War on Terror diorama
So, I’m having another bash at a diorama now that I’ve got my inspiration back. I don’t know exactly how it’s going to look when done (got a vague idea though) but it will have two vehicles, at least 6 figures and possibly some walls/buildings (if I can find the excellent tutorial on making...- homechild

Stand fast lads...
Quick question. How do you guys fix your squaddies and/or vehicles to your diorama bases? I'm thinking about pinning them into the board but would like to know if there's a really easy solution that others use. I considered using glue but don't know if that will give a strong enough bond...- homechild

Hoping we have US members here that can help...
I want to do a NASCAR race car that I can build and paint as a unique race team. The only problem is I don't know what kind of cars are/were used or who makes the models. If anyone can be of ANY help it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm really looking for vehicles from mid 80's until...- homechild

Aircraft stands
Does anyone know if it's possible to buy those clear plastic aircraft stands on their own (you know the things I mean, they probably have a really technical name like a flagimgabar or something). I have an idea for a future plane build with the plane in flight and wondered if these can be bought...- homechild

Dragon Gen2 figure kits
I ordered some Dragon Gen 2 kits that I was going to include in my Normandy diorama but have now decided against it. Only one of the kits was available and the poses they are in wouldn't look right without the other kit. Anyway, after opening the box and seeing how good these figures actually... -

"Surrender" Normandy GB
Okay, so this will be my first GB and my first models posted on the forum so I'm a bit nervous and hope not to embarrass myself! Comments/criticism are welcome (private or posted). So, this was going to be a different diorama but the models I'd originally ordered got lost in the Christmas...- homechild

Uniform help
Good morning all. Just a quick question. Do we have a resident WWII uniforms expert? I'm getting my Normandy build going but I have 4 guys who are in need of some colour (I'll try to open a thread on the GB section later today if I get the time) but I'm not exactly sure of the right colours... -

Bank details cloned
Hi all. Anyone bought any models in the last couple of days? I bought some online from a model store (a large reputable store with a physical store too) yesterday afternoon (but I'm not going to say which store because I don't know if that's where it happened). Anyway, last night two... -

Quick question on figure manufacturers
So I'm looking for some 1/35 troops to populate my diorama (as my first choice is now out) and have been browsing the net. I have noticed one thing I need to ask about. The price of Tamiya figures is a lot lower than other brands. The only brand of figures I've had recently is Dragon so I...- homechild

Air drying modelling putty/clay help...
Hi all. Okay, I seem to be in a bit of a jam here. I’m putting together a miniart building (bit of a pain really) and I’m having trouble getting the parts to go together. What I need is some sort of air drying putty (or something similar) that I can use to stick the parts together and fill... -

How very dare they...(or not as the case may be)...
So I was planning a diorama that I now have to reject due to historical accuracy issues (I know, it didn't stop Mel Gibson during Braveheart ;) ). I'm still kind of half considering doing it because I think it would look great however as the US 10th Mountain Division were never even in the...- homechild

Sling it...
I am starting a diorama with (obviously) military figures and I'm guessing they will look kinda naked without rifle slings. Does anyone make these for their own models/diorama's or do you just leave them without? I'm just wondering how I would go about making them. The diorama figures are...- homechild

My first in a while...
Well, last night I rejoined the scale modelling community. After 19 years (on and off) of painting GW figs I opened a box I’ve had lying around for a few years. The last kit I made (apart from a Wallace and Gromit van I recently made for my eldest son) was in 1991 and was a 1/72 F-14 Tomcat...- homechild

Essential Scale Modellers books
So I'm making my "Santa list" for my wife and alongside several kits (including pictures of said kits to avoid any confusion) I thought about s book detailing painting/modelling techniques but don't know if there are any decent ones out there. Are there any books out there that you would say... -

1/32 and 1/35 Scale
Is there much difference between 1/32 scale and 1/35 scale? The reason I ask is that I'm having a hard time finding that perfect helicopter/small (civilian type) plane for a diorama. The rest of the diorama be in 1/35 scale (4-6 figures and a hummer type vehicle) and I don't want to go getting... -

1/35 Civilian Aircraft
I'm just about to start buying up the kits I need for a couple of dioramas I'm planning and have a quick question. Are there any civilian type planes or helicopters in the 1/35 scale? All I've managed to find so far is the Bronco Models Piper L-4H Cub Grasshopper. Other than this it would...- homechild

Displaying/storing your dioramas
Okay, so I have a few (okay, as of today, 5) planned dioramas in my head. I was wondering what you all do to protect the ones that you have built. I initially thought about buying clear plastic display cases but after looking at the prices I thought maybe not. There's always the option of...- homechild

Modern British Infantry
I guess this has probably been asked before so I'll apologise in advance. Sorry for asking again. Does anyone know of any Modern British Infantry figures in plastic? I've been on several sites and all I can see are resin ones. I'm a bit reluctant to go ahead and buy resin ones for a few... -
