Sculpt for art classes: Barry
Hi all From time to time I give classes to one of our local art groups. My next one is on portrait drawing so I decided to sculpt this as an aid to facial structure. He is called Barry since early on his teeth made him look like Barry Gibb. He is at approx 1/3 scale so just over 3 inches high...- wotan

Sadistic Christmas gift
So someone bought me this for Christmas (SWMBO). This is an almost impossible kit to assemble, as anyone who has ever had one of these Metal Earth kits will know. It is all made out of steel photo etch that is prepainted. It is a sadistic gift for someone like me, who is not a great model...- wotan

Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory
BTW Brian where the stays are shown going through the hull you could always attach them later by fixing a very small eye bolt in the hole. These are easily made by turning a piece of thin copper wire around a pin or similar and cutting to length. On many ships this is in fact how the...- wotan

Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory
Brian These look like STAY fasteners. I suspect the PATH column may refer to the piece number to which the stay will be attached. For those lines that are doubled through a block the only concern is to make them the same length on matching sides. As Tim mentioned for those lines that are not...- wotan

Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory
Brian If you PM me your address I'll send you this. You should find it helpful for some of the rigging. I won't be using it anymore. John p.s. It might take a week or two in the old birch bark canoe to cross the pond.- wotan

Computer Games
Yes I am one of those who enjoys the odd computer game or two and was seduced by the launch of STARFIELD. I got it through Steam and it took about 20 hours to download on my internet connection. I have only really just unwrapped it but I have too say, for anyone who is interested in space...- wotan
