    The beer cellar - in flats

    Hi Guys i have managed to finish this. Not quite as good as I had hoped - my excuse is that I have a couple of weeks still to leave my left eye to settle after the cataract op and so do not have very good close vision until I can get my new reading/modelling glasses. The frame is not fixed...

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    The trouble with not being able to do much in the way of modelling - only a little bit of painting - it gives me too much time to think up ideas and plans which invariably results with me buying something - and moving to a scale I don't often use, 1/72 scale. This arrived today: I am am...

    A milestone day today (it shoud havd been last week but it was delayed) - the cast has come off. It has been replaced with a removable support thingy which I need to wear if I go out of do anything, just to protect it. It is surprising just how quickly muscle mass is lost; the big muscle that...

    The beer cellar - in flats

    Nice work John - very atmospheric. A little too complicated for me, I'm opting for something a bit simpler. a bit more time was spent working on the layout and decided to simplify the design by lowering the rear platform to a single 3mm step - just enough to ensure the figures in the back row...
