    Tamiya 14139team suzuki ecstar GSX-RR 20 No35

    Lovely job Si. As I may have mentioned before, this was my favourite bike kit I’ve built.

    Skyline R34

    Very nice Andy, great glossy finish.

    Fujimi mazda RX8

    Very nice, great colour. Do you add any wash to your panel lines?

    Skyline R34

    Looks good Andy. I've also built a few of these, they do really go together well.

    Scotties Skoda RSO Rich models 1/35.

    Completely missed this build Paul. Very unusual subject, and very nicely executed.

    1/35 Tamiya Tiger I Late

    Cheers Paul. Think it's going to be a long build, got so many other non-modelling projects on at the moment.

    1/35 Tamiya Tiger I Late

    Hi Chaps, Over a month on and I finally got some bench time to make a start on this. As usual, wheels and lower hull first.

    Pin stripes

    Hi Lee, I get that mate, I have a Cricut Air 2 so well used to cutting, weeding and transferring. I was just wondering what material you used. As I mentioned, I have used Oramask 810 but find it leaves a residue. Cheers, B

    Pin stripes

    Lee, what material are you using for your masks? I used Oramask 810 to make some stencils for a rifle stock, but found it left a lot of residue.

    Another polishing question.....

    A child’s toothbrush (preferably not one they are still using). Going back to the original question, I never polish before glossing, but once glossed and cured I do "flat back" before polishing. I use 6000 and 8000 Trizact pads. Just be careful on corners so you don’t burn through.

    Warning re Polishing Compounds.

    Water in your airbrush, use it as a jet washer. ;)

    Warning re Polishing Compounds.

    Have to admit I do sometimes use rotary polishing pads with Tamiya compound, but not had that issue. It may well depend on the amount of pressure applied, and the gloss coat. I use lacquer paint and gloss exclusively which may dry harder than acrylics?

    Feedback needed

    So I don't visit for a couple of days and everything’s changed. 😂 Looks good John, hope it all went smoothly.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...
