Proof that the waiter has been working the same job for 90 years;

Even the chairs and table are the same. The more things change the more they stay the same!

No painting for a while as I lost the screw that holds the needle for my Paasche H airbrush. I am waiting for the replacement screw to arrive in the mail.

While waiting for the replacement screw, I decided to work on the Hobby Boss ZBL-09 what if. I used the Tiger Model T-40 Nexter CTAS turret. The turret is glued together but the upper/lower hulls are only dry fitted for now.





I was inspired by the new PLA Type-19.

Any progress is good progress, and this looks to be very good progress.

Land / Re: M41 Walker ''Bulldog'' Light Tank

At my preferred Australian online shops;

Tamiya's 1/35 M41 Walker Bulldog is going for about AU$27.50 at the moment.

Hobby Boss' 1/35 LAV-150 Commando AFV w/Cockerill 90mm Gun is priced at about AU$40.50 (which is stupidly high, imo) but is out of stock.

If you're willing to accept the alternate, then the Hobby Boss 1/35 LAV-150 APC 90mm Mecar Gun is a couple of dollars cheaper at AU$38.50 (again, over-priced, imo) & is also out of stock.

This would leave you with a M41 turret to put on a LAV-150.


I would assume that in the US prices would be both lower in raw number & real value.

C'mon, guys! Just one small step! Please?!

That "one small step" will see you looking for a larger residence to display the thing plus the other three you will keep in your stash.  Not to mention the disharmony that will be created when you bring all of the kits home. 

For a 1/35 CH-53D/E? ...... I can live with the consequences!

Now that I've seen this I remember the light stick in the water bottle attached to the antenna bit. I just don't remember what it was for.....
