Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory
One of my favourite builds on here ever I think. Stunning stuff. For eBay, I think you need as many pictures, all side and end views, close ups of detail etc as you can get. You also need to show the size in real terms and describe how it will be packed and sent to the new owners. Lastly...- Tim Marlow

Tamiya 1/48 mosquito B Mk.IV
Nice job Peter. Glad yours went together well. I built one for a GB a couple of years ago and found it quite hard work, especially around the engine nacelles.- Tim Marlow

Latest Acquisitions (2026)
My last one, the Ford V 3000 S truck, was excellent, but that’s an ICM repop….. Always worth doing your research unless it’s an in shop impulse buy 😉- Tim Marlow

I remember that vaguely as well. Folded dollar bills wasn’t it?- Tim Marlow

Funnily enough I blunted and smoothed the curved blade in my hobby knife and now use it to apply filler.- Tim Marlow

SHARP.
I find Swann Morton scalpel blades are much sharper, and hold their edge far longer than hobby knife blades. I used to use Xacto and Swann Morton craft knives, but the switch to scalpels was a revelation in terms of sharpness and longevity. I would start with a size three handle and some some...- Tim Marlow

SHARP.
To be absolutely honest Tony, the time taken, against the cost of new blades, is not cost effective in my opinion. In addition, you will never resharpen an old blade to as new condition unless you use an expensive bit of kit like a Tormek sharpener, and even then you might not be successful...- Tim Marlow

1/35 TAMIYA StuG 1V
It will still work even if coloured with paint residue. I’d be quite surprised ifit could be filtered as the paint it’s taken off is dissolved in the IPA.- Tim Marlow

I’ve always wondered about that line. It’s like saying “my car can do the Tescos run in 7.5 miles”. Er…….- Tim Marlow

The radio series was great…..slightly different story to the books, which were different to the TV series. Definitely worth a relisten if you can find it.- Tim Marlow

The National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire
Thanks for these Jim. That’s somewhere I would like to go someday. We are always keen as a country to highlight what we do badly, but places like this are something in which we are world leaders.- Tim Marlow

Yes, Douglas Adam’s hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series has been on stage, screen, radio, books, and TV as I remember it. Books are best, but the BBC radio series is a close second. Film and TV were pretty poor.- Tim Marlow

If you have something in mind, you can always ask on here. Someone will probably have made it, or one close to it George.- Tim Marlow

I got mine from Douglas Adams. Fermi and Drake take no account of the distances involved, so are both flawed thought experiments. Deism I will not debate here. Evolutionary biology is not a theory. The theory was postulated by Darwin in his treatise “On the origin of species by means of...- Tim Marlow

No Chris. What I’m saying is, on average, there is no intelligent life in the universe, so anyone you meet anywhere is a figment of your imagination……it’s a maths joke….. I actually believe there must be life on other worlds, but that the distances involved are too great for us to ever meet.- Tim Marlow

OK, let’s take this back to (possibly spurious) basic mathematics and work out the average number of live organisms per planet. There are an infinite number of stars (and therefore planets) out there. Our star system shows that not all planets support life. This means that there is a...- Tim Marlow
