    Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster B Mkiii

    Probably a pointless update but just fixed the two wings to the fuselage. Will leave the glue to set properly for a few hours now.

    Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster B Mkiii

    I’ve completed the cockpit, and now stuck the two fuselage halves together so no going back now. So far fit seems quite good. There are a few minor raises edges where the two parts join, probably could of lined up better had I noticed at the glueing stage. Sure a bit of sand paper or small...

    Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster B Mkiii

    Just a small update on the cockpit. Moving along slowly.

    Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster B Mkiii

    I’m after some advice from those who may have already built this model Themselves. Beside the pilot seat in the cockpit there is a pull down seat in the instructions. However, I have used some the etched parts and one such part which I can’t identify sits over where the seat would go. Now either...

    Micro models

    A load of etch sheets, some of which I can’t identify.

    Micro models

    Was going through some of my departed father in law models Bits and come across these little Paper models. Could be a challenge to make mind although they look like something you might collect rather than build?

    How to paint leather effect

    I’m looking to paint some aircraft seats. They are leather cushioned in brown. ive seen technique using dark brown and tan but this is usually better when the plastic part has some form of ripple mould into the plastic. my cushion is plane flat so any effects will need to be painted in. I was...

    Photo etch glueing.

    The actual tool looks slightly different from the Amazon picture. Here a photo of the actual clamp taken on my desk.

    Photo etch glueing.

    I bought this one for £27.80 so not sure what quality that makes it. Seems to be ok apart from a little twist but if you make sure both parts are square it appears to do a decent bend.

    Photo etch glueing.

    I’m bending a few box shape etch parts which don’t appear to have any tags to glue sides so it’s a case of glueing the edges to each other or surface which are only 0.15mm thick. whats the best method of gluing these box sections.

    Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster B Mkiii

    Next model up will be the mighty Lancaster. This one has been gathering dust under my desk and my wall space is calling for it to address the balance next to the German Heinkel and Junker.

    RMS QUEEN MARY 1

    Well this one was My first proper attempt at building a ship and it was trial and error every step of the way. I’ve learnt plenty of useful skills for the next one. It’s far from perfect but none the less complete.

    Queen Mary

    Another question to anyone that may have done this already. What’s the best way to attach rigging to the funnels. I suspect that if I try spotting super glue it will inevitably not stick every time so I’ll end up ruining the paint work if I’m not careful. I was thinking of drilling holes but...

    Photography

    I like to dabble in landscape photography mostly when the mood takes me, I’ve had several canon 5d full frame cameras over the years and many different lens but I found myself not taking the camera out as often as I should die to the bulk and weight of theses cameras especially when combined...

    not a huge collection and rather random, what ever takes my fancy when I’m surfing the web.

    Revell 1/144 Trinity House 'South Goodwin' Lightship

    There’s a lighthouse boat near me in Gloucester docks. In fact I think it’s been for sale for a while.

    Queen Mary

    I have quite few in my stash now, Lancaster, B17, P61 and several others including my latest buys which were two rather odd ball ones below

    Queen Mary

    To be fair Chris I read the instructions that said add 2% hardener which seemed like a few drops so I ignored that and squirted a bit in,clearly too much . As you say, I’ll know for next time. Anyway it seems to have stuck ok and the boat looks ok shape wise I think. I will have to sort the...

    A tiny bit more of the decking and some hand painted white bits so don’t look too closely

    Master boat builder- Father Pirrone

    I was surfing the web when I come across this video of a priest called Father Pirrone. Im not religious at all but this guys boat building is quite amazing. I also found him very interesting to listen to. Its actually a 43minute video but it seemed more like 10. This may have been posted before...
