Stryker progress.

2010-02-09T05:21:00.000+01:00

Finally all the bits and pieces for my Stryker has arrived (ok, still waiting for a stowage set) but that isn't needed right now.
Have started with the "dashboard" for the drivers compartment. A lot of fiddly painting, but at the same time fun modelling. Will try to get some pictures as soon as I can. But it sure won't be a weekend project.

Stryker set back

The instructions for the interior finally arrived and I was able to start working on it. The first section was finished and painted, and I was to start cleaning up the parts for the second section, when I couldn't find one part. So I started going through all the parts and when I was finished I have found that 4 pieces was missing in total, and unfortunately no small parts that could be ignored. Also I found 3 broken pieces, of which 2 can't be repaired!

So, now this project is on ice until I hopefully can get new parts.

1/48 Humvee

This project will soon be on it's way, just waiting for some more aftermarket stuff.

This project consists of Tamiyas new 1/48 M998 Humvee, wich will be updates to OIF standard with aftermarket kits from Black Dog and Propaganda Kompany.

Strv m/41

Not much progress has been made at the moment. Have painted some parts of the interior and but together some road wheels, but that is about it.

Closing down?

I know I just recently started this blog, but I might already be dropping it. Have started a mayor rework of my web page, and I just don't know if there is room for this blog there, or if I should run everything of the server.

Going to think about it and decide over the next couple of days, maybe if I can get the same look on the blog as the page, I might keep it.

Progress!!!!!

It ain't much but at least some. Have started working on my Pzkpf 38 (or Strv M/41). Just painted some wheels, but at least it's progress.

Thought it was best to produce some image-proof (and it gave me an excuse to play with the new camera!)

A little update.

2009-09-19T12:15:00.002+02:00

As almost usual there has been a lack of updates, but of course, if I'm not doing any modelling there can't be many updates can there.

But now there actually has been some. Have finaly got my PzKpfw 38 from HLJ, and are about to start working on it. Well, that was at least my plan, but as usual the Dragon instructions sucks! It's a shame that a company that make such good models can't produce good instructions. So now I'm waiting for some help by the good people over at Armorama.

Meanwhile I'm fidelling with a figures-set from Trumpeter, their PMC VIP security guards. Wish I could post some progress pictures, but I'm sorta out of camera right now. But hopefully it should arrive next week and I can post some pictures then.

Special Ops 1/8 Navy Seal

A picture of the progress so far, but the figure is just blue-tacked together. Still have some cleaning up to do. Can't reallt get the helmet to sit good on the head. Next up on the project is to asemble the weapon.

Hi and welcome...

to my new blog. Hopefully it will look a little better then the old one.

It has been a quite good summer here in Sweden, for good and bad. The bad part of course being that there hasn't been much modelling going on. But fall is aproaching now so maybe. But I have a few project started on on the way:

Building a swedish Strv m/41 (licensbuilt LT-38 tank). Kit has been ordered from HLJ and should arrive in a couple of weeks. Have had the decals custom made by a company in Holland called Black Lion decals, really looking forward to seing how they turned out.
Also on order from HLJ is Tamiyas new Mathilda-tank. Plan is to eventually order a conversion kit from Firestorm models as soon as it's been released. (update 28/8: have got shipping notice from HLJ, so now this kit is on the way)
Have a lot of resin figures in various state of completion, in 1/35, 1/16 and 1/8 scale.
Have signed up for a couple of campaigns at Armorama, so I have a timeline to finish some kits. One is a Swedish M1A1 Abrams for a what-if campaing. And then I have to decide for a RAAF aircraft and build it. Narrowed it down to a Wirraway that I already have or getting a CAC Boomerang.

I think that was all for this update, will keep you guys updated as time goes by.
