    Looking good...

    is the turret supposed to be glass, with a man in, or not?

    Not really doing all of them at once. I have the Panther, Sherman, and Stuart assembled and mostly painted. Still have to do some painting on the tracks and touch up, then decals.

    I'll try to get some pictures.

    They're for wargaming use so I have to get several done at about the same time. I started off as a model builder, then found out about wargaming. Still can't just throw them together like some folks. I have to always make mine look as good as possible.

    Hi Brian, welcome to the forum! Glad you like it.

    Could you post pictures when you are finished creating the diorama? We're always eager to see your work. :D

    Well, now the Blenheim is finished, I have to return to my unfinished projects...

    Bloch 152
    Sturmtiger (conversion from Tiger 1 kit)
    Kfir (conversion from Mirage III kit)
    MiG 15 (I foolishly decided to add scratchbuilt 'detail' to the Airfix kit)
    Some F1 car that I am making 'with' my girlfriend ( :D )...

    and numerous other half-finished projects, which have not been touched for a while. I find more every day, but a short list is:
    Canberra
    Junkers Ju 188
    Blohm Und Vos BV 141
    1:144 scale B-25 Mitchell
    An 'E-Type' Jaguar (car)
    HMS Ark Royal (and destroyer)
    A German 6-wheeled armoured car (I have completely forgotten the designation. All I remember is that the kit is by Matchbox, and fitting the hull together proved to be a pain).

    However, as I now have to fight my parents for table space, and I have a girlfriend to soak up my time, whether any of these will get finished soon...
    I have only started 4 models since I finished Uni (2 years ago), and have only finished 2!
