    Arizona Trumpeter 1/200th

    Nick Great modelling and I have to admit that I am very much an 18th century sailing ship nerd. I have never built Victory but I have built some frigates of the period and I am a keen painter of the period. This is the great frigate duel between Shannon and the Chesapeake. John

    LIANG 1/35 MODEL BRICK graver.

    Nothing really to do with cutting brick patterns but here is a tool some scratch builders may not have seen before but they could find useful. It is a stained glass makers pattern cutter. A form of scissors with 3 blades that cuts a uniform strip out of foil, plasticard, cardboard etc. Mine cut...

    Figure Painter's Could You Please Help

    Chris Here are my efforts. They vary from approx 11mm to about 15mm. I did a few so that I could practice and you can pick the size you want if you like them. I have given them a coat of UV resin since I know they may be going to sea and that should protect them. PM me your address and I will...

    Malayan Emergency 1/35 scale.

    Everyone I know that Mr. Race and his committee have sole authority to decide the Dog's award for modelling. However, representing the North American continent, I have decided to institute a special award for outstanding Scratchery. So I am pleased to award the first of the Simon T Memorial...

    Tamiya Wespe 1/35 scale.

    John Big fan of your architectural projects. Very well done. If it is of any use I have similar sliding doors on my old barn. This is how they work. John

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    Gentlemen you are most kind. I like the iconic pose in this figure however the sculpting is always a disappointment when it doesn't live up to expectations. I struggled a lot with any sort of likeness and just about achieved vague ressemblance. He looks pretty good from the rear though. So here...

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    Thanks again guys. Moving along his body is almost finished, just the shoes and the hands to finish off. And then there is the small issue of his head. I have realised that with my skill and eyesight I will never get a good likeness, so I am aiming for vague resemblance. Let's see what comes...

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    Thanks for all the encouragement guys. Finally made some progress yesterday. The armature is about there. Spent a while making sure to get the pose right with his head slightly tilted and his shoulders and torso looking comfortable in the chair. Now we start the hard bits. I need to add...

    John's Godfather figure sculpt

    I must be getting dumber in my old age. It took me several hours to get an idea of the chair. Version 1 is a rough styrofoam jobbie, version 2 in stiff paper then finally version 3, in MDF, and a little bit undersized since it will be the version I use and will be covered in clay to represent...
