Re: A couple of Cold War Warriors.
Every time I read this topic title I change it to “a couple of cold beers,” which sounds good to me right now. It would be good to have some more projects flowing here, but I’m not sure how to do it.

Beers, or a few glasses of wine.
I wish I knew Bruce, short of poaching people off other forums (which I don't agree with) I'm not sure how you drum up interest in a forum.

Bravo! That is something I always wanted to try.Stuart wrote: ↑Fri Mar 14, 2025 5:48 am Made some more progress last night whilst I was sorting out my son's bath. The turret is pretty much done bar the IR spotlight, which I'm working on. I have to say I really liked the old skool prices of string soaked in Liquid Cement for the tow cables - I didn't think it would work but it was actually really easy and they worked a treat.
Once I've finished the spotlight, I've just got some filling/sanding to do on the hull and a few parts to add, and then it's ready for paint!
Cheers!

Re: A couple of Cold War Warriors.
I for one try to post regularly here too, so I would hope I'm considered one of the regulars here, given I wasn't named. That's cool though. I always jokingly tell people that I'm a forgettable guy and my work is so small, nobody an remember it when they stop looking at it!
LOL! Isn't that why they call it "Braille Scale"? LOL!!
I also love the intimacy of a smaller Forums, but having a few more return would only enhance that. Hey, anytime I start a new Thread or add to my manufacturing thread, I always post it here first before others.
Keep it coming Stuart, and welcome to my world of building multiples at a time. I tend to have 7 to 15 kits happening at the same time on my workbench.

Re: A couple of Cold War Warriors.
I've always thought of you as a regular here Mark, I was just commenting that a lot of the Admin/Moderation team don't post on here anymore, asides from the guys listed.
Thanks! Lol! I can never seem to build one at a time - that would be far too boring!

Mark, you’re the SPAM assembly line… like US Steel, Newport News, McDonnell Douglas, and Detroit Tank Arsenal rolled into one… oh yeah, Krupp too

Re: A couple of Cold War Warriors.
I have been away from the forum for a long period and it was not necessarily the best of times for me or any of us—the pandemic—but I am grateful the forum community still rolls on and members still are sharing their experiences online. I wouldn’t have the deep appreciation for those here who give so much back. That’s everyone here, everyone!

M48 Mantle covers - any thoughts on colour? I was going to paint mine a buff colour but from photo's they seem more green?
