Just catching up: your 1/72 Dragon is marvellous. The weathering and dust effect is spot n - I could asily mistake that for a much larger scale.

The Matilda also looks superb - especially in the Caunter scheme. Well done for both models.

Not my subject I'm afraid but I can appreciate a well built and beautifully painted model. Nice one Paul.
Best wishes

Oh my, you should feel proud of that caunter. The Matilda engine deck is a pig to paint over.

Inspiring, the Cauter scheme is something I want to have a crack at one day.

Thanks guys. I have to do some chipping and weathering on the Matilda but ran out a gas for a bit. I have set it aside just so I don't blech it up in a last minute hasty push.

Excited to say I had a new local model shop open very near to me! I had to take a look and had no intention of buying anything right away but....

Well, its important to support your local hobby shops.

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Jim, you already have enough kits in your stash to start your own! In fact, you probably HAVE more than most LMS's!!!!! :lol: :-D

Good to hear new model shops actually appear occasionally! The only one easily accessible for me shut down during the lockdowns and never came back. At least there are a couple of fantasy/figure places around here so paints aren't a problem to find.

Wise move taking a step back from the Matilda - that caunter scheme should not be spoiled.
