    Tamiya 1:32 F-14

    So shed is pretty much complete so now making the most of it. Had this a while and have actually started it but thought I'd do a new thread. The kit is very old, how old I don't know but looking at it I assume pre 2000. Decals are a bit on the yellowed side so will probably replace these and...

    Sheds

    Finally I am running The main cable, it's a lot of earth to move on your own! Found this chap while digging, I think it maybe a cock chaffer but could be wrong! Buried it in the flower bed as I know they are bad news for grass. Have found them before but never this developed.

    McFarlane space marine

    So I've been looking at Warhammer 40k for a while as I fancied doing something as I used to do it as a kid. After looking at the site one or two things grabbed my attention but in an unrelated search I came up with this, an unpainted marine whose about 8 inches high standing. Detail and...

    Cockpit detail

    Hi all, after a lot of air brushing I wanted to use hand and brush and get a bit of time at it. Dug out a 1/32 F-14 with cockpit detailing set and started off. Nice working on something big as I have never done a 1/32 kit before. Back seat area is almost done but I'm wondering how to add colour...

    Upcycling autoart

    Thought I'd have a bash at some upcycling and truly hand at a brake disc clock. Got some old discs off a 997 Turbo and currently cleaning up and spraying. Idea will be one will sit upright with other as a stand, spot welded inside.

    Furniture

    Decided my shed guest stool needed a bit of tlc today. No idea where it came from, just appeared one day. Looks like it's from a science lab. Anyway thought I'd make it match my tool chest and give it a new lease of life. Just needs a clear coat of lacquer tomorrow and it's done.

    Advice please - King Tiger

    Good day fellow enthusiasts, I am angling for some advice. As a plane builder I have some idea of military vehicle kits but not a lot. I have the task of buying my brother a birthday/Xmas present and think he would like a king tiger kit in 1/35. He hasn't built any of these but the planes he...

    Hornby Dublo restoration project

    Not a build as such but maybe some PE brass creation along the way. Need some practice with airbrush and thought a few old HD and Wren bodies would be a nice starting point. Planning to strip all fittings and paint, couple of undercoats and then repaint, varnish, decal and varnish again. Just...

    The next project......

    So, aside from my other rambling posts about stuff I am attempting to build with questionable levels of success I stumbled across this on eBay and could not resist buying it as it's something I have had a long standing obsession with (the real thing ideally, though I lack the funds for purchase...

    New airbrush and conpressor

    Hi all, Some help required. I currently have a very very cheap airbrush and compressor (£30 for the set off eBay). It's done me ok for a couple of builds and to try and develop some "skills" but the lack of adjustment and precision and also the air pressure is leading to splatter. I feel...

    Tamiya 1:48 Lancaster

    Afternoon all, Just started unboxing this project which is to be my second aircraft build. Last was a 1:72 Jaguar, hoping the larger parts will make this easier for me....... Anyway unboxing as as expected kit seems high quality. I am not adding an interior detailing kit as I think this is far...

    1:72 Gulf War Jaguar

    Hi all, Just completed my first build of an aircraft in many years. Isn't the best but got what I felt was a reasonable result on the body with the black outlines over white primer before three top coats of Tamiya XF desert yellow though I feel a fourth would have been good. Struggled with...

    Tamiya 1/48 Sea Harrier

    Hi all, Just purchased a Tamika 1/48 Sea Harrier and wondered if anyone has built this kit before and has any tips or hints? Seemed a reasonable buy for £7.50. James

    Return to modelling - 1:144 Revell Castle Class Corvette HMCS snowberry

    Hi all, After reading a few posts on here and frankly marvelling at what most of you are producing I thought I'd start a thread for this kit I have purchased after not building a model since I was about 15. I am about 1/5th of the way into the build and have posted a few photos below as I...
