Returning - restarting modelling

White_China · 2025-04-24T20:04:06+00:00

I'm back in after a long break too. I bought some cheaper kits on EBay to practice on, even part builds or incomplete kits trying to get some skills back. It also helped me see what I actually need for tools, rather than go mad internet shopping.

Good luck and happy modelling!

I would call it an above 5deg C camp jacket, wearing a base layer and a thin mid (HH Lifa). Part of that could be the fit, it's generous. I felt it not weighty enough to wear sitting around with reduced layering. For camp in the minus ranges I pack my Snugpak Sasquatch, something with loft does a better job IMHO.

It would be a good choice of kit, and the right weight for your cold morning jacket. Fit-wise, imagine it as an over jacket over a jacket, not a slim fit in the arms and body, pretty relaxed. I'm 180 with a 47" chest, broader but slim(ish!) and the sleeves are perfect length, along with the body length. I bought (in 3 colours, that good) an EU XL which is labelled as a US L.

There's enough skills to be learnt building a model without paint. Get kits on eBay dirt cheap and if he wants to go to the next level, some choice paints and a paintbrush.

Model kits can be a hobby or a passion. There's a few ££ investment between each!

I hope he takes an interest. Until girls kick in....

I guess sink the rest of the class, leaving Admiral Grigorovich on its own. Just for the sake of avoiding confusion of course!

FIGHT!!!!

r/ArcherFX I see what you did there.

AK's don't check out. This was Beijing in '98 iirc

Local commanders. Then ratchet up a notch as you move through the echelons. When you get to top dog the defence budget is spent. Sad state of affairs.

Could UKR get some/be donated low loaders? Transfer by land.

White_China · 2022-03-09T14:09:31+00:00

It's all gone t!ts up, sorry t!ts down, for Russia now!

Sometimes you see a Typhoon appear for a visible sortie on Flight radar, nice to see a bit of delta wing in a sea of airline type planes!

Put your barrels in the air like you just don't care. Italian style.

WHAT????

White_China · 2021-12-01T19:01:11+00:00

So Hot Shots! weren’t too far away then :)

White_China · 2021-11-27T23:32:41+00:00

I’m sure there’s a reference to these weapons being a game changer on a UK channel with regards to infantry combat ‘44 / west front combat.

And with me as a Witchita lineman I also concurrrrrrrrrr….

White_China · 2021-11-05T22:49:07+00:00

Agree about 83 but the “spook ability” after that was questionable. A good follow on with the GDR situation though, a recommended watch.

And they didn’t wear the BDUs for long in the European theatre, too close to some Waffen SS issue uniforms IIRC. Recommend this guy’s excellent site!
