That works very nicely!

Yes looks very good indeed....the lighter window frames work well

Looks brilliant!

Terrific !

Outstanding Steve

I was thinking about what else you could use the 'tin' idea for. Maybe an oil or gas storage tank?

I have used assorted packing material to attempt to create sci-fi buildings - the inside of a biscuit packet (the plastic bit) has been saved to turn into a green house - the idea being to fill it with plaster of paris (or filler) to make it more robust. But that is still on the 'to-do' list.

Mark, they are perfect for oil and gas storage tanks, albeit a tad large on the footprint front etc. However some of the smaller tin cans would be perfect IMHO. Something else to bear in mind when sorting through the re-cycling

Mark if you do 15 or 20mm WWII Brits the Plastic Soldier Carrier kit is your freind. It comes with a shed load of extras, inculding all the fuel tanks for a Wasp - both versions.

Like that a lot

Thanks Will

You have 'bean' and made a very nice model.

If you had a German plane outside, perhaps the pilots name would have bean Heinz!

Thanks for sharing this neat idea. I get the sense with lockdown, we are moving from gamers to modellers. Both activities give pleasure, and wargaming is like railway hobby in that we build and play.

Poggle · 11 February 2021, 03:49:13 AM

An elegant build!

Techno II · 11 February 2021, 07:10:18 AM

That really has worked superbly, Steve.

Cheers - Phil.

Steve J · 11 February 2021, 07:24:26 AM

Thanks

@ Orcs: I may nick the 'Heinz' name for the pilot as I love the humour assosciated with the whole build

.

@ Sunray: I love scratch building stuff, much more so than painting figures. I should focus on the latter rather than the former!
