    Canopy frames

    PJ is working on a Revell 1/48 Ju52. I got him to have a go at painting the canopy frames and I gotta say I am impressed with this - especially as it was done freehand with no masking and no clean-up.

    Micro set removing paint

    PJ is trying to decal his Mustang kit. It's been sprayed with VMA Aluminium paint and he tried to fix a decal using Micro set. Good job he was watching what he was doing as the Micro set started to take the paint off. Is this common? If not, does anyone know why it happened?

    PJ's 1/24 Italeri Transit Police Van

    Finito! Didn't fancy leaving the back totally empty so knocked up some seats. I don't know if there were ever any fitted to the real vans, but it wouldn't surprise me. Enjoyable build apart from losing bits of paint and decals (I still had the decals left over from my build so no...

    Help needed to find a thread on the forum.

    A couple of weeks ago - maybe a little more - someone posted a thread and showed a couple of pictures of two very old, scratchbuilt/cardboard ships. Does anyone remember it? If so could you put up a link please?

    Pneumonia? You can keep it!

    Felt absolutely fine the week before last. Pottered about doing all my usual stuff and went to a pub quiz on Thursday. All day Friday I was fine and had an early night (about 0200 Sat am which is early for me). Woke up in the wee small hours of Saturday with violent convulsions, sickness and...

    Gern's Revell 1/35 GTK Boxer sgSanKfz

    Made some progress but by all the Gods it's slow going. I've already said I'm using EMA Plastic Weld as my Tamiya cements have real trouble with this plastic. Trouble with EMA is that it evaporates so quickly - literally in the time it takes to get the brush out of the bottle and lined up with...

    PJ's 1/24 Italeri Transit Police Van

    's about time for some progress pics. This is the second time I've been involved with this kit and it's just as good as I remembered. No issues with fit anywhere and only tiny bits of flash to deal with. If anyone wants a 'shake 'n' bake' Transit kit, this is the one...

    What am I missing about this advert?

    There's a TV advert at the moment from one of those companies that allow you to trace your family history. This particular advert shows a man and woman sleeping together. The voice-over tells us that this is Wendy and her husband Alan has just found out that one of his forebears was in the...

    Money puzzle

    My brother sent this to me today - the sadistic b****r! Suppose you have £50 for your birthday and want to spend it. You write down two columns. One showing how much you spend and one showing how much you have left. Like so: Spent Money left Now start filling in the amounts: Spent...

    Gern's Revell 1/35 GTK Boxer sgSanKfz

    Made some progress. It's much bigger than I thought. Gotta start splashing paint around before I fit the driver's compartment but as I'll have the thing on it's back a lot while I'm fitting all the underside bits, I'll leave that until later. Couple of points though. PJ had a go at an old...

    PJ's 1/24 Italeri Transit Police Van

    This is what I recommended to PJ for this GB. Some of you will remember I butchered this some while ago to create an old, neglected van used by the rock group 'Blood Angels'. Hopefully PJ will end up with a pristine, well-maintained Police van. Meanwhile, sprue shots:

    And we're off. Sprue shots for my GB build. Seems a lot of parts for what looks like a box on wheels.

    Don't understand.

    Hi guys, just put a new post in 'The Amusement Park' section. How come it - and many of the previous posts there - don't appear under 'Recent Posts'?

    Here again!

    Some time ago, I asked about an issue I had with Vallejo paint not drying. Well I'm here again with the same issue. PJ sprayed some VMA Aluminium, thinned about 10% with water and well mixed, on his GB Mustang last week. When he picked it up to do more work on it today, it was still slightly...

    Magnifying spectacles

    Hi guys. Went to my opticians today to find I needed new specs. Nothing too serious, he thinks my eyesight is pretty good for an old guy. While there, I asked him about magnifying specs - the sort you can wear over your existing glasses - for close up work. He has recommended I try a set with...

    Tamiya X-22 gloss varnish.

    Hi guys. I used some really well shaken Tamiya gloss varnish for the first time yesterday. It was sprayed at about 25psi using a 0.4mm nozzle on top of Tamiya XF paint which had had 3-4 hours to dry. My question is, how come I've got a better matt finish than I would have done if I'd used a...
