This is what happens when you launch into modelling with no thought…lots of stuff I no longer want to build…it will be generously re-homed!

Heheh…yup…if the next series is as good as the first I can’t wait…and cheers too…I’m always trying to build stuff that’s maybe a bit different…

I was listening to the Plastic Model Mojo podcast today and they mentioned this decal company in India. They seem to be able to do reasonable custom decals on a very small scale at a reasonable price…anyone used them or know more…🤔?

Well…it’s a start…and the wall even fits…small victories are still victories…🤷‍♂️. I am even giving myself some more luggage options too…😊

‘Glass’ parts on cars and trucks are a constant source of annoyance for me…I often poke them out of place with a clumsy finger…🙄

A little build story for the AK Trabi. Next up is to construct a little base for it…going to attempt a small vignette…

These are apparently cast resin figures…anyone got an idea of the quality of this supplier as far as figures go…? It’s the one on the left I’m interested in…
