Somehow I have managed to finish the AA Panther with both turrets done.

The level of weathering won’t show up well on the photos but it is there.

Hard to believe that I have managed 4 this year after last year’s big total of 0.

Ok a little while since the last update. I have been concentrating on the AA Panther with a little weathering and the true joy of track construction. I am nearly finished one side and just started with one piece on the other with 6 links left on the other side.

Hopefully I will finish it by the 31st to make 4 kits finished in one year. after last year that is great.

I will share the Telford experience later in a separate post.

At Telford I picked up a resin Minion Dalek cross figure for about 9 Pounds. I know next to nothing about Minions so some research will be required. On the other hand I know a bit about Daleks.

The kit is from Retrokit SF and is fairly well cast. There’s a few bits of flash and a couple of lumps that will need to be scraped off but not a lot of work really. The bottom moulding plug is a bit thick and will need a razor saw and a face mask to clean up. 

The 2 guns and toilet plunger will require a little hot water bending to straighten.

Flak Panther will be getting a look in with a matt varnish coat over the weekend.

And lastly a little wisdom from the Thai Border Patrol Commissioner.
