    Another A/B problem Sorted

    Got to ask a question from the guys using the very expensive Air Brushes, are you using the Air Brush to do paintings similar to "The Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel", or are you just using it as a one colour spray at a time, like just agricultural spraying ?

    Scratchbuilt 1/8th scale "Exercising Cart", or given it's popular name, a "Spider".

    Here is a 1/8th scale “Exercising Cart", or, you can use its popular name that it goes by today, a ’Spider’, for very obvious reasons. The full sized vehicle was owned by Mrs Val Perkins, from a small town called Coonewarre, which is in Victoria, Australia. It had been ‘rejuvenated’ by a...

    16 Passenger Omnibus -- Scratchbuilt in 12th scale

    I saw a couple of these Omnibuses in an old movie news reel which was shown on TV as a ‘Flashback’ segment, I liked the look of them and thought, hmmm - I think I have a working drawing for one of these vehicles. Found the drawing and just went at it, then this eventually appeared on the...

    Double Lorry - Scratchbuilt in 1/12th scale

    It's only got a single pole for TWO horses to be attached to, so it's a "DOUBLE Lorry" because it takes double the horses that a "Single Lorry" requires to drag it around the countryside. Now a Lorry is with-in the Waggon family, ie - it's got 4 wheels. But the difference is in the size of the...

Usual methods of construction, so no different procedures were required. This type of vehicle was...

    Making Miniature Coachbolts

    Yes, the model railway suppliers do sell 10 BA and 12 BA screws and nuts, only problem is that they are HEX headed bolts and HEX nuts. Now if they would only make and sell Square nuts and Coachbolts as well. :unsure:

    SMS hyperchrome sealer and hyperchrome dark tone.

    This stuff should do the job equally as good ----------------- It will even work on very old decals, a quick coat of that clear and then you can cut your decals and use them, as that Clear Acyrilic will hold the old decals together very well...

    Painting parts prior to assembly, yes or no?

    This is the way I do it, others will have differing views on the subject ------ Much easier to assemble 'sub sections' before painting, so assemble all the bits that are going to be painted one colour, then assemble other bits that will be painted another colour. By doing it this way, you can...

    Exercise or Breaking Sulky -- Scratchbuilt in 1/12th scale

    I use an old Windows XP loaded with CorelDraw to make the designs, then print them onto a clear decal sheet, using an ALPS MD 5500 Printer and just stick the water slide transfers/decals onto the model.

    Here is a 1/12th scale model of a Exercise or Breaking Sulky, built to 1/12th scale and totally Scratchbuilt. Had to make ALL my own nuts and bolts, as you CAN NOT buy miniature square nuts, or, miniature Coachbolts in 12BA. I've searched the web, BUT be blowed if I can find any, it would sure...

    What to do with completed models?

    Ebay is only good for models that you are going to wreck for spare parts, as the postman will have started that job for you anyway. Unless you want to spend stupid amounts of money on packaging the model,-------------- then the postman will always win out.

    12th Scale Bakers Waggonette ----- Scratchbuilt

    Yes it is, not a very accurate version of an Aussie W 900 though, it was an experiment to see how far I could go, at altering a model from a box of bits.
