    Here’s my soldering rig, I bought this to do my brass etch soldering and it seems to work fine as tools go. As has been mentioned the flux is key to getting a good solder.

    HMS Dreadnought 1907

    Of late Ive just not had much time modelling with work and family issues etc. So this one has taken rather longer than it should of done. I’d like to say that extra time has made it more polished but probably not. Anyway as always it’s been a learning curve but I’m happy enough how it turned...

    Plastic clear windows ?

    I recently bought a second hand model which was missing one of the clear slim windows on one side. Other than try to find some Clear window out of the parts box and reshape which is probably the easiest method is there anything else you can do to scratch build clear windows?

    HMS DREADNOUGHT 1906

    I tried to burnish my chains but to be honest it just didn’t seem black enough so I’m the end I resulted to spray painting them in MRP black. Because the MRP paint is so thin it doesn’t seem to clog the chains. The MRP is smelly paint to spray but it really is amazing stuff to use. Just work...

    HMS DREADNOUGHT 1906

    I’ve decided to fit the many coal grates which there are roughly 58 in total over the deck. Because I fitted the wood deck that additional thickness meant these sank a little too deep into the deck holes. As luck would have it the wood deck also come with its own set of etched coal grates so I...

    Latest Acquisitions (2021)

    I saw this on eBay and had to buy it. It could be as old as 1986 around the time Airwolf was on tv Looks quite a simple model to build although that can often be deceiving . Brand Ive never heard of AMT, ERTL, made in Mexico.. The box smells old like it’s been stashed in an old seller for 35 years

    HMS DREADNOUGHT 1906

    One of the little steam powered barges put together with a little Eduard cabin bit and a little sailer stood next to it.. Also a quick shot of the super structure to show that there is some progress. Some of it looks like it was put together by a 6 year old but as usual there are many things...
