    The work trip has brought me to Vancouver (one of my favourite places on the planet). Anyway...found the most amazing model shop about an hours walk from the hotel, and I've never seen a place like it. The most unbelievable selection of models, tools, paints and aftermarket. There was literally...

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    As I have said before…my career has not recovered from Covid, and since Christmas I have been really struggling financially, most months worried about the rent. However, I have a consultancy role for two weeks that will pay quite well, and has me out in Singapore, where there are some fantastic...

    Historic England arial photos

    Very interesting. Just had a look to see what home looked like, to see an interesting build up across the road. A bit of research, and apparently it was a POW camp full of Italiens. The blue circle indicates the house (which has been in the family three generations, but not in 1946) and I’ll...

    Jack's Bronco 1/35th Versuchsflakwagen Fur 8.8cm Flak.37

    Calling this done I think. May have a bit of tinkering left to do, but it will do for here. I did have a crew to go with it, but I decided they wouldn't actually add anything, and the unusual vehicle would speak for itself. Really happy with it. As for the model, a really enjoyable build...

    What's on the bench 2022

    I was really happy with these...struggling with figures more often than not and then I took a photo, and zoomed in . Feels like I may as well give a small child a selection of poster paints. The three maybe four on the left are alright...need pupils still but the faces on the right look awful!

    Bought this a while ago (within 12 months I believe) and come to use it finally, and it's rock solid. Believe is should be a paste? Has anyone had any luck 're-activating' it?

    As one of those weird individuals who doesn't like hot drinks...I could not understand the fuss in the queue behind me. I left a couple in the pot...

    What's on the Bench? 2021

    Bought this at a pretty reduced price and jumped it up the queue as a change of scenery. Never done any wargaming or fantasy subjects before, but I do like Lord of the Rings so thought I would give it a go (and heavily inspired by @Tim Marlow‘s efforts). I think I would have been disappointed if...

    Thanks Jim. Think I have finally learned a bit of patience with this one! Today’s progress has been the exterior of the little railway shed. I have definitely gone over the top with the creeping shrubbery, but it’s to hide the texture of the foam board, and I like the effect so it’s staying...

    What's on the Bench? 2021

    While the railway diorama has completely taken over the top floor of the house...there was just enough space on the coffee table to throw this together. Considering I'm usually a complete Scrooge until a couple of days before, I'm quite proud of myself.

    Thank you Tim. Thanks Scottie. I just managed to snap the door off! So other than breaking the stove, managed a little progress today: made a door. Not overly happy with the hinges, but they will do. All cut from pewter sheet. The ring on the latch stamped twice with two sizes of hole punch...
