    Stalingrad II....Children of the Grave.

    Can't call that beautiful - because of the subject matter - as I usually do, but still an excellent piece of work.

    So who is Pendergast? I was referring to the CoC kept in the care of Ponder Stibbons at the Unseen University.

    What to use to hold small parts? eg: clamps, vice, Blu-tack, pegs, etc....

    Double sided sticky tape on a coffee stirrer works well with the added advantage that unlike BluTack, it doesn't 'creep' up the sides of the part when you press it down into the BluTack which can leave unpainted edges. A combination of a mini crocodile clip held in a clothes peg has the...

    Sticking stuff?

    I have an idea for a diorama that requires sticking a 3D printed building to a foam base painted with ordinary domestic emulsion paint. Can I use PVA or will I need any special adhesive? I should mention that this won't be used for wargames so the bond does not need to be super strong.

    Spares?

    I have a large box of spares - from the 1/16 HobbyBoss Tiger which I may get round to finishing since it's been sat on the shelf for 5-6 years now. I get lots of spares because I don't finish a large percentage of the kits I start - but even then I find it really hard to find bits that are...

    Nice. I remember buying one of these but for some reason lost in the mists of time I never built it.

    Anybody know about MOT tests?

    I bought a car last September which had just got a new MOT from the dealer valid until October this year. On my way home, I got a warning light on my dashboard about the brakes. I thought I'd play it safe so I booked an independent garage to carry out a fresh MOT a week later. They failed the...

    Whos got a cat?.......

    This is my two on the day they adopted me in June 2017: That's dozy Clyde on the left and Bonnie watching what's going on as usual. This is them a couple of weeks ago: Both fat and sassy - always wanting something. If it's not food it's fuss, if it's not fuss it's getting involved in...

    Missing post.

    Hi guys. I posted a thread about the model show at Hinckley. I'm trying to see if there is any interest but I can't find my post. It isn't in New Topics, Todays Posts or Posts Since Last Visit. Any ideas what's happened to it?

    Wot Ron tempted me to buy

    I liked Ron's recent wooden race car build and I was persuaded by that smooth talking tempter to buy a wooden kit for myself. I wanted summat a bit different so this is what I chose: Unlike Ron, who left his model in the nude - cheeky! - I wanted some colour on my build. All the parts...

    Another one for the chemists

    Hi guys. Last week I ordered 5 ltrs of Cellulose thinners for PJ to clean his A/B (He's currently using about a 400ml bottle of MLT every week which is proving expensive). Anyway, this is what arrived this morning: Is this the same as cellulose thinners? If not, is it safe for PJ to use it...

    One for the chemists

    Hi guys. A friend of mine gave me a container of Trichloroethylene as a degreaser. I'm wondering if it would be safe to use: 1) As a styrene cement 2) As a cleaner for my A/B Any thoughts?
