Hi all,

Due to a major incident involving my half finished MIFV, 1 cat and a concrete floor I have had to abandon that project for now at least...

Still I found a very cheap Revell Marder 1A5 over the weekend and I intend to do this for the campaign instead.

Oh I will but it snapped half the swing arms on one side, not in the convinient place i.e. at each end but half way down each. Odd one that.

Hi all,

I found some time to work on my 231 over the holiday.

I was planning have the turret open but I launched several tiny interior door hinges into the beyond, so now we are all buttoned up.

Finished the BRDM today. Still not sure how I like Trumpeter kits. Ill need to do a few more before I pass my personal judgment. My only complaints would be some vague instructions at times and the lack of painting options. I just dont think it would be that hard to include a few options, especially if your going to include several decal options.

Nice stuff. How do I get my pics to show up like this. All I seem to be able to do is post the link to photobucket.
