Model Power HO scale supermarket

G"day

Another post from me, What can i say? Im on a roll!!!!

Today whilst out with the family we stopped into a Hobby shop that was chockers full of great terrain. 

Picked up this great little kit from Model Power. Although it says HO which i believe is 1:87 it seems to be on the larger side of the scale id say more OO scale 1:76. 

Pretty straight forward build with yet more woeful instructions. Not 100% finished still needs a few bib and bobs but just about done.

Again some picture on the table for sense of scale.

Cheers

20mm Ukrainian militia types

Hello hello
To begin i must stress I DID NOT PAINT THESE, i picked them up on a Facebook trade group.
They were an absolute bargain and will serve well as both pro and anti goverment militia.
Couldn't help myself had to snap some pics on the table.

Cheers

Superquick 20mm Buildings

Guten Tag!

Been extremely productive this week even though i feel like a steamed turd. Still working on my board and have begun the process of filling it out.
To begin with im using these Superquick HO-OO scale card buildings. They are cheap as shit($15-20 AUD) per building or for the small buildings you get 2 per pack!

The builds are pretty straight forward. Wouldn't say they are hard just more a pain in the ass. I learnt a valuable lesson today when constructing the two small buildings, Weather!
The large building i built on a warm day and it was a breeze, nice and quick good bonds with the pva. Today was wet and a nightmare, PVA wasn't drying quick enough and joins were springing open. So  ill be waiting for another sunny day to continue the other buildings.
Instructions are pretty dismal but if you have some grey matter shouldn't be a problem.

My first selection. Looking at 3-4 buildings per 2x2 tile. So only 14-20 left to buy haha.

Based on 3mm MDF. Still needs the dirt painted and some flowers etc.

 I opted to leave the chimmneys off all the buildings, I figure natural gas etc. Also im lazy.

Next to some 1:72 Matchbox cars

Cheers for stopping by, till next time.

And on the 3rd day.....

G'day again.
Wont waffle on too much but managed to stretch my stock of flocking material to cover the board. The table also got some airbrush love to weather the colours.
Once my new shakers arrive will touch it up and blend it some more.

Cheers

Moving along... Again...

So
Riding high on my current wave of hobby hype, i woke up and cracked ahead with my gaming table.
If you didnt already guess from my last post i am heading into the murky waters of the current Ukraine crisis.

Im hoping to build a board that represents a random down in easter ukraine but can also represent other eastern theatres.

Today i got all the texturing done. Using card for the side walks and textures laper for concrete areas. Once this had all dried a nice coat of grey primer and onto the base colours.
Tomorrow i hope to drybrush and weather it up some. Just waiting for payday to buy various flocking material.

Cheers

Greetings
This has been sitting half finished on my desk for soooo long. Finally pulled my finger out and cracked on. Not the best pictures but overall im happy with it. Bit more of a rush job compared to previous ships.
On the way i have some 6mm napoleonic russians. Already having buyers remorse as im sure its another misadventure but oh well.
Cheers
