TALES FROM THE BUNKER
Франция
Добавлен 20 фев 2022
Mark has been making Military models for 60+ years.
Tales from the Bunker will share some of his model making and also showcase completed models.
You can also see some photos of Mark's collection here pipgower.tumblr.com/
The featured video was made by @TomleyRC on a visit here a few years back.
The remote control SS Panzer Abteilung 101. 1/16 Tamiya Tiger 1 35216 was completed by Mark in 2005 just before we moved to France. (I never want to hear the whole Zimmerit debate again!)
"Early Production, converted to Mid production built in January 1944 and used in Normandy in the Summer '44.
Anti Magnetic mine coating applied using fine grade Polyfilla, 'Eduard' metal etched detail sets used for accessories, plus some scratch build details and modifications, reduced gearing for a better scale speed & metal tracks."

This is a really good modelling video. Because it's like having a casual chat with a modeller.
Thank you.
Great to see and hear from you two again!
Thanks. It's good to be back.
Summer is always slow for modelers. Too busy outside :) Looking forward to what you do this winter.
Thank you.
This channel deserves so many more subscribers. going to make sure i give you a shout out next time i'm live.👍
I appreciate that!
Glad to see you back! I understand that it's difficult to document all of it on video!
Thanks. It's good to be back.
Very interesting update thanks, I got the same hedge trimmer last year and it’s loads better than using steps etc for trimming the hedges. The only problem I find it uncomfortable to hold. But loads better that trailing an extension lead and using steps.
Yes, it really is unwieldy.
Et pourquoi vous ne parlez jamais du musée de Pegasus bridge qui appartient a l'ASPEG Françoise Gondre'e et usurpé par le comité du débarquement,les élus et la justice qui couvre les usurpateurs qui n'ont aucun titres de propriété....et ils m'ont volé les souvenirs de mon père..
Dad flew the real one: I built a toy of one. Yet you still dont get the irony....
My father Fl/lt McAdam DFC was pilot of Friday 13th, he cut the seat to make a pouch for his Lyer Dyce, I still have it.
Thanks for your video with personal connections to the diorama. My uncle also flew, mostly as an air gunner, in Wellingtons albeit an earlier version. His plane was shot down in 1941; he survived with two others, spent some time in a POW camp, but did not make it back. He served with the RCAF in 99 Squadron, Waterbeach.
I’d bought a blow-up Sherman shell for my 25yo son on a recent trip to Bovington from Australia. He was A LOT less excited than I was! 😊 All these videos you shoot of your husband are seriously entertaining. Clearly there’s something wrong with me…
No no no, it's me that's bonkers. There is a considerable cognitive dissonance in m,y psyche, the fascination with WW2 and making models of those times, versus the horror of war I feel now. I note that Bovington also sell a blow up panzerfaust .........
🤣😂
I'll repost ..... original reply somehow lost. I'm fairly sure it's me that's bonkers not you . I have been known to build non violent things like the odd car, even a wooden boat. But -- being born just after that war, parents served in it, the remains , the obsession remains . Bovington also do a blow up panzerfaust, something else to try to avoid buying.........🙂
Which wooden ship have you built? I’ve completed Billing Boats’ Cutty Sark, Artesania Latina’s Swift, Aeropiccola’s HMS Prince, Panart’s Royal Yacht Caroline and Caldercraft’s HMS Supply. Next is Corel’s HMS Victory.
Had a holiday in Brittany many years ago, and became fascinated by the remains of boats in some of the harbours, and the demi-coques (?) models to be found in some local shops .... that were too expensive at the time. So eventually found a kit (I think it was Billings) of a Bretton sloup. A completely new medium, took some learning, but it sits in my study still. Not built anything like it since though. And nowhere near as many as you. @@johnmarley6695
Looking very nice indeed. 👌🏼
Thanks 👍
40 years to build?
All explained in the video.
Wow what realistic model top job loads of detail
Thank you.
I think they did modify the kit. I dont recognise your early version decals? I built mine in 1988-9 when the choice was either Admiral Prune or S Sugar, which flew from Bottesford where I used to live as a kid, so obviously I chose that one. I still have the box and cover and think I still have the instructions also. It has that superb interlocking wingspar doesnt it, which enabled me to dismantle and pack away as I moved houses with work a lot from 1989-until very recently. Some of my tiny parts including a couple of wing lights are missing now..
I found that the bomb aimers blister was the early shallow type, this meant that the PO.S would be incorrect. So I decided to spray most of the markings by cutting out my own stencils so it became OLQ.
Very interesting video. Beautiful work
Thank you.
Cool story!
I bought a Heller Lockheed EC121 in 1980, Assembled and in primer, but still awaiting painting and decals.
Just come across your channel interesting and the conversations best of luck to the growth of this channel.
Thanks and welcome.
I find your model making very interesting, good luck with the operation
Thank you very much!
The finish looks quite good to my eye!
I often think the worst critic of any piece of work is the artist themselves.
Absolutely.
Looks very nice
Thanks for making this really nice and informative video. With reference to the toilet habits of bomber crews, I recently read 'Enemy Coast Ahead' by Guy Gibson. He mentioned that if a bomber piot was caught short, needing to pee, there was a funnel connected to a tube which fed outside the aircraft. However, if the ground crew didn't like the officer, they would sometimes tie a knot in the tube.
Had not heard that one!
Looking great! The gunsight particularly.
Thank you.
Looking good! Aftermarket decals? Which brand?
No, in the end I used one of the kit schemes , though I did have some left over from another Hurricane I built for someone years ago.
@@markgower7163 I really enjoy these. Keep ‘em going.
I'll be interested seeing how that bug turns out! Such an unique vehicle!
Just about the silliest car I ever owned, fun though.
Great choices! I’ve enjoyed every Kinetic kit I’ve made. I hear the Sea Harrier has issues but I’m sure you’ll overcome them.
Incredibly kit ..... massive amounts of detail.
Looks fantastic, you certainly have cracked on with the build
Interesting you mention the blue, as I read the same note just yesterday. Looking awesome!
Hope you enjoy it!
My gosh those are some tiny, tiny details. Very impressive how much tiny details you can cram into these models. As much as I can appreciate the small details, but when it comes to assembly... There is a limit where things get a bit too small, and I just simply leave them out for the sake of my own sanity :D
Every double bogie wheel set had eight springs, mounted in pairs, one vinside the other. I actually lost one inner spring to the carpet monster, but it does not really show.
Yeah, I’d quite happily build one of those!
Looks like a great kit, Looking forward to seeing all the little details you're goin to add to it!
Thanks 👍
Looks absolutely fantastic, you have brilliant building skills. Also very interesting story about Eric Brown and why you decide on your next build
Thank you very much!
Great result! A much larger wing than the Do17.... agreed; Wings on my sleeve by Eric Brown is a fascinating read. Enjoy the next build.
Thanks, will do!
this should have way more views! all of your work is amazing
Thank you.
sorry forgot to say, nice channel too
Impressive details inside, gorgeous!
I was quite pleased with it in the end. Does not always go that way .......
Nice choice of vehicle, and great job on it!
Turned out pretty well finally.
Very nice build and salute and respect to your Dad from NZ ✈️🇳🇿👍
Thank you. Have been getting his medals court mounted, with his dog tags, brass locker name plate and so on.
Beautiful aircraft. One of my favorite German medium bombers. I have built several of the 1/72 scale kits (Airfix, Italari and Revell) I have several of the great Monogram Pro-modeler kits on the list to build this summer.
Somehow I begin to appreciate aeroplanes better after building a model. The He 111 is rather elegant really, despite the bent nose.
I’ve built an ICM Do17z; Brilliant kit. And I’m throwing together their model T Ford Texaco light delivery car at the moment. They’re a great fitting brand. You’re making want to build a He111. I’ve not done one. Yours is coming along nicely. I know what you mean about fascination and horrification. I discharged from RAAF last November after 27 years of avionics. All of us love the engineering but none of us want war. I’ve seen enough...Time to sit at a bench instead.
I bought a Do 17 kit years ago, only recently made it. Cannot remember the manufacturer .... and one of those models that fights you all the way. Should have waited for the ICM! The Do 17 is a particular interest : my father was not old enough to join up until later in the war (Served as Air Gunner, mid upper, 77 Squadron Halifax BIII, February 45 on) But when an aircraft crash was seen, he set off with a mate on a motorcycle to reach the site before Police or Home Guard, scrump as much as possible and get away . So I have a Dornier maker's plate for a 17. And a wheel and tyre from a Messerschmitt 109 brought down near Chilham in Kent in 1940 ..... with a Dunlop tyre, which used to confuse me. Yup, the ICM kit is good, generally fits together well, I'll have to look at what else they do. And the dissonance ..... I am still shocked at how similar Putin's rationalisations sound to Hitler's ----- hasn't quite claimed it is his last territorial claim on Europe, but only just. And somewhere deep down I want to believe human kind is becoming more mature, sensible, sane, but Ukraine and much else says it ain't.
Looks absolutely fantastic
Love the interior details! very interested in seeing the finished truck!
I still have vague hopes for an after market crew , based on the cast of the film. Unlikely I know, but ......
@@talesfromthebunker6924 Yeah seems highly unlikely. All tough someone with a resin 3D printer might be able to make those for you :)
Very good work again!
I appreciate that, thank you.
The fact there is no locating pins makes it sound very fiddly to assemble. Great that there is a lot of detail and such, but locating pins on such fine detail is pretty crucial in my book
It does add to the struggle rather
Looks like i'm going to have to add this to my stash. Looks like a cracking kit! The box art is a bit confusing though. Surely Katy was khaki for the desert not Olive drab ?
Think it was a special addition of the kit -- with two options : one as shown on the box top, British Army green, with a figure representing Princess Elizabeth, from that well known photograph of her when serving in the WRAC as an ambulance driver (though she is not named in the ' structions) The instructions show it as being in an almost russet brown, quite wrong, there WAS. though a khaki brown shade used early on. The second option is the one from the film, in desert yellow or stone. Extraordinary kit -- masses of small parts, often quite fragile if small. I get the impression it is all strictly to scale, i.e. vulnerable and fragile. I will continue though, it is a good kit. Possibly the Airfix version is engineered to be rather less vulnerable!
@@talesfromthebunker6924 Just ordered 1 for the stash, Nice to know before hand it will be highly detailed. No biggie about the camo scheme tbh. Wonder if theres a 1/35 "Ice cold in alex" crew! :)😁
Your wife is correct!
