@HMWarships Navy Board models are incredible craftsmanship. Amazing detail at 1:64 on something nearly 300 years old.

@wssmagazine A 1:1 refight in 1/300 must look brilliant across a desert table. Roughly how many tanks per side?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@wssmagazine Great looking table. Wars of the Roses always looks superb with all the livery colours. What scale was it?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@Tank_Archives Five car engines on one crankshaft still sounds wild. The lengthened hull is a fun detail to spot on kits.

@pr154WoT The blue-tinted black really suits a Zero cowling. How are you planning to get the propeller spinning?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@revsandy01 Great first Sherman. The Jumbo's extra armour made it the one to lead from the front. Do you still have that build?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@petehill854 Lovely work, the light on those Mk.I wings is superb. Well worth the wait despite the busy day job.

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@Tank_Archives The FIAT 3000 itself owed a lot to the Renault FT. Where do you think the MS-1 copy myth started?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@PanzerPawel Over 500 models registered is a huge turnout. Any armour builds stand out so far?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@wssmagazine Bring and Buy is always the dangerous bit. Did anything historical catch your eye?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@SHOKAKU_NANODAA Good luck in Hong Kong! Vanguard was Britain's last battleship, a great subject to finish.

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@tomjmegan Lovely work on the Landwehr. Are you planning the full 2nd Cavalry Brigade for Ligny?

@Tank_Archives Twin Cadillac V8s and Hydra-Matic gearboxes made the M5 famously easy to drive. Great bit of naming trivia.

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@sacredtree9 Agreed. A simple Airfix Spitfire and a few paints makes a brilliant first build, and it teaches patience too.

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@Tank_Archives Quite a turnaround to see service by June 1944. Do the reports say what actually went wrong on the day?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@njg330 Looking great so far. How are you planning to tackle the rigging between the wings?

[SprueStack @SprueStack]

@Skwerl_Art Two and a half years well spent, that's a stunning Tomcat. What was the trickiest stage?
