    Brush conditioning fluid, is it worth bothering?

    Depends what you are cleaning off. Best stuff for cleaning brushes (especially acrylics) in my opinion is Masters brush cleaner. This stuff….it is what it’s formulated to do. I get literally years out of my brushes, and this stuff certainly helps. I would clean using thinners, rinse, then larger...

    First things I’ve bought for ages…. New brushes……these are the best there are for painting figures, at least, in my opinion. Here’s why… Look at those tips…..needle sharp. They have great spring and snap as well. As to longevity, here are these two alongside an old one (at the bottom) of...

    What's on the Bench 2024

    Well, I haven’t done much recently, but I’m plodding through some little blokes on Neddies. Neds are done and based, just need the riders now… Riders are primed and will be painted next…. I’ll post more when I’ve got further along with them…

    Stinky Glue and my solution (hopefully)

    Hi guys. If you are looking to control this issue here is the regime you should follow… PPE should be your last resort. A respirator that is designed for paint fumes may not actually be suitable for protection against glue fumes. LeytonO’s idea of extracting the fumes is the better...

    The difference between what we have and what we had

    Me too, it’s one of the reasons I think of this place as my local model club, rather than just a bulletin board to show off on…. Just to annoy them more, somebody brought in a mouse….guess where it went…..

    Lest We Forget

    An interesting take from the other side of the hill is this one…. As to the battle, I’ve read a hell of a lot about it and witnessed talks given by veterans of the battle, and can say that though it killed at lot of brave soldiers and civilians, it did absolutely nothing to change the course of...

    What flew over your house (yesterday)

    Busy afternoon in North Brewham….weve had this… ……and this….. Fly over several times. The A400 was at 750 ft…..and we are at 450 ft….so it was pretty noisy…..had to look for the 767 with Bono’s though, he was a couple of miles up….but still clearly audible. Lots of helos around as well..

    What do YOU apply filler with,??

    For ninety odd percent of my filling work I use an old Xacto knife with number ten curved blade. This type of handle…… With this blade……. I’ve sanded the sharp bit smooth so it’s unable to cut into the model. I also use a small spatula like this for filler where needed. It’s also great...

    Jakko’s Sherman BARV

    Agreed ref 6pdr recuperator Jakko. I’ve had a good look this morning and the front end with the toggle bolts is the same as late mark 6pdrs. The breech end has been modified though. It looks like the cross pin was added just for this vehicle. Here are a couple of restoration pictures I’ve...

    No Chris…..this is when we had a navy….. 18 miles of warships for King George‘s review 1914…..60 battleships and battle cruisers, about the same in cruisers of all types, 80 or so destroyers and numerous smaller ships….a real sight to behold I should think…l
