    Cheap and effective addition to your supplies?

    Hi all, Whilst watching a YT video of a car build I saw the builder use these as exhaust tailpipe embellished and thought they looked much more effective than the kit parts. They are uninsulated wiring ferrules made of copper with a tin plating and gently flared at one end. I bought a kit off...

    Dragon 1/72 SH-3D "Helo 66" retrieving Apollo CM.

    Not used to working in such a scale with loads of tiny parts. A bit of progress made, mostly dry fitted. No decals for the instruments so have to come up with a plan.

    Stefees Italieri 1/24 Porsche 944S

    Whilst eradicating mould lines, flash etc on the body I noticed there was provision in the clear parts for a sunroof which my car had. This took the form of being completely removable and stoed in a bag in the boot - will try to replicate that later. So 60 nerve racking minutes later I have this.

One of the attached photos has images of my car. Bought AM resin AM "cookie cutter" alloys to match my car and tyre valves. The...

    Dragon 1/72 SH-3D "Helo 66" retrieving Apollo CM.

    Hi all, Not sure if this is in the correct section as it includes a space craft and a diorama - mods please move as you see fit. Just started this build and it's taking me way out of my comfort zone of building cars. Hope you think a build log will be of interest. Will be depicting the recovery...

    Just delivered, kit I've been coveting for years but refused to pay the exorbitant prices being asked. Found on Ebay as a BIN delivered for just under £30.00 so I am well pleased. Box is tatty but all contents sealed and perfect.

    Stefees Revell 1/24 Lamborghini Diablo VT

    The banana car is finally finished after regaining my mojo. Total build time was 88 hours OOB except the "bonnet" badge. All paints are Tamiya acrylics with Proscale paints 2k clearcoat. Straight forward build but very compact in the engine bay so proper alignment is crucial. Decals were...

    Stefees Revell 1/600 Star Trek USS Enterprise with extras

    Well after a 4 month absence due to health issues and a major kitchen revamp (including demolishing a wall) I have just completed this kit. I am very happy with the overall appearance but mightily disappointed with the lighting result as this took me ages. When I put this away in December all...

    Help with finding 1/72 USN frogmen figures.

    Hi all, I am hoping that your good selves can assist. A near future build will be recovery of the Apollo 11Command Module after splashdown something like this. I have got a suitable pilot and winch operator set as below but...... I have had no luck finding any USN frogmen in 1/72 scale to place...
