Great looking models mate, iv had a look around you cool website aswel

 

Sorry for sounding stupid, but how big are 1/43 models? Maby you could measure it, or just stick your hand next to a model

 

I used to make 1/72 (i think) German World War 2 stuff, and i found painting them really hard, and i know that you need a lot of skill and a very stedy hand to paint the modles you have made to such a high standard One of my mates used to paint bigger models (1/32 he had more money lol) and he used to spend houres painting them, then used to get headachs from the smell of paint

Thanks mate

 

1/43 scale models (after getting my ruler out lol) are about 100mm long around 35mm wide. That was measuring a Rover P5. Ive had many a night where i have had to stop from the fumes lol! I know exactly how you feel! Just out of interest, what models did he paint? Matchbox kingsize are 1/32 scale i believe but may be wrong?? I have a few 1/25 scale models, a MK2 Granny and an XJ6 and like you say they are bloody expensive!!

Thats a good size.

 

He painted similer stuff to me, mainly World War 2 stuff, he liked the Germans like me, he made a few half track APCs, a Kublewagen, he made a top quality scene of some Africa Korps, and made a small high detail D-Day landing of the English. He also had a 1/32 scale Tiger 2 Tank, the model was very high detail and he gave it an equally good paint job (including the inside!!!) it also had a motor in it and could move, though he never played with it, just looked at it. and it was very expensive lol. He also went through a spell of doing War Hammer 40k, but luckliy he soon went off that Hes made lots of stuff, too much to rember though.

 

I used to do the cheeper Airfix

 

He done some Airfix, but mainly this Itilian make wich i can't rember what the name is lol.

 

I have a few wich i never finished, i havn't done it for a while, but i sure miss the smell of that glue
