  1. Love the feedbacks guys. Ok. What type of ab is needed? I keep hearing double action is the way to go. What is the difference?
  2. Great responses fellas. I guess i might as well stick the cans then.
  3. You hit the spot there Harry. But the fine control is the beauty of it all. I am moving to house this month but have not fully decided yet. The cost of one AB can get me many models.
  4. So true Harry. Good to know i am not alone. Two things prevented me from getting an airbrush. 1. Small space. 2. Hate the clean up after every color change. But i am sure the advantages out weighs the disadvanges...right?
  5. I have been using rattle cans since i started modeling way in 2002. Been using them ever since. Will eventually buy an airbrush, for better control, but wanted to know if there are others who still uses them?
  6. Thank you Charlie. Much appreciated.
  7. Nice to hear that Richard. Thanks. Greatly appreciated.
  8. Thanks a million Tom. The only thing i am unsure of, if the vegatation is a bit much. I mean libya cannot be completely desolated without any vegatation or am i wrong?
  9. Thank you Virgil. I do appreciate the candid comments.
  10. Another one bites the dust. Thanks for warm welcome.
  11. Thank you for that humble comment.
  12. I do think I ever did a proper introduction but it is never too late to make one. So here goes. My name is Charles King and live in Sweden. Started modelling back in 2002 doing modern military in 1/35. Mostly modern armor or post modern stuff. I love big vehicles and not much of a tank person. But I will do a tank as I have diorama that will need a tank to complete the scene. I just started 1/24 back in 2010.Born in 1969,I have been interested in modeling since I was 12; though there was other interest that took priority at the time. Not until recent,in 2002 that my interest was rekindled. While browsing the Internet, I came across a gallery of beautiful military models that completely saturated my taste buds for modeling once again.So the rest is history. I do not-so-seen models and those out of the ordinary. I do not like doing the same thing, so I tend to look for obscure inspirations to work from. This way, the model or dio becomes different. I try to follow my own way of doing things, also adding other experiences from other modelers, by adding my own mix.
  13. Thank you Terry.
  14. Thanks Connor. The base is an old tree truck, like that used on the 23 window Samba vignette.
  15. Thanks for looking gents. The build went together pretty simple. Not so many parts.
  16. This build was pretty much OOB, with some added parts to biff up the original look of the kit. I just do not like things too plain looking. Still need to add a couple of minor things but generally it's done. So I hope you like it. The kit is from Italeri and it is 1/24. I was thinking of adding another gun mount at the rear. But I need to find another 1/24 gun of the same make or maybe another brand. The radio arrangement is wrong, as I was told but I just went after Italeri's instructions as I wanted this to be an OOB build with extras. The extra details or updates were added according to some of the newer British Rovers in action today. Just say, it has been updated just a little as these were used much in the late 70's and 80's, if my info is correct.
  17. Strange enough I've saved the pics...mmmmm
