    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    Well gentlemen. I have been an exceptionally good boy, so here is my brand new CGI, graphics and video workstation. I just have to wait now for our son to come and help me set it all up. John

    The beer cellar - in flats

    Peter This looks like a very interesting challenge. I hope you don't mind but I decided to try to render your cellar in Blender. Not perfect but I think this could be a good use of this type of software to try out dio's and lighting. John

    USS Constipation 1/120 scale Imai long suffering build

    Richard These are of a very dusty HMS Unicorn I built some years ago. You can see how the rigging runs through two blocks, is fastened to the hull and the loose end is coiled down on the deck. Hope that helps. John

    The ultimate scratch building kit

    Thanks for the interest guys. I am in steep learning curve mode with lots of experimenting. I have decided to make my man into a WW1 Tommy bust, just to see what can be done. So here is my next step with some hair and an approximate 1914 cap. Now moving on to some clothes etc. This is really...

    The ultimate scratch building kit

    I decided to see what I could do in Blender for sculpting a bust. So here are the first stages of trying out my new skills. Much more to do on it and the results are still somewhat rough but I think this is a great tool. John

    The ultimate scratch building kit

    I have been trying to learn a new model making technique. The learning curve is quite steep but after a month I am beginning to see some progress. For me this is ideal, no smelly paints or glue, no tools required infinite range of models can be built, and the required storage space for finished...

    1/72 scale figures

    I know a number of you guys like to build 1/72 scale models. There had always been a problem finding good figures in that scale. Prieser being one of the few offerings available. I just discovered this manufacturer that I think produce great figures and might interest some of you...

    Normandy Bocage diorama

    Alan You're making fine progress with this dio. I am not sure what your wood aging solution is but I suspect it is to darken and age wood. The following is a product that I use a lot for the same purpose and it is the easiest thing in the world to use. It is soluble in water so you can mix up...

    I find this a very useful tool. Here is mine which has had a certain amount of wear, as you can see. If I want to use it hands free, then the handle very simply unscrews. For even more solidity I often screw the top bit into my little desk vice. This makes a very solid base for sculpting...

    Christmas project but some new materials and techniques

    Thanks for all your indulgent comments guys. Here is the last "new" product that I will mention. UV resin Picked up on Amazon for not very much money. Clear resin and a small UV flashlight. I use this stuff to pour into the eyes to make a very nice finish. Inly takes about 20 seconds with...

    Christmas project but some new materials and techniques

    Hi all You were kind enough to tolerate my threads about puppets a while ago, and I am once again working on something a little different. Apart from the project itself I hope that one or two of these new techniques will prove of interest to you. I am going to be sculpting a fairy' head for a...

    My winter hobby

    What's on the Bench? 2021

    Hi guys I have put together my cardboard Razor from the Mandalorian. I must say it is extremely well engineered for a cardboard model. I would also like to meet the 8 year old who could assemble this because I would ask him to do my tax returns for me. Definitely needs some modelling skill...

    Tamiya German Ww2 infantry figure 1/16 scale.

    Gavin Nice job and bravo for sticking with what is not an easy subject to get right, namely figure painting. I would suggest that you have a go at a 1/10th scale bust. Pick something fairly simple. There are lots of companies that sell them, Young miniatures, El Greco miniatures etc etc. The...

    An unexpected birthday pressie. Not at all my area of interest but it does say 8+ so I may have a chance to build it. It is made of preprinted and cut, cardboard pieces. It even comes with the glue included. I will roll up my sleeves and give this a go. John
