Interesting stuff guys!
I also have some disadvantages using superglue, as for instance it sometimes hurts my eyes during use......

So i also will try to find this Plastic Magic stuff somewhere.

Thanks for the information Peter!

Have a nice day

That’s a very impressive model Jan, I really like that👌

Thank you John, and all "thumbs up-likers".
It was a lot of work, but seems to me very successful!

Have a nice day!

Hi,

Just a sneak-peak from the scratch-built ripper, which will be mounted on the rear of my Caterpillar D8K-bulldozer.
When the weather will coöperate, i will be airbrushing it this week on Wednesday.

Only have to wait on the last pieces of tracks, which are in backorder at my supplier.........

Have a nice day!

Hi all,

I couldn't do scalemodelling without Waterslide Decals, which i design myself for nearly every project i've done and will be doing!
Great details are brought to a model using the right type of font and size of names, logo's etc.
Takes a bit of work, but again: couldn't do without!!

Best regards,

Jan

Though not or often seen on the continent, at least, that's in the Netherlands where i live, it is indeed a very nice model you've made Ian!!
Compliments to that!!!

Hi all,

Just some quick pictures of my ongoing project, buildig the Caterpillar D8K in 1/24-scale, based on the building-kit from AMT.
Cab is ready, scractch-built, and also airbrushed yet, even on the inside.
Tracks are not yet complete, and partly airbrushed.

More will follow.

Have a great day!

Hi all,

Oooooh, being a Caterpillar-fan, i surely would purchase a kit like this........
But as far as i can see he didn't produce high numbers.
Not to mention what the OEM would think of that.........................🤔

I will keep an eye on that!
Hoping to find him supplying small numbers to Cat-fans!

Have a nice day!

Track Marshall 155s were used at Sandringham, hence how we come to be able to use the Royal Coat of arms decal on our models as applied to their real machines.

Hi,

I make my own decals, and it's really not that difficult! First try and find a proper picture (or rather: a vector-file) and scale that to the right size.
After that: high-resolution printing on water-tarnsfer-paper, and voila!
Done it a couple of days ago with the model i'm working on right now..........

Have a nice day!

Hi,

Be aware that the 1490 has an open bonnet-nose, while the 1390 doesn't

Hi all,

Bought myself one of these, really nice detailled Volvo FH4 truck, DieCast, scale 1:24 by Solido from an Italian supplier:

As well as a nice scalemodel of my favorit car, Opel Manta A:

Hi,

The IH956 was promissed for 2022....................
Other manufacturers are also supplying this model, maybe slighty different.
But who can look behind the screens? Maybe in China they all use the same factory........?

We'll be surprised to see more of these clones............

Hi Hugh,

Looks impressive, but just a question: what's on your last picture?
Are you making steps or something?

BR

Hi all,

On my workbench, since the beginning of this year, the AMT-kit of the D8H-bulldozer (from Caterpillar).
Although i'm planning to build it being the D8K, and therefor need to build me the right cab for it.
Until now i make a good progress, being satisfied, but still need a whole lot to do......

Have a nice day!

Hi again,

Well, i have to add some information here.
Unpacking the 160-90, to my surprise, the left and right fender-wideners were packed in a small bag underneath the bottom to where the model is attached.
So they are present, but not mounted, and you can decide for yourself what to do.
I like that, to have choice! Only a pitty that when you don't attact them, you'll have two holes in the fenders.

Hi all,

Bought myself two of the new items tonight.
Fiat 160-90DT and 180-90DT.
Comin' home and did a firm check, noticed the 160-90 didnt't have the fender-wideners as the 180-90 does.......
Checked some websites of suppliers, and found different results.
Not a big deal really, but just a pitty of two extra holes in the fenders..........

But check for yourself how inattentive production is these days:

Left mounted on right side, and right mounted on left-side. 🤨🤨🤨

You're welcome Jack!
Hope you're going to have positive experiences also!

Is this really USK??? Looks a lot like the new models from DieCast Masters..........

Hi,

To be honest: i really have only good experiences with them. Only thing is you should be aware of extra Custom-costs probably, at least when buying above a certain amount (try to find out what amount, saves you from disappointment).
I do buy a lot of scale-modelling stuff there, for airbrush etcetera, some electronic parts, but never have bought any models.
The "Buyers Protection" really works: they give you sort of guarantee for a delivery-period. When that has past, and you're in time for reclamation, they will absolutely refund you! Here also only positive experiences!
I can only say i'm a 100% satisfied up until now, purchasing at them for about 5 or 6 years now.

To my opinion: give it a shot!

Good Luck!

Very promissing build, although not common on the continent.!
I will follow your progression John. Good luck!!
