    Car Boot Finds!

    Many years ago I was visiting my daughter who lived in the Crystal Palace area, and she took me to a local car boot/craft fair. Not really my scene but these took my eye, and very cheap as well so I bought them on a whim! Gregg

    Vallejo Model Colour!!!!

    While browsing another site I came across this thread! I can't vouch for it's accuracy though. 'Before you thin your Vallejo Model Color for airbrushing, specifically the Model Color line and not any of the other lines, read the label. Some of them contain cadmium, a very toxic heavy metal...

    Vallejo matt Varnish

    Any ideas, I have used this medium before with no problem, however a couple of days ago I gave some of my figures a final coat. I thought it may be a problem with that particular bottle, so I opened a new one with the same result. Very vigorously shaken, decanted and then stirred again. This...

    Citadel Problem!

    I have never used Citadel paints before, however recently I noticed them in one of my local shops. A couple of the metallics looked interesting so I bought them, here starts my dilemma. On opening the cap (with great difficulty) they appear to be a paste, I tried stirring (vigorously) only to...

    The first ever 3D printer to be sold on the UK high street hits shelves today!

    I wonder how long before the price comes down to a level we can afford? It's for sale at Maplins for £700 and the refills are £29-99p When normal printers first came on the market, they were very expensive. Now you can pick one up for less than £30. This could change our hobby quite...

    Plastic Etch Primers

    I have seen many questions on here about preparation or not for our plasic/resin works of art (Toys in my wifes opinion) i thought i would throw in my pennyworth as we all have different views/ideas on this subject! Although I have only just returned to plastic modelling, I do have some...

    Civilian Relics Found In Cyprus

    Following on from my military relics found while living in Cyprus, here are a few civilian vehicles dotted around the Island for the car fans. Over the years the restrictive laws/legislation regarding large engined vehicles and lack of available spares, owners tended to abandon their vehicles...

    Scale Discrepancies

    Has any one else had this problem. I recently bought some 1/35 sale figures by Academy, Italeri & Tamiya. However when I put them alongside each other, the Academy figures are considerably taller and broader than the others. I know in the real world we are all different, but the Academy...

    Italeri 1/35 Schnellboote Build

    I started this build back in 2011 my first plastic model in 45 years. I was building and flying (crashing) R/C model planes, but now retired and living in a very small apartment I no longer have the space to store all the broken bits and pieces to rebuild some time later (which never comes) I...
