H&S problem. Again!
Hi folks. I tried to do some spraying with my H&S Ultra (2024 version) and got no air coming through the nozzle at around 20psi. I went all the way back to the compressor and checked everything in turn - hose connections, air valve into the A/B, the trigger with and without the needle and the... -

Thinning varnish.
Hi guys. Can anyone recommend a thinner for Humbrol Gloss and Matt varnishes? Every time I try to spray them, I end up with puddles of varnish even as low as about 12 psi.- Gern

Oh PJ!
I got my grandson PJ an A/B set up at home a few weeks ago. He's got a H&S Ultra A/B which is a nice enough bit of kit. A week after he started using it, he brought it to me saying it wasn't spraying properly. On close examination he'd broken the tip of the nozzle by forcing the needle too hard... -

Gern's Laserart Locomotive
Finito. Here are the pics of my completed train. A lot of fun, and though I say it myself, I reckon it looks pretty good if you don't get too close (well I'm 'chuffed' with it and that's what really counts)! Here's the tracks. You can see what they look like in the 'sprue' shots in my first...- Gern

Back to where I left off
Hi guys. just had a recap of Barry's wonderful Border Lanc build. It's been some time since Iast looked so had to scroll through every page to find where I'd got to. Is there any way of opening a thread at the last page you visited rather than the start? -

Gern's Laserart Locomotive
Almost finished. I have to create some sort of coupling for the tender as I didn't get one in the kit. According to their instructions, the axles and coupling were originally supplied as round dowel. They've changed this to flat strips and I don't know if they forgot the coupling or if it was...- Gern

Gern's Laserart Locomotive
Some build pictures: More assembly: I left the boards on the sides so that I could add decals - just some sort of serial number. More to follow.- Gern

Gern's Laserart Locomotive
This is my second entry for this GB. As the title suggests, it's a wooden laser cut kit from Laserart. Normally, this is where I'd post pictures of the boxart and sprues. Unfortunately, Laserart don't sell their kits in boxes or leave the parts on some sort of sprue - and according to their...- Gern

Decals on wood
Hi guys. Hope someone can help. I've already finished one kit for Peter's non-injection GB but I have another in progress. It's a wooden kit which I'd like to put decals on, but I don't want to risk having to repaint the kit if I get it wrong. I don't think a coat of varnish will be enough to... -

Gern's ROKR Steam Train
I finished a GB!! Here's my entry for Peter's excellent GB. Not up to the standard of some of the amazing stuff going on here, but I enjoyed it. So much so, I've ordered another train kit from a different company. Maybe I'll get creative and finish another build! Box art etc. And the...- Gern

Finding older posts
Hi guys. Anyone know how I can find a post from a few days ago? I can only see Today's, Posts since last visit and my own stuff. While I'm here, is there anyway for me to change the default font size? On my PC it's really tiny and I'm squinting through my glasses to read it. -

Gettin' desperate!
Knowing there's a wealth of knowledge on here I hope someone can help. I've just bought a 2007 Mercedes A class to replace my 2008 E class CDI in the hope of reducing my car expenses. I've been insuring through a pay per mile broker who unfortunately can't renew my policy as they're changing... -

Painting wheels
No. Not the one about how to paint tyres! Nothing spectacular, but how many times have you had to paint the two sides of a wheel in two sessions 'cos you need to put it down when you've painted one side? Wrap a bit of tape around the wheel: Grab the tape as close to the wheel as you can get...- Gern

Quinta Studios 3D decals
Hi guys. Does anyone know of a UK supplier for Quinta 3D decals? I placed an order with them direct last month and I'm having major problems finding out where my order has got to. Although Quinta acknowledge payment and have given me an order number and tracking number, all I've managed to... -

Build videos.
I spend lots of time looking at build videos in the hope of picking up tips to help with my modelling and find information about how well a kit builds. Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up of looking at videos where only 20% of the time is spent on the kit build and all the rest is devoted to... -

Gallery Models?
Hi guys. I picked up the 1/48 Trumpeter H-34 helicopter at the show on Sunday. I need some masks for the windows (they have round corners which makes it awkward using tape) and found a Eduard set. It's described as a mask set for a Gallery Models kit so I had a look on Scalemates. It's the...
