Ummm, hello? Is this thing on?

Post by Matt Parvis »

All,

It has been a while since I've been around so I figured I'd say a quick hello here.

I have been modelling in recent years but my production has fallen off precipitously. I finished one diorama in 2019 and maybe not even that much in 2018. I'll try and get some pictures up of the dio from last year, but, they will need to be edited a bit as the main subject is a Bf-109 and there naughty symbols visible in many of the pictures.

I am currently working on a 1/48 diorama with a Stug III, an I-16, and a bunch of soldiers standing around, one is pointing though, so it is all good. :D I will also try and get some pictures up as I go along with that.

Finally, I scored a mess of 1/35 AEF Designs Aliens figures recently some of which I will try and get to so I can join in on the sci-fi group build.

Matt

Hi Matt, welcome back! Good to hear from you again! :D

Sounds like you've been busy anyway, at least you've finished a bit more than me :lol:

Feel free to send me anything you have at gross-philipp@web.de, naughty symbols or not. I can sublty blur them out to appease the powers that be...

Hey, welcome "back" Matt! :D

I was away myself, seems to be a thing currently ;) .
The Sci-Fi stuff sounds a blast and the 48th scale StuG would be interesting to me since I've been ignoring 48th scale for years :oops: ;) .


Best regards

Thanks for the welcome guys.

One thing that certainly kept my production down in 2018 is that my wife and I moved house. Not far from where we were but we are now in a house that fits much better with how we live our lives. (No yard to mow!) Anyway, I bring that up because I was looking back at my posts here and my last post was about a 48th scale 38(t). I have almost no recollection of that build, I know it isn't finished and I have no idea where it might be, so, I suspect it might have gone missing in the move. I'm gonna need to have a dig around to see if I can find it.

Raoul, you should give 48th a shot, the detail is good and, at least for me, you can finish stuff much quicker which helps in keeping the motivation going. The downside is the figures, there aren't many and you absolutely cannot mix Tamiya figures with any other brand, the Tamiya figures are WAY to small.
