Normandy Bocage diorama
Alan You're making fine progress with this dio. I am not sure what your wood aging solution is but I suspect it is to darken and age wood. The following is a product that I use a lot for the same purpose and it is the easiest thing in the world to use. It is soluble in water so you can mix up...- wotan

I find this a very useful tool. Here is mine which has had a certain amount of wear, as you can see. If I want to use it hands free, then the handle very simply unscrews. For even more solidity I often screw the top bit into my little desk vice. This makes a very solid base for sculpting... -

Christmas project but some new materials and techniques
Thanks for all your indulgent comments guys. Here is the last "new" product that I will mention. UV resin Picked up on Amazon for not very much money. Clear resin and a small UV flashlight. I use this stuff to pour into the eyes to make a very nice finish. Inly takes about 20 seconds with...- wotan

Christmas project but some new materials and techniques
Hi all You were kind enough to tolerate my threads about puppets a while ago, and I am once again working on something a little different. Apart from the project itself I hope that one or two of these new techniques will prove of interest to you. I am going to be sculpting a fairy' head for a...- wotan

My winter hobby
Hi all I don't post many model threads because this is my main winter hobby. I am getting a few ready for an exhibition so I thought I would just post a couple here. This is my stash. And here are a few finished pieces. First up the view from our front porch. My other summer hobby...- wotan

What's on the Bench? 2021
Hi guys I have put together my cardboard Razor from the Mandalorian. I must say it is extremely well engineered for a cardboard model. I would also like to meet the 8 year old who could assemble this because I would ask him to do my tax returns for me. Definitely needs some modelling skill...- wotan

Tamiya German Ww2 infantry figure 1/16 scale.
Gavin Nice job and bravo for sticking with what is not an easy subject to get right, namely figure painting. I would suggest that you have a go at a 1/10th scale bust. Pick something fairly simple. There are lots of companies that sell them, Young miniatures, El Greco miniatures etc etc. The...- wotan

An unexpected birthday pressie. Not at all my area of interest but it does say 8+ so I may have a chance to build it. It is made of preprinted and cut, cardboard pieces. It even comes with the glue included. I will roll up my sleeves and give this a go. John -
Advance from Normandy.
Paul Composition is very much a personal preference, however I too like to keep things fairly small. The first thing I try to do is to make sure that each part of a scene interconnects with the other parts. This can be done by colour, by physical connection or by repeated shapes. This little...- wotan

Developing a new modelling room
As far as lights are concerned Barry you might want to consider something like this that I use. This is a light panel made by VILTROX. It is about 19cm X 12cm and can run on mains or battery pack. The beauty of this device is that it can be adjusted both in brightness and in Kelvin number as...- wotan

Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby
More dining room visitors. This is a female Oriole. She appears to be madly jealous of her reflection in the dining room window since she repeatedly throws herself against the glass. Never could understand women. John- wotan

Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby
Nice shots Ron and that looks like a pretty useful little camera. We have our bird feeder hanging just outside our dining room window, so I can take photos while sitting in comfort. This is an American Goldfinch that stopped by for breakfast this morning. John- wotan
