As I'm basically an old man now, some old man modelling. 1/24 ancient 80s Takara VOTOMS Scopedog, updated by Wave. The legs and feet I'm happy with, but I'm adding card to the bottom of the body, to raise its waist, and I'll be shortening the arms slightly too.

Ian Doody
Rusty old death tub. Love the fact that VOTOMS AT's are basically futuristic Sherman Tanks, and as vulnerable as them. Death traps.

Ian Doody
Coming along nice and rustily, finally getting this done after ten years in the box. Wish I'd picked up more 1/24 VOTOMS kits when I had the chance, luckily I've got two 1/20's and about eleven 1/35 AT's to still make.

Ducksnuts
That weathering/rust looks amazing.

Ian Doody
Getting there, Rusty old one man tank look. This is just the first layer of paint on the primer. Filled up the voids on top of the knees, started to add the arms, cast texture made with putty on the shoulder pads. Finished inside of cockpit lid. Old school fun.

Ian Doody
Not a fat lot done today really. Built and slightly shortened both arms, made the hands, gun. Made so the right hand has proper gun finger control. Waiting for parts to dry.

CaptGPF
Ducksnuts is right - amazing weathering!

Ian Doody
Basic paint up finished, still working on the head, and gun.

Ian Doody
Melquian Drop Forces test paint. Going for a beaten up look. Trying to do it as fast as possible, and not go over the top, I've got a lot of other stuff to make.

Mr D
Looking 👍👍 great.
Nice paint shade on the head/helmet.
Nice job👌

Ian Doody
Moving slowly down the 1/24 WAVE/Takara Scopedogs chassis. Starting to look quite good. The slight height boost from added plastic card, makes it look better proportioned, quite pleased with that.

Ian Doody
That's enough for today, after a few days off, where I'm at now. It's getting to the standard I want. Lots more to do, washes, chips, scratches, oil, soot and general rusty weathering.

Mr D
Looks Good 👍👍
The rest will come....all takes time.
Reminds me of a kit l won as a kid in a drawing competition on holiday, l was bit to young to have skills to build it.
Nice model 👌

Doubtingmango
I have been eyeing that kit for a while

After reading "Spies in the Skys", by Taylor Downing chapter on "The 'Warby' Legend about Adrian Warburton flying PR missions over Taranto in this very aircraft and markings I decided to go for it.

Guy Rump
The next project will be this old tool Italeri Horsa glider. My first glider, so here's hoping it will be a good experience. 🙂

Robert Podkoński

Nicolas
I'm going to build this one too. Im watching with great interest.

J35J
I'm in!🙂

Guy Rump
Made a start today. First thing to do was decide if a MK.1 or Mk.2 was to be built. I've decided on the Mk.1 so I had to cut out the parts as shown in the photo. 🙂

Welcome along Robert, Nicolas & J35J, nice to have you with me. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Robert P, Neil, Chris & J35J. 👍

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Andrew B. 👍

Wings now together. I intend painting the wings before attaching to the fuselage. Hurricane added to show the size of the glider. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Alberto M & airjuneau. 👍

Underside of wing painted with Vallejo Model Air black & insignia white. 🙂

Guy Rump
Did the upperside of the wings with Vallejo Model Air Dark Earth and Dark Green. Invasion stripes to be added next. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Pietro DA. 👍

Neil Patrick
I built this about 20 years ago Guy as a gift for a WW2 Horsa pilot who was a friend of my wife's family. He'd flown Horsas into Normandy and Arnhem. He loved the model and it sat in his living room for the rest of his days. It's a nice kit as I recall.

Guy Rump
Invasion stripes are now on the wings. Next is to start painting the invasion stripes on the fuselage. 🙂

@ Neil, it is quite a nice kit considering its age. The fact that you gifted a Horsa model to an actual Horsa pilot veteran is something that must have been hugely gratifying. 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Villiers DV, Sebastien C, Neil P & 2 other mates. 👍

Guy Rump
Fuselage painted Dark Earth, BS Dark Green and black including invasion stripes. Gap is for where the wings are added. 🙂
