What am I building now?

[Wizzel]

Just think of them as challenges not disasters.  And look how your modelling has come on in overcoming them.

You really have pulled a blinder with this one Kitey. You're certainly putting me to shame, I really must get more motivated and on with it...

[Kiteman]

So, at last I have got the cursed model finished. Lots learned like don`t glue headlamp glasses with super glue or they will go white and keep away from children. Despite all the setbacks this was an enjoyable model and I think that it looks ok.....what do you think?

[Bigkev]

Well Done Kiteman!

You certainly have had your problems/challenges with this kit, but the end result is a credit to your modelling abilities.
Cracking Job Grommit!

[Haddock]

Nice job that sir, very realistic. What scale is it?
Haddock.

Where do you store your completed models? Are you a member of a club, and do you show your models?

I store my models in cabinets in my model room, although it is getting now full. I have asked this questions several times in the club newsletter and on this website but no-one seems to want to tell me waht they do with their models.
I am a member of this club and have also started a club here in Germany about 3 years ago. Nothing formal like BWSMC, more  a regular meet from some modelbuilders where we sit and discuss model building and share techniques over a cup of coffee at my house.
I have only ever shown my models once and that was at an event in our village where our little club put on a stand at the local spring fair last year. The model scene is very different over here than in UK. Should anyone be interested I would be happy to throw summat together and explain the differences.
I hope that your questions are more or less answered, thank you for asking.

...and for you Zak and Haddock, no it isn`t the Wespe, it is in 1:35 and is called :-

[bridlufc]

Mine are gathering dust on shelves on the top landing outside my man cave, I will post some pics of my man cave very soon

I have a few in a cabinet on the landing, some more in a cabinet in the model room, and the rest stored in boxes.
All the old stuff I gave away years ago as they weren't good enough.

So with the Panzer just about finished I have started on the next mystery model, here is the engine with some paint splashed on as it will not be visible when in situ. It is a V8 with a dry sump and sticky up exhausts, but the question is....to what does it belong???

[bridlufc]

Is it one of those novel hot rod type thingies  that kit manufacturers thought were popular in the sixties or early seventies?

Bridlufc

[Kiteman]

Nope!! Here is the next clue....
