    Whos got a cat?.......

    This is my two on the day they adopted me in June 2017: That's dozy Clyde on the left and Bonnie watching what's going on as usual. This is them a couple of weeks ago: Both fat and sassy - always wanting something. If it's not food it's fuss, if it's not fuss it's getting involved in...

    Missing post.

    Hi guys. I posted a thread about the model show at Hinckley. I'm trying to see if there is any interest but I can't find my post. It isn't in New Topics, Todays Posts or Posts Since Last Visit. Any ideas what's happened to it?

    Wot Ron tempted me to buy

    I liked Ron's recent wooden race car build and I was persuaded by that smooth talking tempter to buy a wooden kit for myself. I wanted summat a bit different so this is what I chose: Unlike Ron, who left his model in the nude - cheeky! - I wanted some colour on my build. All the parts...

    Another one for the chemists

    Hi guys. Last week I ordered 5 ltrs of Cellulose thinners for PJ to clean his A/B (He's currently using about a 400ml bottle of MLT every week which is proving expensive). Anyway, this is what arrived this morning: Is this the same as cellulose thinners? If not, is it safe for PJ to use it...

    Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday to me an' Ron! Happy Birthday to us! Edit: Oh poo! Got the shakes in my fingers as they were hovering over the 'Post' button and clicked too early! Never mind, it's the thought that counts. Hope I didn't spoil the surprise Ron!

    One for the chemists

    Hi guys. A friend of mine gave me a container of Trichloroethylene as a degreaser. I'm wondering if it would be safe to use: 1) As a styrene cement 2) As a cleaner for my A/B Any thoughts?

    H&S problem. Again!

    Hi folks. I tried to do some spraying with my H&S Ultra (2024 version) and got no air coming through the nozzle at around 20psi. I went all the way back to the compressor and checked everything in turn - hose connections, air valve into the A/B, the trigger with and without the needle and the...

    Thinning varnish.

    Hi guys. Can anyone recommend a thinner for Humbrol Gloss and Matt varnishes? Every time I try to spray them, I end up with puddles of varnish even as low as about 12 psi.

    Oh PJ!

    I got my grandson PJ an A/B set up at home a few weeks ago. He's got a H&S Ultra A/B which is a nice enough bit of kit. A week after he started using it, he brought it to me saying it wasn't spraying properly. On close examination he'd broken the tip of the nozzle by forcing the needle too hard...

    Gern's Laserart Locomotive

    Finito. Here are the pics of my completed train. A lot of fun, and though I say it myself, I reckon it looks pretty good if you don't get too close (well I'm 'chuffed' with it and that's what really counts)! Here's the tracks. You can see what they look like in the 'sprue' shots in my first...

    Back to where I left off

    Hi guys. just had a recap of Barry's wonderful Border Lanc build. It's been some time since Iast looked so had to scroll through every page to find where I'd got to. Is there any way of opening a thread at the last page you visited rather than the start?

    Gern's Laserart Locomotive

    Almost finished. I have to create some sort of coupling for the tender as I didn't get one in the kit. According to their instructions, the axles and coupling were originally supplied as round dowel. They've changed this to flat strips and I don't know if they forgot the coupling or if it was...

    Gern's Laserart Locomotive

    Some build pictures: More assembly: I left the boards on the sides so that I could add decals - just some sort of serial number. More to follow.

    Gern's Laserart Locomotive

    This is my second entry for this GB. As the title suggests, it's a wooden laser cut kit from Laserart. Normally, this is where I'd post pictures of the boxart and sprues. Unfortunately, Laserart don't sell their kits in boxes or leave the parts on some sort of sprue - and according to their...

    Decals on wood

    Hi guys. Hope someone can help. I've already finished one kit for Peter's non-injection GB but I have another in progress. It's a wooden kit which I'd like to put decals on, but I don't want to risk having to repaint the kit if I get it wrong. I don't think a coat of varnish will be enough to...

    Gern's ROKR Steam Train

    I finished a GB!! Here's my entry for Peter's excellent GB. Not up to the standard of some of the amazing stuff going on here, but I enjoyed it. So much so, I've ordered another train kit from a different company. Maybe I'll get creative and finish another build! Box art etc. And the...

    Finding older posts

    Hi guys. Anyone know how I can find a post from a few days ago? I can only see Today's, Posts since last visit and my own stuff. While I'm here, is there anyway for me to change the default font size? On my PC it's really tiny and I'm squinting through my glasses to read it.
