    Sanding Timber to the required thickness

    I needed something to be able to make the timber I required for the models to be of a very uniform thickness, so I checked on the web and found a working drawing for a Thickness Sander. This was tad on the larger size for the timber bits that I required, so I drew it up to a size that what I...

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Not until you are inside one of them alongside that roaring thumping motor, it is S-O-O loud, that your chest hurts from all that noise. Was a Fireman on those big deisel locos' and had to walk down beside the engines under 'full noise', when I had to retrieve something for the driver from the...

    Making Scale Model Wooden Spoked Wheels

    Here is a PDF of how I make the wooden spoked wheels, for my Horse Drawn Vehicle models. It is NOT the only way to make them, just the way I have developed to make them. There are other ways of making the wheels, that a lot of experianced modellers happen to do, to make their wheels. Started...

    TIP WAGGON 12th scale --- Scratchbuilt

    Here is a Scratchbuilt 1/12th scale Tip Waggon. I was sent a picture of this vehicle and thought it was a bit different, so I contacted the sender of the pic and got quite a few more details about this odd ball vehicle. Looked thru my stash of Working Drawings and there is a drawing...

    Hi

    Well I'll be buggered, somebody else who used to use Chloroform as a glue, that stuff was magic on some of those new fangled hard types of plastic, when the only glue available was in those toothpaste type tubes. Sheesh, wasn't that tube type glue just S-N-O-T. Go try and buy a pint of that...

    Ford Model T 1/16th scale --- modified.

    Now here's something that's a tad different, suppose you could call it a 'Butchers Light Order Model T Ford', looks like the rear end was swiped from an old horse drawn vehicle and just plonked onto the back of the Model T. Needed a bit of light hearted relief, as I was getting a bit of burn...

    Book recommendations?

    For an excellent book on the hobby of building models, then you should at least have this book from Gerald Wingrove within your library. Ok, he wrote it quite few years ago, BUT, the principle is still EXACTLY THE SAME for TODAY. He would have to be "one of the best modellers in the world" and...
