#OnThisDay in 1940, Avro met with the Air Ministry to discuss a four-engined version of their Avro Manchester. This would become the Lancaster. Read our Lancaster profile at www.classicwarbirds.co.uk/british-airc... #WW2 #WorldWar2

A week of base colour painting. The MkIV and my Brummbär, which has been gathering dust on the shelf, have both been painted. Awkward shapes so they both had to be painted in stages. #histscalemodels #buildthestash

A set of Tamiya German Tank Crew, a really nice set of figures. #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels #Tamiya

Haven’t had Nutella,i think since I was a kid and that’s a long time. 😂😂😛😛😛

(6 May 1944, Hucclecote.) Hawker Tempest Mark Vs, new and shiny, after leaving the Gloster Aircraft Company production line. #WW2 #HISTORY

Today: 0°C and 15 cm snow. Forecast for next week: 15°C and 0 cm snow. Weird weather. But it's also a last opportunity this season to take pictures of my minis in real snow. Here's a look at my Gebirgsjäger squad. #miniaturepainting #BoltAction #nerdlings

I painted the Grima miniature. I'm really quite pleased with him. Looks OK with Saruman and the palantir and some scenery #middleearth #LOTR #WARHAMMER #nerdlings #paintingminiatures #Paintingminis

Hmmm, the Indian Army officer needs some work aligning hands with arms with sword etc, and I was in a painting mood, so quick project switch. #WIP of a 54mm white metal Officer from the 33rd of Foot, Crimea, 1854. Painted with acrylics. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

This is probably the most complex build I've ever done. RFM is not to be trifled with, #histscalemodels. I haven't added a few of the more fiddly parts and the snow chain wheels due to their delicateness, but the Struker MGS is about ready for prime time.

Finished the second day squad of Fireflies with a day to spare. No glow effect but they're good enough for demos purposes this weekend at GhengisCon in Denver. #Konflict47 #Warlordgames #paintingfigures ##paintingminiatures

Finished the Tamiya Beaufighter. A good kit if you know someone looking to get into modeling. Easy to build…not amazingly scale but fun. After 3 complex biplane builds, I needed something easy. #histscalemodels #scalemodel

Some slightly nicer shots of my completed ‘Petite Curie’ X-ray truck conversion - including a representation of the great woman herself. #HistScaleModels

It’s the most tricky CSM build of the four I’ve done...still it’s pretty much finished & there‘s not much more I want to do with it. I didn’t put a matt varnish over it in the end as sometimes they just make everything look too…well, flat. I quite like some of the shine on this in places…🤷‍♂️👍

Update on the Warhammer skavens, all 20 now have a primmer coat on next up a base coat. Enjoyable at the moment. 😂😂 #Warhammer #HistScaleModels #PaintingMinis

Madness!

One from a while back, 1,35 Tamiya SAS Pink Panther. A nice little kit. #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels #Tamiya

I’m going to call this finished. I may add a tarp like the photo and perhaps some other bits at some time, but for now it’s a wrap. Proper photos tomorrow.

#OTD in 1945. Operation Veritable. Troop assembling before the Battle of Goch (17 until 22 February). #WW2 #HISTORY

Close combat or assaulting enemy positions is extremely deadly in Chain of Command², let's follow Cpt. Mainwaring as he eventually succeeds in defeating the dastardly Germans. A nerdy, statistical approach to close combat and what you need to win. #wargames #chainofcommand #spreadthelard

(September 1944.) A beauty. A Seafire XV, a naval version of the Spitfire. #WW2 #HISTORY

‘Petite Curie’ conversion very nearly complete. Little bit of clean-up needed, then to set up with my Marie Curie figure.

Second side (and underside) now completed. Time to call it a night and let them dry, before the next weathering stage starts. A-4 Aggressors #HistScaleModels

Decalling day for this A-4M Aggressor Skyhawk as well. Piecing together the various markings from my decal stash …and ditching a few old sheets that gave me issues 😜 #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Tankbusta wif Rokkit Launcha #40k #warhammer #xenos #orks #goffs #nerdlings #greenskins #paintingwarhammer

Right, I think I’ve done as much weathering on the Churchill as I’m comfortable with (for now, and at least until I make a base do it). Stowage next. #histscalemodels #scalemodelling

Here be the #photographs of this sher an tank on their own x #Wargaming #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels #MiniPainting

BBMF 50 years at RAF Coningsby. ➡️ www.memorialflightclub.com/blog/bbmf-50...

A historic scale model tank! One of the first models I ever painted, I’m still proud of the effects I achieved, considering that I had been painting for less than a year when I did this! #Wargaming #ScaleModels #HistScaleModels #MiniPainting #MiniaturePainting #Art #artsky

My A-4M & TA-4J Skyhawk #ModelAircraft are now glossy in preparation for the decals and panel washes to come later. Hope you are having a great weekend. 👋🏻 #HistScaleModels

The standard of pendantry is shocking these days, there's clearly a bloke with no Pike there (next to Eddie Shoestring) and no one said a thing 😆 #28mm #Swiss Pike from both Perry and Steelfist #hobby #history #painting #wargaming #tabletopgames

Next up will be this curio from HobbyBoss. The real thing got no further than a wooden mock up. HB have borrowed colours etc from World of Tanks. The kit offers two suspension layouts that I can't separate. The 66 track links per side are 3 piece items. Fun times... #histscalemodels

‘Petite Curie’ conversion nearing completion. Just a reminder for anyone interested in the project, you can see the build video covering assembly of my bespoke resin printed parts here: youtu.be/Z2Ibccy46_k?...

Close-up of some Typhoons from 174 Squadron. #WW2 #HISTORY

More home-made decals applied, plus number plates from the ICM kit. Starting to look a little more colourful.

It's like I've been transported back in time to Cambrai.. #histscalemodels #buildthestash

Cheers All, have a great evening. 👍😀👍🍺🍺

Calling the AirFix 1,35 Ferret MK1 finished, a really nice kit to build, enjoyed this one. A big thanks to @jim09ea63.bsky.social for his feedback on the communication antennas.pleased with how it has turned out. #HistScaleModels #ScaleModels #Airfix

Well that’s the easy part done all 20 skaven’s done now to get them all painted. 👍😃👍 #Warhammer #HistScaleModels

This guy is such a vibe #konflict
