    Happy Liberation day

    Following Lee's thread Happy VE Day I thought i would post one for our Liberation Day. today is the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Channel Islands from German forces in 1945 - after almost exactly 5 years of occupation. This is the main 'national' celebration in Guernsey...

    Lockdown - the mother of invention?

    Hi Guys thought you may be mildly interested - the wheelbarrow I fixed during the first lockdown in 2020 is still going strong. Well, strong may be stretching it a bit; it is a bit wobbly but it is still usable after 4 years. had it not been for lockdown I would have probably bought a new...

    I remember when. . .

    I'm really fortunate that we still have a Modelshop: It has moved twice since my first kit in the 60's but the original proprier, John Cox (pictured), is still there most days, although it is his son Steven who now runs the shop. A modelshop in second generation management - that must be a...

    English Civil War - Cavalry charge!

    I'm back on this project, after the distraction of a WW1 Whippet and some other stuff, and almost finished the first horse - the fallen horse. Painting the horse was a fairly straightforward process; firstly the horse was airbrushed with Vallejo acrylics, a shade close to the final colour...

    WW1 Whippet

    Hi Guys as part of my break from ECW cavalry I thought I would do a little 'kit-bashing' and found this in my stash - the Meng Whippet. it is a nice little kit which goes together nicely - the tracks clip together form flexible single link tracks, very nice. it was painted using Tamiys...

    What a right carrier on ...

    I do like the Riich Carrier kits, in some ways they are over detailed and not for a novice, but far, far better than the old Tamiya kit. One weak area I have found with the kits is the attachement for the wheels - small and it is difficult to attach the wheels so they are correctly aligned, and...

    Modelling with non-modelling tools ...

    Here's one I almost forgot: the first photo shows a 'Heath Robinson' contraption which can hold two plastic bottles of paint - Vallejo or similar... the back metal bar, a jigsaw blade, fits into my jigsaw like this: It is a bit of a beast but with it I can shake 2 bottles of paint at a...

    Modelling with non-modelling tools ...

    I am sure that I am not alone that as part of my modelling toolbox I have tools which were never designed for modelling so I thought it might be a bit of fun, and informative, if we shared them. i am not thinking if tools which are used as designed but for modeling - such as pliers or hammers'...

    English Civil War - Cavalry charge!

    Update time. all of the cavalry are virtually sculpted and the musketeers have reached a mixed stage - some virtually finished, others need a bit more sculpting as well as helmets and weapons fitted - these will be fitted after painting. Some of the hands have been fixed to the weapons and...

    English Civil War - Cavalry charge!

    The result of this evening's work. The left fore leg has been strengthened, not because it is a supporting leg but because it was cut into 3 parts and I know that if I just glued them together they are likely to brake during the build/painting process - better safe than sorry! I used milliput...

    English Civil War - Cavalry charge!

    I couldn't resist having a think about this - something about the composition has been niggling me; it just didn't seem right. I think 'i have realised what it is. ECW cavalry tended to charge close together in a line, or a series of lines, so that on the whole they reach the enemy at the...

    English Civil War - Cavalry charge!

    Sorry about the poor photos - here is an update: the mounted figures and horses are all about 90% sculpted. The tails and bits will be added to the horses later, just before painting to reduce the risk of them being broken off. Regardi the figures; they needs some refining and general tidying...

    Spots on the Internet (2023)

    Difficult to tell from the photo but it look like Takom have repeated the mistake with the roof. It looks like thay have produced it with the normal Hetzer roof, when the actual flammhetzer had a large hatch in the middle of the roof. Peter
