I've been concentrating on the accessories i want to add to the model including some stowage over the last few days. Firstly I made up a suitcase from some foam board and plastic card, suitably battered and painted it looks just the job. The rest of the gear comes from the spares box, some even from old builds. I do need to get some more clear bottles as well and make up some tarps for the back deck.
Also today, in some torrential rain I might add, myself and Brian went down to the Tank Museum in Bovington for a trip out. Almost straight away we bumped into our good mate Terry who volunteers at the museum. After a quick catch up we proceeded to have a good look around to see what was new.
We worked out it must be at least 5 years since our last joint visit. We did like the way the museum flows now and particularly liked the displays around the modelling area and the small display of Action Man and Dinky Toy stuff. Very nice to see them encouraging modelling to youngsters. A nice PLA Type 59 caught my eye as well and a cracking Ferret which had seen most of its service in Northern Ireland.
So a quick cup of coffee and another nice chat with Terry before a whistle stop tour of the museum shop, and it was off to the Anvil pub at Pimperne for a nice lunch over a pint talking yet more modelling bollocks! Yet another great day out I'm sure you will agree.
This is about the size of kit Brian now needs after breaking his optivisor!
