gorbyGood to see a different take on camo. 😄 😄 😄
I like the Cromwell, it looks psychedelic.
Doing a pink T34 is still on my to-do list.

David GoodchildThanks gorby, thanks Peter! Appreciate it! They were fun and yep I want to do a 'proper' winter camo one now too! A few more Pride flags left too! Loads of cheap to buy 'Vintage Classic' tanks I see, so I'll do a few more... 😉

Kesa TihoBeing gay myself i can enjoy some pride every once in a while. Though i still dont understand how people are proud but none of my business. Great builds and weathering

Kesa TihoDude... I just brought it up because its PRIDE tanks. Which have GAY flags on them. And i dont even make being gay a part of my personality if you mean by that in the "it gets old having to see this brought up in every aspect of our society" infact i try to hide it because i similarly dont like people who make their sexuality a part of their personality. In my message legitimately 3 words were about me being gay. And you cant tell me "oh pride is everywhere its so overwhelming" well it isnt for me. I havent seen a drop of pride or even a gay person in estonia for at least 8 years, even on the internet the most pride i see is my boyfriend posting a pride tiktok.
If your so angry about some people mentioning they're gay then maybe its time to go outside and touch some grass

Andrei Ionut Roman@Rick P Nobody here really cares about your opinion. Why dont you go to make your own group with your people in it and leave people enjoy this hobby and what they like/want. Its a model he built, on his time, with his money and so on. He can paint it whatever the f he wants, ITS AN HOBBY. Nobody forced this on you or anything else so you can just keep your frustration to yourself. Seriously, let people enjoy what they want. If its something you dont like, you can scroll away and so on. Peace. Let people enjoy what they like.

gorbyI see loads of models of half naked women on Scalemates which to me is suggesting a sexual preference. I haven't seen you complain about those Rick. I don't like the models depicting young girls in provocative clothing. I don't complain about them because that would highlight the thing I don't like by sending it to the top of the newsfeed.
Gay was mentioned once before your comment and this is the first time I can remember 'Pride' colours being used on a model shown on Scalemates, so it's not exactly taking over is it?
If you don't like David's post, try ignoring it.
If you want to reply to my comment PM me.

David GoodchildThanks for the positive comments everyone. I could delete Rick P's comment, but I don't like censorship, as a queer person I've been censored a lot in my life so I don't think I want to play that game. I will say that it's interesting that Rick thinks he has the right to express his opinions in whatever way suits him, but us queers should shut up and 'stay in the bedroom..' Nah mate, you're OK, I'll do what I want, you do what you want, it's a free country and all that.

David Goodchildgorby, thank you for that I agree with you, and isn't there a company that make strange Japanese hentai style schoolgirl figures in sexualised poses? I admit I thought this album might attract some contempt but I was a bit surprised anyone would bother to actually express that in the comments, I mean, if you don't want to see it, don't look, it's simple enough. I have no intention of bringing sexual imagery into it, and the first person to talk about that was the person who is so annoyed with this, so that's a bit strange. Anyway, the next one will be the Trans flag, and I will be adding photos here... And Robert, thanks, that is so cool, I am definitely considering doing a tank biathlon diorama now!!

David GoodchildThanks @Ben M, these are fantastic and great inspiration, as well as a justification, were one needed (and it is not) for doing tanks in pink and other non-traditional colours... The first one had me a bit shocked for a minute and then I realised it was a middle finger, not something else! Excellent, cheers! 😎🤣

David Goodchild🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don't stop on my account, they're great! Life is stranger than fiction blah blah and all that! 😎

Thomas Bischoffsorry Rick - either keep your thoughts private or phrase it in a non offending way
22 October, 21:47
Sebastian Meyner@David: Interesting take 😎 and nicely executed 👍
@Rick P: I'm with basically everybody else. SCM is not the place for your "thoughts"..... if we are kind enough to call it that. You're promoting some dark sh**, that shouldn't have a place here or anywhere else really.

scalematesAll I can say is, great models, interesting camo and thank you for sharing.
If you don't like it this single post: there is a hide button
If you feel it is taking over: BS!!
And always free to leave!
👍 end of discussion. (I want no reply unless it is about the models)

Album info
I know nothing about tanks, but I wanted to build one - I know there are white camo patterns and I thought it would be fun to try to do that, but I also wanted to play with the macho overtones a little, so I decided to use the Pride flag colours. I was inspired by the Lego Everyone is Awesome set. The first one I did was the Airfix 1:76 Cromwell Aldi special, and I was so happy with it, I wanted to do more, so I picked up the Tiger and Sherman in Lidl last time and this time I did the omnisexual flag. I think this one turned out really well, just needs a coat of matt varnish now and it can sit on the shelf behind the original...
