1/35 Tamiya Tiger I Late
Morning all, As someone who considers themselves an AFV modeller, I've come to the realisation that I've spent the last couple of years building cars and bikes. Time to rectify that. This is the last of 4 Tiger kits I bought as a job lot in 2017. I was pleasantly surprised to find a load of AM...- Mr Bowcat

1/24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline from 2 Fast 2 Furious - Paul T's 4x4 GB
Morning all, Finished this just before Christmas. First time working with a Transkit, a lot learned for the next one. Eldest daughter (who the build was for) was most pleased, and we managed to transport it back to her university without damage.- Mr Bowcat

A different sort of camo
Morning all. My youngest daughter has been shooting with me for around a year now, since she turned 14. At our last club shoot she did really well with one of my rifles (CZ452 .22LR) placing 3rd in the competition against seasoned shooters. I decided to designate it as her rifle, and asked her...- Mr Bowcat

Any Cricut users on the forum?
Hi guys, I'm about to inherit a Cricut plotter/cutter, with the aim to use it for making airbrush stencils. Can anyone recommend a low tack, flexible film to use? I've been looking at Oramask 810 and Frisket film, but looking for user opinions. Cheers, B -
Tamiya 1/24 Nissan R390 GT1 - Paint It Black GB
Morning All, Thanks to Ian for hosting the GB. I started this build way back on 3rd July and only finished yesterday. In my defence I did have a two month break in the middle. :) This was a nice kit let down by it's decals, and a few daft mistakes by the builder at final assembly.- Mr Bowcat

Imgur users, please note.
Hi all, Apparently Imgur have suspended service in the UK, something to do with not agreeing with some UK legislation. If you use Imgur to post your pics, UK users won't be able to see them, just a purple box with a message "Content Not Viewable In Your Region". Jut thought a heads up would... -
Modellers vice build
Morning all. :) This is not a model, but a modelling adjacent tool. I recently became aware of the Dspiae vice. Although I have no need or want of such a tool, I did appreciate the engineering behind it and decided to build my own version and thought it might make an interesting blog. This is...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya Ducati Superleggera - A bike for Tony Stark
Afternoon all, This kit was a car boot sale bargain at £15. As I'd built it "properly" before and it was cheap I decided to have some fun with it. I'd already decided on a pimped out paint scheme, but along the way someone pointed out that it was very much along the lines of Iron Man/Tony...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya 1/12 Ducati Superleggera - Take Two
Afternoon all, I build this kit a couple of years ago (thread here), and whilst I don't typically re-build the same kit, I couldn't pass this up. The original retail price for the kit (going by the box sticker) was £52.50, I picked this one up at a car boot sale last summer for £15! It was...- Mr Bowcat

Talk to me about Vallejo Premium paints
Hi guys, I'm about to embark on painting a couple of Lexan RC bodies, something I've not done for many years (around 20 or so). Back in the day I used to use SpazStix or Faskolor, but I see that John sells the Vallejo Premium range which apparently work with polycarbonates. Having never used... -
Stirling Hot Air Engine
Morning all. Another model engine, this time an external combustion heat engine. Quite interesting as to the way it works by using the heating and cooling of air in an sealed environment to create oscillation. If anyone would like to look at the plans in more detail they are freely...- Mr Bowcat

1/24 Tamiya Sauber-Mercedes C9
Afternoon all. :) I started this kit way back at the beginning of July, it was my second entry into the Racers GB. I didn't finish it in time and it has been sitting on my bench ever since. Stupidly as the GB deadline approached I rushed to get it finished, and as a result it is far from my...- Mr Bowcat

Elmers Standby #19 Model Steam Engine
Morning all. :) I decided it was time I used my machines to build something other than tooling, so I've chosen this as my first engine build. This is a model of a simple steam (or in my case air) powered engine designed my Elmer Verberg. This is a relatively cheap build, there are no castings...- Mr Bowcat

Hemingway Kits Knurling Tool
Morning all, So I've had my mill for a few months now, the lathe I've had around 4 years. Since I've had the mill I've been busy learning how to use it and decided it was time to actually build something useful. Hemingway supply kits to model engineers, including engines and locomotives, but...- Mr Bowcat

Closing ceremony
Hi guys, I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the GB participants. We had some nice and varied models, and I sincerely hope that those who have not built cars/bikes before will give them a go again in the future. I myself didn't get to finish my 2nd build despite maximum effort over the...- Mr Bowcat

Dice
Morning all. :) Not really a model per se, but within the category of model engineering. I've had a small lathe for a few years now and earlier this year added a small milling machine. My end plan is to be able to machine small engines and steam engines, but as of right now I am still...- Mr Bowcat

IT problems
Hi guys, Anyone else effected by this global IT/Microsoft issue? Our back office system is down (I work in financial services) so I'm sat here twiddling my thumbs. :( If it had of happened yesterday I was working from home and could have got on with some modelling. :)
