    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    Ok, mods if you could move this to 'ships under construction' that would be great. I'm confident here now to be guided so to speak! I anticipate starting my RMS Titanic by Academy (1/400) this week. So.. .on we (and I mean 'we'!!) Go! Box and contents;

    Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

    My loving wife has bought me a wedding anniversary gift.. A limited edition Academy model of the Titanic. I'VE NEVER BUILT A SHIP BEFORE!!!!! I'm more than nervous, it's a nice kit with real wood for the decking and a helluva lot of PE. I may well be asking, no..I WILL be asking...

    Panzer tank.

    Evening! I've perused the site for quite a while this evening and I'm getting confused (not difficult) So, I'm really enjoying my tanks (1/35) at present and I've wanted to build a Panzer for some time but held back. I'd like a really good kit to give the beast credit but as I'm sure you're...

    Out of my comfort zone.

    Chaps, I've been roped into helping my younger brother build a kit of HMS Victory, a ship he loves the history of. No problem in helping him build it but he wants her looking realistic and has asked if I'd weather it. Good grief. So, any ship builders out there that can help me out? I've...

    Kit flaw.

    Hi guys, Not sure if this has been covered here already (if so please tell me and I'll remove) I had a Xmas wishlist and one of those was the Italeri 1/48 tropical MK1 Hurricane. Nice little kit until it came to fitting the underwing to the fuselage, the fit is dreadful!! Basically the front...

    Did Santa add to your stash?

    Since my rekindled love of modelling it was inevitable Xmas would attract some new kits for me (family are happy they can get something for me!) I've been lucky and got a few kits, but the best for me was a Tamiya 1:32 Spitfire Mark IXc! So, anyone else. Get anything exciting?

    Millennium Falcon - Bandai perfect grade.

    Finally finished. Was a pleasure to build albeit strange using no adhesive. The kit really does fit very well and the lighting (engines/cockpit/legs/boarding ramp) wasn't too complicated. A couple of nice options such as full flight mode, legs up and ramp closed but then you lost some of the...

    Some advice...

    Hello chaps, hope you're all ok! I have a paint / varnish / wash query. I used to spray enamel onto my builds, varnish with VMS then use enamel wash (Humbrol premade) with good results. I've now moved onto Acrylic Vallejo air which I'm enjoying. So, my question before I venture into the...

    Probably the daftest question to date...

    Me again... Don't laugh, (oh go on then) but is there any tips regarding painting/spraying parts on a sprue then touching up after removal from said sprue? Basically, very small parts I spray, but on removal the part has an obvious unpainted spot...my issue is that I won't brush paint this as...
