This will be the next model under construction.  Got this from Model Hobbies when I got  Andy the Stormtrooper and have been waiting for the Green Stuff World colourshift metal paints.
Had a trip to Brid with "she who must be obeyed" for a walk and some ozone, and YES it did rain before you ask, popped into Mighty Lancer and picked up the paint and had a chat with Nathan.  The models are a human, a robot and an android - they will be made straight from the box, trying the new paint on the android and the robot. Will also make a bar  for them all to go in, will get on with this a I am finishing the other models under construction, so may be a slow build.

Another month without a meeting but at least we are all safe and well - I hope

The 2 models I would have brought are first  the Tamiya M3 Lee tank converted to have bar armour fitted and placed at a road block in Africa. The figures are some of the Trumpeter "African Freedom Fighters" set and all are in 1/35 scale. The shade hut and bits and bobs such as the fridge, table etc are all scratch built.  The model still needs some bar armour on the front of the tankand the road and figure causing the commotion to be done.
The second photo shows a Dragon Russian JSU122 tank destroyer slightly - hohohoho - converted to have the gun removed and it will end up with an open fighting compartment with machine guns inside. The row of shops in the background are again scratch built and will be boarded up and covered with graffiti.
Both these models are on the web site alongside many other much better models - so if you wish to look and see how they have been produced - you know what to do - look at the web site.

Well the next project is an old model from the stash that got put together and never painted - amazing what you find under lockdown rules.
Decided to update the WW2 tank to a converted one as a guard at a road block, will add some bar-armour to protect it against RPG rounds and put it in situ at a road block some were in Africa. Got Nathan at Mighty Lancer to get me the Trumpeter "African Freedom Fighters" in 1/35 scale to go with the tank. Before you ask Chris - NO ZOMBIES at the moment, but don't hold your breath.
Will put the tank under an awning of leaves for shade with table,chairs and a fridge next to it and have the people getting to their feet as somebody approaches the barrier. Having worked/been in Africa a lot during the 1970 and 1980 era, have had to go through many such road blocks  so it will bring back many happy memories ??

Got this on line from Mighty Lancer - rang him a couple of days ago and it has arrived today -- thanks Nathan. 
The other 2 photos show the bits and bobs I have cut out of MDF, metal, acrylic and an old wardrobe door to make the shark house, to keep the zombie shark from attacking you lot next time we can have a meeting.

Yes thank you to the carpet monster - lost the small part in the first photo.
Spent ages looking on the carpet for the bit, ended up sorting and cleaning the workbench and eventually found it on the bench.. So a little bit more tidy in my room now.  HoHoHo but that is not what I have been saying

Another great day with friends - and I even got at least 20 minutes of work done during the day.

Sat having a coffee and with a box of tissues and "man flu" - well really its only a runny nose, so thought I would do some planning for the next big model.
Again its not my fault -- (passing the buck onto the new Guideline magazine Fantasy Figures International - so any complaints get in touch with either David Grummitt or Paul Osborne - don't think I have used that one as an excuse before - hohoho ) The magazine is excellent and I have enjoyed ALL the articles in both issues and got lots of ideas and tips from them.
After reading Kenneth Childres article on the Zombie plague after WW2, decided to make a convoy vehicle. ( if you wish to know the full back story its on page 20 of the first issue )
First thing will it be a tank or a truck get fed up with making tank tracks they drive me up the wall, I know you can get metal ones - but as a good Yorkshire Man I have to shout out the old Yorkshire saying "how much" so it will be a truck - think I still have an old WW2 ambulance in the stash in the loft.
Have been looking for some zombie figures, lots of resin ones and the only plastic ones I have found in 1/35 scale are Master Box set with 4 zombies and a young lady say on a motorbike ( you don't get the bike so might do this with her sat on a wall with the title of "out of the frying pan and into the fire" -- but I digress so will put this on the back burner for a while). Back to this model, think its out with the recycled figures from the Zulu War and another change for them also will use some WW2 tank riders.  Initial planing is to cut the ambulance down to just the cab and frame and then add 2 overhanging gun platforms either side  for quad machine guns and a plough at the front -- that the plan at the moment now off to find the ambulance.
