    What flew over your house (yesterday)

    Apologies for the picture quality, these are stills from a much more satisfying video. Popped home to see Mum and Dad briefly yesterday and was treated to a private airshow. Now while the MIdlands Air show was taking place this weekend, they are a good 20 miles from Ragley Hall so this may have...

    Uncured Resin

    Bought these two from ebay - 3D printed resin. Cheap enough that if they were useless that it wouldn't be too much of an issue. Quality at a glance looks pretty good. However on the straps on their backs the detail is soft. And so is the resin. While carving away to get some sharper detail, some...

    A cheap ebay win... Two 1/16 3D printed figures I took a gamble on. Fairly cheap but good for what I paid. And the pricey detail up kits from AFV Modeller for the 1/16 Achilles. Look extremely good at a glance.

    Always wanted to give 1/16 a go...and the creator is having an anniversary sale at the moment, so thought why not. It's huge. The size of it terrifies me!! Can of pop for reference against the upper hull. Need to decide if and what aftermarket to go for. A couple more figures and some...

    Usual great service from John the spare part that was missing from the Apache box, and he 'persuaded' me to add some items so such a small part wouldnmt get lost on the post.

    Meng 1/35 Apache AH64D Longbow

    Thanks Ian Thanks Rick Opposite side electronics bay has been done: Rest of the steps were fairly dull, so skipped them for you...and gone straight to the primer stage: This really is a fantastic kit with amazing engineering. A few details can be added, wiring, seatbelts etc, but great...

    Meng 1/35 Apache AH64D Longbow

    Really enjoying this kit. A little bit of space for some minor scratch work.

    Usual excellent value and service from John and the shop. Ordered Friday, and unusually, delivered Sunday evening. I made a slight error in that I though there might be markings/parts for early British version, but seems you have to go for a Takom model which I've not had good experiences with.

    What's on the Bench 2024

    Having lots of rudimentary fun with the proxxon. If anyone is on the fence (pun intended) about getting one, go for it.

    Got the usual bit of cash from Mum and Dad for Christmas with the instructions of 'make sure you buy something you want, not something you need.' Well I definitely don't need one of these. Popped up on Amazon for less than £100 so thought why not. A quick and clumsy play so far and I can...

    Well today has been the ultimate mojo killer: Pretty happy with the WIP on the first two Was happy with the Carrier until the tracks snapped: And to top it all off I decide to drop the base I was aiming to put them on:

    When it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Usually. However got these in a ridiculous sale on a well know, sometimes dodgy Chinese rainforest type site. Genuine serial numbers. Was cheap enough not to care if they were knock offs

    A huge thanks to @The Smythe Meister for sending me a driver (modelled by madam and her new badger). He wouldn't even allow me to cover postage. This really is a top community.

    British 1/35 WWII Driver

    Morning all, I've come stuck looking for the above for a Humber Scout Car. I can't find anything In Stock. Miniart do a selection of drivers but nothing in stock anywhere I can see, and ebay is showing a few resin drivers but nothing below £30 inc P&P which I don't really want to pay to be...
