    Dunkirk "vignettorama"

    Ok, i made the word up, but it sort of explaines what I am planning for this project. A few years ago I made a diorama depicting troops getting into one of the 'little boats' of Dunkirk, and a couple of vignettes depicting troops returning from Dunkirk. For this project, which is going to take...

    Angel Interceptor - Rhapsody Angel

    Finished. A short but fun project. It is an old kit and it shows, quite a bit of filling was needed. The other aspect I don't like about the kit is that it has raised panel lines. i admit to not being anything approaching an expert regarding aircraft but I cannot recall seeing aircraft with...

    Angel Interceptor - Rhapsody Angel

    Hi all here a couple of photos of Rhapsody. Taken on the Ipad so sorry for the poor quality. I have cut away the part of the helmet which would be transparent and painted it her hair colour, next I will add a drop of glue in place to represent the perspex helmet. After carving away most of...

    Angel Interceptor - Rhapsody Angel

    Hi Guys After paying over the odds for an Airfix kit of the Angel Interceptor aircraft I just have to build it, and it really is a simple kit, not many parts: the oddest thing is that the figure seems to be an 'off the shelf' pilot, a male figure so this evenings work will be to slightly...

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    I remember having one of these back in the 70's and for a long time I have wanted one. Not sure why but I got one off ebay, even at £25 it's way over priced but I sold a couple of busts so thought I would treat myself. There aren't many parts so it should be a simple build, simple but fun. Peter

    Queen Alexandra's Imperial Nursing Service

    Hi Guys Back on a bit of a roll, and finished painting Sarnia Miniatures latest bust - a major of Queen Alexandra's Imperial Nursing Services. I found it a bit of a challenge since it is large blocks of smooth colour - not many places to hide! Peter

    Most pleasurable builds

    This was probably my most nerve-racking, frustrating but most satisfying because of there was no going back once the Huey was chopped in half, and the engineering of supporting the Huey through the leg and arm of the single marine Was a new challenge. Peter

    Car treasure hunt?

    Hi all i mentioned this to my son who is at Uni and none of his mates had ever heard of such a thing, which got me wondering - they cannot possibly be only a Guernsey thing? So I thought I would post this to see how commonplace they are. it is a social event used to raise money for clubs etc...
