    NEW TOY!

    Like most of you, I have various tools for modelling...big hammer, paint roller etc. But, I needed something that could do straight cuts without using the Dremel, even with larger blades, or hacking away with a hacksaw. Due to dodgy hands that cramp doing simple cuts in wood, plasticard etc can...

    1804 STEAM LOCO

    I have gotten rid of most of my stash and tend to concentrate on 1/16 RC and scenery pieces for our clubs home and away events...however, I found lurking under some shelves in the workshed a, Airfix 1/32 scale 1804 steam locomotive. I opened up the box and the contents were all sealed so, I...

    ADDING STUFF...I JUST CAN'T HELP IT.

    As is the norm with me I sit and stare at a model and think it could do with something extra or, I find something, normally when looking for something else, that I think...oooooh, that would look good on so-and-so. Well, it happened again. The rusty truck cab and rust pile has add a couple of...

    1/16 TRAILER MADE FROM SCRAP MODEL PARTS.

    With me in lockdown and modelling is getting tight due to a lack of bits I have been scrounging around in the parts bins for stuff. Me and the missus sorted out one of the sheds so I can store static parts for our home and away club events, at the back I found a WPL truck box with the cab and...

    1/16 SCRAP CAB AND BITS

    While I am in isolation all I can do is potter to the workshed and then back indoors. When I was finishing the RC African Rebel Toyota I came across an old cab so, it was dio time. It had to be small as it will be used as set scenery for when we have our military vehicles open days, this will...

    1/16 RC TOYOTA AFRICAN REBEL PICKUP.

    This was to be a Taliban version but I liked the African rebel type. She is 4X4, had to do some mods to the rear to hide the battery, this lifts up, all RC bits hidden in the front and mid section, used micro speed controller etc. All metal running gear and new wheels added. Repainted the...

    1/18 WORLD PEACEKEEPERS APC CONVERTED TO RC.

    This has been an idea of mine for months, to convert the World peacekeepers amphibious APC from a toy into a RC model for use with our more modern RC military vehicles. Out of the box the vehicle is modelled off the real Chinese type 90/92 and is a good representation. The wheels are just push...

    1/35 MARDER KNOCKED OUT MONUMENT.

    While I was working on the commission build and then faffing with the little sub wreck I have been working on this. Lost the tracks but all there so, I decided to do it as a monument/prize that has been left to slowly rot away. The odd coating of grey and black paint with crude camo added-I...

    SUPERGLUED MY FINGERS.

    I have been working on the sunken sub and had an idea for the stand, wanted to insert some small nuts and bolts-great, apart from one nut that non of the bolts wanted to fit on :angry: So, managed to get one nut to slightly go on-I know I will superglue it on, the back you will not see and once...

    I got a message through Ebay asking if I would do another one for the guy that bought one from me. 'Good evening..... Absolutely ages ago I bought a model of a rusty u boat submarine from you and l was wondering if you would be able to help me with creating another one. I also remember the...

    1/16 LARGE MOBILE GENERATOR.

    I wanted a large mobile generator to go with my 1/16 gantry crane. So, to the spares and bits box. Ended up using old speaker boxes from RC tanks for the main body, with lots of fiddly nuts and bolts, a old jeep chassis and various scratch made plasticard bits. It looks okay from a distance...

    Here are some piccies from our clubs gala day-this is our tank section of the club-the bit I am mainly involved with. It is evolving all the time, we only started the section last year so still getting a feel of what works and what we need. Some buildings still need finishing in painting and...

    Anti lasing prisms.

    On my 1/16 RC ZTZ I started having an issue with the turret motor-turned out to just be a noisy motor. Anyway, while off, I decided to add some glasswork to the cupola etc. I used an old CD, cut into it and then removed the silver backing leaving the bluish outer film layer. This was then cut...

    FINISHED!

    After years of tinkering and adding stuff to my 1/16 RC early Tiger I, I have finally finished her off. She is running steel gearboxes, metal sprockets, idlers and tracks, I was never happy with the too metal look of the tracks so I used the last of my mercury metallic grey to darken, this will...
