    1/1 paintwork

    Thank Matron for me John, it's always an honour to receive a dog's award. I may print it out to hang on the office wall 😎 With the silver nice & dry I masked just inside the previous edge with 3mm tape and applied the black I then repeated the process for the gold. I was applying...

    1/1 paintwork

    I'm sure she'll have something to say about the mess 😯 My friend that took the building over is slowly cramming the space full of his projects so my working area is getting smaller and smaller 😂 I could build a couple of cars with the amount of spare parts he has upstairs, then there's a...

    1/1 paintwork

    After a couple of days in the sun and a Bank Holiday weekend to "breathe", it was time to carry on with the Honda. The owner had brought me some stickers as an example but wanted them painting on. After scratching my head a bit I came up with an idea. First I laid the stickers on to the...

    Adventures in resin 3D printing

    I'm sorry that I'm lagging behind with updates and info on this but I've been a bit busy so haven't really had a chance. My lad is certainly getting his (or rather my!) moneys worth 😂 A few random examples of the things he's printing:

    Tamiya Bulldozer - 1:48 - Small Dio/Vignette complete

    Ah, I see. It has been a few years 😂

    You can't park there mate!

    Thanks very much Steven. I really enjoyed not getting bogged down with complicated techniques, although there were several times I was longing to reach for an airbrush 😂

    Tamiya Bulldozer - 1:48 - Small Dio/Vignette complete

    A cracking job on the model Peter and a great base with plenty of interest. It might surprise people just how small this kit is. Mine doesn't have headlamps though, did you add those yourself?

    You can't park there mate!

    Thanks chaps. I've been snapping and think I've got a few good shots. I'm too busy watching the snooker to compose the full post but here's one for now:

    You can't park there mate!

    The figures are in place so I'm pretty much done here. A bit of tidying up, repaint the black edges, then try and harness some of Ron's photography magic to take the finished shots. I can't even get everything in bloomin' focus, yet he had the ability to frame shots so well that his scenes...

    Help please with products and items

    I had 2 mates that did a lot of diecast cars. They'd just dump the cars into a container of standard thinner (aka cellulose or lacquer thinner), after ensuring all plastic parts had been removed. It stripped the paint off easily. Life's way too short to remove it mechanically!

    You can't park there mate!

    Thanks everyone. Yes, these fellows are so much better that there's no need to even consider the red ones. I suppose I should have expected the worst at £9 for a box of 39 figures 😂 I agree Tim, it was always hard to see the line between fact and fiction but I found that to be part of the...

    You can't park there mate!

    Thanks guys. Neil - I've had plenty of failures 😂 but I keep trying and some of them come out looking okay.

    You can't park there mate!

    Thanks John, that means a lot. As it happens I've abandoned those figures as the other set I'd ordered has arrived. They are so much better quality than the rubbery red guys that it was a no brainier. I had to jiggle around to suit their different poses but I'm even happier with this: So I...

    1/1 paintwork

    Thanks gents. Blue is definitely my favourite colour for these Tony. My mate is building a 22B replica (2 door, wide body) and has had me paint it dark grey. It really should have been blue! 😂 Tim - he's got a couple of these, along with lots of other classic bikes. This particular one he's...

    1/1 paintwork

    I'm working on an old Honda CB750 for a guy who brings me a fair amount of bike stuff. The whole thing was stripped to either bare metal or plastic, suitably repaired and primed, then prepared for painting. He wanted a light red candy, so after formulating some suitable paint, I made a start...

    1/1 paintwork

    I seem to be posting more than my fair share at the moment. Please tell me if it gets annoying 😁 I finished painting the above Scooby and it's back at the dealer, who is rebuilding it before I pop down to give it a final polish over. Looking good already, if I say so myself

    Thanks Steven, but I've got far too much on to consider commission work at the moment . Maybe one day in the future when I've got to grips with things better 😁

    Looking good John, bring on the wet stuff 😎

    After a bit of trimming I got the craft paints out to put down some background colours. I don't have any brown but made something work.

    HST paint job

    I'm the same Tim, I'm not normally too bothered about exact matches but he's going to have the two trains running on the same layout, so I ought to get it at least closer lol. Until I get the green sorted I've made a start on some of the other colours, starting with the yellow nose. I'm using...
