    Gern's Laserart Locomotive

    Some build pictures: More assembly: I left the boards on the sides so that I could add decals - just some sort of serial number. More to follow.

    Gern's Laserart Locomotive

    This is my second entry for this GB. As the title suggests, it's a wooden laser cut kit from Laserart. Normally, this is where I'd post pictures of the boxart and sprues. Unfortunately, Laserart don't sell their kits in boxes or leave the parts on some sort of sprue - and according to their...

    Decals on wood

    Hi guys. Hope someone can help. I've already finished one kit for Peter's non-injection GB but I have another in progress. It's a wooden kit which I'd like to put decals on, but I don't want to risk having to repaint the kit if I get it wrong. I don't think a coat of varnish will be enough to...

    No boxes.

    I don't have any empty boxes around so where else is she going to sleep?

    Gern's ROKR Steam Train

    I finished a GB!! Here's my entry for Peter's excellent GB. Not up to the standard of some of the amazing stuff going on here, but I enjoyed it. So much so, I've ordered another train kit from a different company. Maybe I'll get creative and finish another build! Box art etc. And the...

    Finding older posts

    Hi guys. Anyone know how I can find a post from a few days ago? I can only see Today's, Posts since last visit and my own stuff. While I'm here, is there anyway for me to change the default font size? On my PC it's really tiny and I'm squinting through my glasses to read it.

    Sheesh!

    Can anyone explain why insurance companies have such wildly different prices. I'm looking for a new motor and typed in all the details into a comparison site. The lowest quote I got was around £750 - but the highest, for the same vehicle is £18500!

    Gettin' desperate!

    Knowing there's a wealth of knowledge on here I hope someone can help. I've just bought a 2007 Mercedes A class to replace my 2008 E class CDI in the hope of reducing my car expenses. I've been insuring through a pay per mile broker who unfortunately can't renew my policy as they're changing...

    Painting wheels

    No. Not the one about how to paint tyres! Nothing spectacular, but how many times have you had to paint the two sides of a wheel in two sessions 'cos you need to put it down when you've painted one side? Wrap a bit of tape around the wheel: Grab the tape as close to the wheel as you can get...

    Quinta Studios 3D decals

    Hi guys. Does anyone know of a UK supplier for Quinta 3D decals? I placed an order with them direct last month and I'm having major problems finding out where my order has got to. Although Quinta acknowledge payment and have given me an order number and tracking number, all I've managed to...

    Build videos.

    I spend lots of time looking at build videos in the hope of picking up tips to help with my modelling and find information about how well a kit builds. Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up of looking at videos where only 20% of the time is spent on the kit build and all the rest is devoted to...

    Gallery Models?

    Hi guys. I picked up the 1/48 Trumpeter H-34 helicopter at the show on Sunday. I need some masks for the windows (they have round corners which makes it awkward using tape) and found a Eduard set. It's described as a mask set for a Gallery Models kit so I had a look on Scalemates. It's the...

    Tamiya acrylic vs. Humbrol Gloss varnish.

    Hi guys, back again. I brush painted some Tamiya acrylics onto some small parts on Friday night. I've tried to brush on a coat of Humbrol gloss varnish this morning and it's fetching all the paint off. Are they incompatible or is there something else going on? Both the paint and varnish are...

    Rick’s Airfix (ex-Academy) 1/35 Tiger 1

    Is that this one Rick? If so, how did you fit the engine? I had to cut the top off mine!

    No air!

    Hi guys. Just a quickie. I have the new 2024 Ultra A/B. I've fitted it with a 0.4 needle and nozzle with a pinch tip. I tried spraying with it yesterday and got no air. I checked the hose fitting and trigger which seem to work fine. I cleaned out both the nozzle and pinch tip with a reamer but...

    Levelling Thinner

    Trying to get hold of some Mr Color Levelling Thinner 400. Anyone know why there doesn't seem to be any available anywhere in the UK? Please tell me it's not import restrictions 'cos it's flammable! If so, why don't they ban oil tankers and LPG container ships?

    Crazy!

    Just been browsing for some small 3x5 spiral bound notebooks that I use on quiz nights. Found a company in the good ol' US of A that has packs of 6 books for about £15. And you think that's pricey? They want £496 for postage to the UK!!

    Quiz anyone?

    I take part in a regular quiz along with my ex and my two daughters. Every week the quizmaster randomly selects one team to pick a specialised round for the following week. As it happened, last week it was our turn to pick. None of the girls could pick a topic so I did. My choice - pretty...
