1/32 CA31 outdoor photo shoot.
While I wait for some RTV to set I thought I’d pop up the road and take some photos of a couple of CA31s at Avalon. I’ll have some of these on display and for sale at ModelExpo next month.

I’m calling this order for the ADF complete ! Here I present the story in pictures of how I scratchbuilt a number of vehicle types in plastic to eventually become multiple copies in resin for use by one of our Army’s training facilities . The ASLAV-25 The ASLAV-PC & SURV The M88 Hercules The M113AS4…
I received an order for a fairly large number of 28mm modern ADF AFVs a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been pretty much tied up since then fashioning up multiples of suitably sized M1A1 Abrams, M113AS4s, M88s and of course a number of ASLAV variants. The good news for those attending Little Wars is…
I was contacted by a modeller with an enquiry about a kit I produced many years ago and asked if I would re-release it. So due to popular demand ( OK – two guys so far..) I have remastered the 1/72 version of the kit and I thought why not present it here with a…
Here’s the second and final installment carrying on from where we were last month. ( If you need to review go HERE ) The kit was built and taken to my local IPMS meeting for my peers to have a peek. There I learnt some of what the shortcomings are in the Hasegawa kit and…
1/48 isn’t my usual scale for modern jet aircraft, but it is for many of my modelling compadres. To this end a collegue of mine involved at the retail end of scale modelling recently returned from the Toy fair in Nuremberg with an advance copy of the new Kinetic F-18 Hornet offering and requested I…
Last year I built a Bf109 racer based very closely on another modeller’s work which he called “Creeping Death”. This was pretty much as a dare and I believe I carried it off ! I went two steps further and used up a couple of surplus 1/48 Spitfire fuselages (nothing is wasted !!) to fashion some…
After a burst of activity in between Christmas and New Year’s I can call the test examples of the CA31 in 1/32 completed. I’m happy with them being fairly good representations of the aircraft as envisioned and for those game enough I’ll make them available after I work out how much production…
Subsequent to my ramblings in my previous CA31 posting I’ve sold a fair number of 1/72 CA31 kits. As a result I’ve updated the instruction manual and have posted a PDF of what comes with the kit here – I’ll sort it all into a separate area dedicated to guides etc once I start uploading more instructional pieces. This won’t…
Presenting the piloted Jindivik ! Years ago I made a 1/72 kit of this diminutive aircraft having seen the aircraft in the flesh every second weekend when I performed the role of host officer down at RAAF WIlliams Museum. You can see history here and here of the real aircraft . Following on from the…
