Rikard Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
