Hi Folks, the Obscureco Works are under new ownership and changes have been made, as below...
New desk, rearranged factory space....
 New constructions awaiting final paint touches, tweaks, decals and weathering...
 (L to R) Italeri Rocket Maultier, Italeri DUKW, Tamiya Wespe and Hobby Boss VK 1601)...
Latest finished to paint stage item (Italeri Demag 7 mit 50mm Pak 38)
 Same old ever helpful staff...
 Working exclusively in 1/35 for AFV's and 1/48 for Aircraft these days (cataracts in both eyes and other medical dilemmas ain't helping !), my entire 72nd scale collections (aircraft and AFV's) have been disposed of to good homes and my adventures in 72nd and 700th are over, at least I can see the bits in the larger scales ! 😖
My next victim to be built is undergoing selection at present, will advise as to exactly what when the decision is made, pretty sure it'll be that one ! 🥸
Best
Gomez the Mad 😉

Been battling Glandular Fever (never had that as a kid, dunno where it came from now (none of my supervisory staff have had (or just gotten over), it lately), but I rather wish it hadn't !) right booger of a thing it was too - hope it won't return to bite me again, more dangerous than flippin' covid to an old booger like moi... Made the cataract blindness in my left eye seem like a mere bagatelle it did ! (cataract removed from my right eye before the Glandular Fever got me) they're still evaluating whether they can do much about my left eye yet (I need to be a fair bit stronger than I am at present to have/recover from the cataract removal, given they think I might have had a minor stroke whilst being walloped by the fever.. Never rains does it . 🤬.
Been building (slowly !) a few 35th bits n bobs, just waiting for a paint parcel to arrive from my fave onliner by covid delayed snailmail so I can git on and paint em for you lot to have a laugh at

Bummer about the illness, Gomez. That does NOT sound fun at all. (I'd never heard of it!)
Looking forward to seeing your stuff once you're back at it.

The Up-Side is, now you have a good excuse to not tackle any Photo-Etch.  The new yard looks awesome! |

Cheers guys - just to prove I've been doing things, these have crossed the line - ipad preview photos only, real photos will be posted in the relevant forum when taken - all are 1/35th, all more or less as box
Meng King Tiger (Tiger II Ausf B)
Dragon Panther G late (from the Night Fighting Panther kit)
Tamiya Wespe
Italeri DukW (from the DukW with 105mm gun kit)
There's three more to add to this lot (paint was still wet on them as these photos were taken !) All have been assembled over the last few months during days/ hours where the illness I was battling had let up sufficiantly for me to be able to use the model glue without being affected in nasty fashion by the glue fumes 😖

Hi Folks
Another hot weekend down, way too hot for me to venture outdoors during the day, so another 3 35ths crossed the line, as below (iPad photos only, proper photos to appear in a forum here in due course)....
Hobby Boss VK 1601 (Dunno wot 'appened to the muzzle brake - honest ! ) 🤬
Italeri Demag 7 mit 50mm PAK 38
Italeri FlakPanzer IV Ostwind prototype
There's also a Tamiya Nashorn and a Dragon zimeritted King Tiger (Henschel Turret variety), approaching completion 😋, after which I MIGHT allow myself to build a Panther (my fave German WW2 jobby). Got plenty of unbuilt Panthers in 35th in Tamiya, Meng, Takom, Rye Field, Amusing Hobby and Academy varieties 😀
Onwards and whichever ways 😖
GtM 😉
