    AFV's Husky Mk III

    Just thought I'd share some pictures of my latest build. Lovely little kit if you ignore the AFV instructions :) It will sit nicely along side my other "American Desert Power" builds :) I painted it with the Meng U.S Modern vehicles set of colours, applied oil washes and then scrubbed it with...

    Italian Tornado Solo Display Paintjob

    I was never really a fan of the Tornado until I started going to the Mach Loop and now I'm itching to make one. The thing is I like flashy and I don't think you can get any more flashy than this little beauty, I spent 4 hours at Cosford on Friday waiting for the arrivals for the airshow and it...

    Trumpeter Rivet tool?

    Hiya, I've got a Trumpeter Rivet tool and was wondering if anyone knows which scales are which on the lettered wheels? There are four wheels lettered A,B,C and D but no indication which scales they are. Thanks Adrian

    Since I've been gone........

    I started a new job at the beginning of the year after taking last year off :) I haven't been idle though at my bench and so as you'll see I've built a varied selection of kits to display with my new club. A bag of Bassetts Wine Gums for the first person to name them all correctly, one will trip...

    Ade's 1:500 Into Darkness Enterprise

    Figured I would show my finished Enterprise off. I used Raven Scales Model lighting system, which includes sync navigation lighting, defelector dish light and Warp nacelle lights. In contrast to the other build on here I didn't use the grey decal sheets that come with the kit as factually they...

    My new build space

    Thought I would share my new build space, I'm not calling it a man cave as I have lots of natural light through the window :P It may not be to everyone's taste but I've built it for me and considering I use to build on the corner of a chest of drawers I'm well happy with it. Must say a...

    Clear Resin ?

    Hi all, Anyone able to recommend a clear resin kit, I'm looking to cast some parts for the Star Trek Deep Space Nine Defiant in clear resin so I can add lighting. I've have a look but the ones I've seen so far tend to be jewellery or specimen type resins, would these do the job? Thanks...

    Just 5 days left!

    Well, the house is starting to echo now its so empty, with only five days till I have to be out I've managed to get most of my things across to the new place. The hard part has been coming across things I have stored from my childhood, comics, board games, Subbuteo and Scalectrix. I even...

    Soooooooo Bored!!!!

    I did the really smart thing of packing away all my modelling stuff ready to move and now I'm really bored on the evenings! It gets worse as I realised I have another 4 weeks to go! I could unpack things but figure I will just try and read up as much as I can and plan what to buy first but its...

    So after the house sale fell through in February it went back on the market and within a week I accepted an offer again, I've kept it to myself and a few close friends until Thursday when the contract paperwork actually came through :) Now its a case of finding a place to rent with my friend...

    Babylon 5's Whitestar One

    After having this resin kit for over two years I decided to get it built and so here's the finished kit. I used Mr Hobby paints for the main colours and though you can't see it in the pictures it has a Pearl Essence white paint ghosted on, believe me you can see it in the flesh so to speak :)...

    MENG's 6X6 U.S COUGAR MRAP VEHICLE

    I have to say I absolutely love MENG kits, everything you need is in the box, the parts fit perfectly and the instructions are very clear to understand. I plan to make a diorama up with this as the centre piece, I've started the EOD team and support crew so It won't be too long before the...

    Whitestar from Babylon 5

    I've had this resin kit a very long time and keep coming back to it, mainly as when I first had it there was so much cleaning up and rubbing down to do I lost interest. In the last few months I've been working away at it as I wait for other projects to dry/set. I was getting on really well...

    U.S Check Point troop colours?

    I don't usually do figures but find myself having to do a few for a current build but struggling with the paint colours, the box calls out for colours that don't match the art work. So can anyone advise me from the box art, normally I use Tamiya colours but if need be I'll go with Vallejo :)...

    Ade's F-4F Phantom II WTD 61 "Flight Test"

    Finally got round to finishing my little Phantom. Some people will know how I struggled with this, partly through my own stupidity and partly through incorrect paint guides! All told this was my third set of decals and I can't tell you how many times it nearly went in the bin! Anyway its all...

    Pepsi/Coke 1:35th cartons?

    Anyone know of somewhere in the UK I can get some of these for a diorama I am working on? I've seen some in Spain but was hoping to shop closer :) I recall a few years back seeing one sheet with all sorts of items on there, soap powder boxes, ciggarette packs, drinks cases etc Any help...

    Modern US Military vehicles, undercoat?

    As I can't model right now due to an operation to remove skin cancer right next to my right eye I thought I'd do a little research on an upcoming build. I have Mengs Cougar to do later this year, now most pictures I've seen are showing it near perfect condition but I'd like to add some...

    Fixing metal to Resin?

    As the title says I'm looking for the best method of fixing some metal parts onto resin, there not small parts and will make up a sub structure so needs to be tough. Would I be best of using an epoxy? Here's an idea of the parts that need to be fixed in place, oh and a bonus point if anyone...
