    Airfix April Fools

    Interesting that Manns was doing that. Must be something in the water round there. This came up on my feed from the butchers opposite the Manns shop….

    Is scale modelling a cheap or expensive hobby?

    I’d say it’s got fairly high start up costs as you get kitted out, but then the cost to time ratio drops off markedly. I bought all my build kit years ago, and just replace things that wear out these days. Actual model kit costs are higher than they were, but still reasonable if you cost the...

    Anusha 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    Mate, I know skill and quality when I see it….and I’m seeing it there.

    Anusha 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    You left me in the weeds ages ago Paul…..you show far more flair on these big busts than I ever did, and your technique is way beyond me now. I’m still pretty good on the little blokes though 😁

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    More superb work Brian. Just magic.

    Anusha 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    Cool. I thought it might be a bindi, but it seemed too “perfect” and three dimensional. Looking forward to this one though, you are great at eastern skin tones.

    Airfix Bullfinches

    Looking good Ian. You are doing a great job on a really interesting subject, and these models look much better with paint on than they do in raw plastic 👍. Might be my monitor, but to me the male breast colour seems too “red”. Those I’ve seen in the flesh, so to speak, are a little more...

    Update on Ron

    This is the one that Ron did that has really stayed with me….superb modelling and a truly moving story. https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/threads/grandad-did-you-really-drive-a-railway-engine-dapol-oo-ho-class-9f-2-10-0-loco.26874/

    I wonder if Ido and the lads are going for a commemorative pint in the Clackers? I do hope so…..

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    They are about 1/56 scale Peter. 28mm is the One True Scale to me. Big enough to be detailed and easy to paint well, and small enough to get lots on the table…. If you enjoy doing these, look at Victrix and Perry 28mm figures…they are a cut above WA…..

    Mr Aqueous and Mr Acrysion

    Andy T has this spot on. The Mr range, along with Tamiya paint, are difficult to brush paint successfully, and will kill brushes quickly. I would look at water based acrylics, such as Vallejo, AK (both listed by Andy) along with Army Painter, Warpaints, Hataka et Al. There are a lot of them...

    Update on Ron

    Sad news indeed. RIP Ron, always loved the stories behind his dioramas.

    I see Chick Norris is dead

    Well, he’s pushing up the daisies now….

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Great results Andy. Glad it’s not just me that finds the aerial stuff doesn’t always stick first time……

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Looking fine Andy. Good luck with the aerial wire, always hate doing them, even using ezeline, which pretty much does what it says on the tin….

    I see Chick Norris is dead

    As an actor he made Elvis look animated…..but each to his own I suppose.

    Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito FB Mk.VI.

    Very nice result there bud. Not one of the easiest Tamiya kits in my experience, and your build is lovely.

    Airfix 1/48th SEA KING HC4

    Fabulous. What a great result! Crisp finish on a very busy subject.

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    This is wonderful work. Superbly rendered and absolutely fascinating. The way the small bits gradually add to the impact of the whole ship is an object lesson in detailing. Truly inspiring Bri. Love it 👍

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    Funnily enough, I alway like aircraft with a slight semi gloss myself, seems to bring out the shape of the airframe. Did a spitfire in flat matt once and it just looked dead…… Are you going to try and strip the Eduard decals on the 1/48?
