    The state of things.

    The big question is, has Kitstop been getting sent payments for 'Jelly Cats' due to this scam that sounds to me like a very bad practical joke impacting on their business by some demented computer nerd and having to refund those duped people.

    Amazon Policy Change

    I read a joke on another forum about someone going out to repair an Evri delivery van where the parcels had been off loaded into another. After repairing it the repair guy took the van back to the address he had been given. He found no one around, so he left it in a 'safe place'.

    Airbrushing Chrome Liquid

    I have been using C1 Chrome Polishing Powder over a gloss black quite successfully. You get a good sized pot of it for your money. The idea is that you buff the powder into the gloss black until the desired finish is attained. Because it is a buffed finish it is very resilient to handling. One...

    Pendle Princess 16th scale by Bandai

    Lovely period piece model build and very impressive in 1/16th scale I think that the Bandai kit was released way back in the 70's. A company named South Eastern Finecast (Ex Wills Finecast) did a nice series of white metal steam vehicle kits in 1/32nd scale. Squires in Bognor Regis, Sussex...

    Amazon Policy Change

    Parcel delivery companies have generally got sloppy over the years. A lot of the problem stems from the drivers unrealistically being expected to do too many drops in a day by the company. Unregulated hours for van drivers, unlike hgv's with a tacho . Crap wages do not help to generate the...

    Amazon Policy Change

    That's one advantage of living in the back of beyond John. No opportunist thieves walking past your door each day. In urban areas it would seem that Amazon have changed their delivery policy just to suit themselves rather than their customers.

    Amazon Policy Change

    How will Amazon do a drone delivery to someone in a block of flats ? Lol. When able to, parcels will be dropped from a height of 12 feet I have heard. I ordered one and only kit from them that got delivered via the Amazon crush a kit system. Never again. It was not even packed and just had...

    D models ford Sierra sapphire cosworth

    You might not have gone deep enough with the wet n dry to get right through the mark. It looks like cement got on your fingers. Try rubbing it out again. Sometimes it takes a bit of doing to fully get a mat like that out.

    D models ford Sierra sapphire cosworth

    If the glazed bit with the finger mark is still loose it will be easier to rectify. Use some fine grit wet n dry abrasive paper to rub the finger mark out. It will now look like frosted glass. Get some liquid like T Cut and polish it until it becomes clear again. If the part is stuck in the...

    Do you have a hobby mancave

    Before I retired some years ago I converted the rear half of my garage into a dedicated model making studio cum workshop. I completely partitioned it off with a frame made from pallet timbers clad with half inch thick marine ply on both sides to make it a proper secure area utilising my...

    Very nice model. Not many would attempt to de Bond this kit.

    1/200 build the bismarck has been built (at last)

    And I always thought that 1/350th was huge ! Seriously though, a magnificent model to be proud of. The sort of scale ship model normally seen in maritime museums.

    Name It Plates

    I have used Name It for quite a number of name plates. Reasonably priced and very good professional look about them. Plus excellent service to replace an item with an error !

    1985 UK car park (1/43 scale)

    Interesting project. Those Vanguard models are quite nice. Must find one of their Lotus Cortina Mk2 models to rework as a car I once owned. The Allegro also reminded me of a white metal kit by Somerville from way back.

    Scratchbuilt 12th scale model of a OK Pie Cart

    Yet another lovely model of an unusual subject. Working in mainly wood and obtaining the detail, finish, lining and lettering is admirable.o

    AMT 1/25 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

    Very nice model of an American commercial. A relief to see something for a change that has not been customised.

    Nick's Heller 1/24 Renault 8 Gordini - Mr Bowcat's Racers GB

    Really nice Renault model. I had a Simca 1000 back in the sixties. Lovely little motor with a similar 'boxy' body style.
