    Connie came home yesterday evening. No instructions included unfortunately so will have a look on scalemates. I think about 1/6th scale, so not what I’m used to. Have bought a ton of aftermarket to go with. Q

    A (re) Introduction

    As I didn’t introduce myself when I joined: Morning all, I’m Jack and currently living in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.Think I am probably one of the ’less experienced’ members here at 34. Modelled as a junior with Dad (who now makes incredible scratch built metal working trains) and then by...

    Well not modelling related...but this little lump comes home next week, and will likely detract from bench time. Connie

    Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby

    Just as I was about to start mowing: a murder in the garden. Unbelievably, the camera was to hand. A Sparrowhawk with one of the local Starling youngsters.

    What's on the bench 2022

    Bank Holiday mojo high, and still waiting on a delivery of AM tracks for my other project...so thought I would have some fun practicing some more scratchery on a toon.

    Jack's Jagdpanther 314

    Tried to go historically accurate for the first time. A fairly well photographed vehicle, 'cept I have merged the photos into one. Meng's Jagdpanther G1 with Voyager PE. Zimmeritt is half milliput, half Tamiya epoxy putty. I found the Tamiya Putty too hard (consistency) to work with. Milliput...

    Thank you John. Other than the WNW, there is nothing that I couldn't get delivered at home, more the pleasure of being in a physical shop and having the box in your hand. I'm honestly tempted. And not just for the models... Sorry...off topic I know!

    The work trip has brought me to Vancouver (one of my favourite places on the planet). Anyway...found the most amazing model shop about an hours walk from the hotel, and I've never seen a place like it. The most unbelievable selection of models, tools, paints and aftermarket. There was literally...

    As I have said before…my career has not recovered from Covid, and since Christmas I have been really struggling financially, most months worried about the rent. However, I have a consultancy role for two weeks that will pay quite well, and has me out in Singapore, where there are some fantastic...

    Historic England arial photos

    Very interesting. Just had a look to see what home looked like, to see an interesting build up across the road. A bit of research, and apparently it was a POW camp full of Italiens. The blue circle indicates the house (which has been in the family three generations, but not in 1946) and I’ll...

    Jack's Bronco 1/35th Versuchsflakwagen Fur 8.8cm Flak.37

    Calling this done I think. May have a bit of tinkering left to do, but it will do for here. I did have a crew to go with it, but I decided they wouldn't actually add anything, and the unusual vehicle would speak for itself. Really happy with it. As for the model, a really enjoyable build...

    What's on the bench 2022

    I was really happy with these...struggling with figures more often than not and then I took a photo, and zoomed in . Feels like I may as well give a small child a selection of poster paints. The three maybe four on the left are alright...need pupils still but the faces on the right look awful!

    Insta Sno

    Bought this a while ago (within 12 months I believe) and come to use it finally, and it's rock solid. Believe is should be a paste? Has anyone had any luck 're-activating' it?
