    Shuttleworth Model Show

    Been to the show myself. Quite a number of years ago I used to organise Chiltern Scale Model Show in the same hanger at the Shuttleworth in early October each year, just out of their show season, and a bit warmer than February. They suddenly stopped us from running the show there. Cannot...

    Joe's 1/22 Artesania Latina San Francisco Cable Car

    Thanks Joe. Apologise for the duplicated picture whilst learning to upload.I I have to say that I learned a thing of two (or more) from your build that was quite an inspiration to follow.

    Up and coming events, where to look?

    Shows are listed in the IPMS UK magazine that goes out to all members. The IPMS UK website should carry a list of UK shows. Airfix Scalemodelworld magazine also carries a regular list of shows to go to. It was asked if you have to be an IPMS member to attend any shows. The answer is no...

    Trolleybus kits, advice sought.

    Leyton. What a coincidence. My late dad used to drive Trolley Buses in Reading. Back in the sixties the Reading Trolley Buses were taken out of service. Many towns were doing the same and a group of enthusiasts in Reading were obtaining buses from different systems, so for a while there...

    Choice of airbrush cleaner

    Each to their own Leyton. Stripping an airbrush down does become necessary every now and again and parts do need to be replaced. One of my Badgers is a 100XF that I have owned since 1973 and has constantly given me good service. In all that time I have only had to replace nozzles and needles...

    Choice of airbrush cleaner

    I use a couple of old Badgers that have Teflon seals, so quite robust when it comes to using thinning and cleaning products. Used all sorts through them Tamiya, Humbrol, Water, Airbrush cleaner, Cellulose thinners, White spirit and IPA (the chemical not the beer!). Before I put my airbrushes...

    Joe's 1/22 Artesania Latina San Francisco Cable Car

    Thanks for the feedback Joe. It was when I tried to drag and drop the image from pictures on my PC over to the attach files area in the post that instead of loading it as expected where you can see the little percentage bar filling under the thumbnail picture, all it did was fill the screen with...

    Thinking of getting an airbrush??

    I have come to this a bit late, but if you are still looking, go on to Barnwell the Badger distributor in the UK. They run airbrushing courses and sell off ex class used airbrushes at very reasonable cost that they will have checked out before selling on.

    I think I've become a collector

    We all lose our Mojo from time to time. Maybe. Just maybe Miko if you just open a kit and actually make a start instead of thinking about it too much ? Who knows?

    Shuttleworth Model Show

    Agreed it appears a bit expensive for the equivalent of a local model show, but does include access to view the Shuttleworth Collection Museum included in the fee. The car parking was free last year. The only two other model shows that are pricey are IPMS SMW at Telford ( if you are not a...

    New 2026 Italeri range....

    An SSK in 1/12th scale. I will be looking forward to that one being released. Maybe Paul might get a 1/24th scale one some time in the future from Italeri. It would be really nice if Tamiya did some of the older classics but cannot see it ever happening. Not absolutely sure but I think that...

    Chris' 1/22 Artesania Latina San Francisco Cable Car build

    Hi Chris. Did you finish your model? Thread seems to have petered out a few years back. I was following both your thread and Joe's. Your build looked to be well advanced. Over the last year or so I built this kit and did a number of additions and extra detailing along the way. I gave up on the...

    Picture loading difficulty.

    Ian If you look at the thread San Francisco Cable car I added a post after a number of years that I had completed a similar model. A reply to it asked if I had any pictures. If you search that subject you will see why. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for the image posting help in your...
