    16 Passenger Omnibus -- Scratchbuilt in 12th scale

    Absolutely lovely, just like all the other horse drawn vehicles you have shown on this forum radish. I have to say that not only are your model making skills top notch, but also your painting, lining and sign writing are excellent too considering you are working in wood, that demands much more...

    New 1/12th scale Bugatti 35B kit by Italeri.

    Returning to a very old post here. Bought the Bugatti kit when it was first issued, and only got around to starting it this year, other projects having intervened. Nice kit, but has a few minor issues to sort out as I go along. Could not get my head around why the kit was supplied with a spare...

    Hobbycraft and Humbrol?

    If Biggleswade Hobby craft store is anything to go by, the company appears to be going over to stocking Him from exclusively. I went to the store to top up on some Tamiya gloss clear, to find that particular store had absolutely no Tamiya Acrylics or Lacquers, no Revell Aqua Color or Enamels. Is...

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    When your stash cannot be completed within your lifetime, that is when it is getting out of hand !

    Is scale modelling a cheap or expensive hobby?

    This thread has morphed a bit from its original question about whether this is an inexpensive hobby or not. Life throws curve balls at most of us at some time or another, and therefore can impact both finance available to buy stuff, but worse, health issues that can seriously affect our ability...

    Rattle cans

    I quite like the convenience of rattle cans. Saves the rigmarole of setting up, using, stripping and cleaning an airbrush. Having said that, I can use an airbrush ok, and there are times when one comes into its own. Paul Rose mentioned it is important to remember safety. Absolutely! But do...

    Is scale modelling a cheap or expensive hobby?

    Spend, spend, spend ! Those of us of a certain age might remember Viv Nicholson saying that after her pools win way back! She and her husband blew the lot in short order afterwards. I think that a theatre musical was made about her famous win.

    Is scale modelling a cheap or expensive hobby?

    My model making hobby is relatively inexpensive compared to others, but do understand how some individuals can let it get way out of hand. For example, stashes that contain more stock than a model shop (remember them? ), multiple high quality airbrushes, a fortune tied up in multiple washes and...

    Pledge, still used for canopies?

    The Holloway House Quick Shine is similar to the old Johnson's Kleer. Just make sure it is in the green labelled carton as shown in DaveCov's post. Last time Iooked, Lakeland sold it at around £16 I think. Might appear a bit pricey compared with the cost of the old Kleer, but one heck of a lot...

    Putting extra parts to use

    Amazing what you can do with bits from a copious spares box! Nice innovation by Jukebox64. SM could even run a thread on builds made from spares box bits.

    Model Motorcars Ltd Florida

    Model Motorcars Ltd was placed into voluntary dissolution this year on March 18th. Reason unknown. I discovered this information from another source since going to look on their website a couple of weeks back to find it was unaccessable. The company was trading for over 25 years, supplying...

    Bespoke Acrylic cases

    Visual Impact normally trade at Telford each year. Bought a display case from them that unfortunately had a nasty knock during shipping through no fault of their own despite it being very well packaged. They replaced the damaged case very promptly, and would recommend using them to anyone...

    SMS hyperchrome sealer and hyperchrome dark tone.

    Looking at an American model making website recently some posters were waxing lyrical about a product named 'Fusion Firm' Chrome. Anyone here in the UK used it ? Any good ? Is it available here in the UK ? I have been using C1 polishing powder (a UK product) with good effect. One simply...

    What to do with completed models?

    What to do with disposal of old models depends on a number of factors. Subject matter, what they are made from, how good are they? The more fragile a model is does not bode well for shipping. We have all seen the lengths that aircraft modellers take to protect a model when taking it to a show...

    Heller Citroen Fourgon HY build

    The HY. What a classic vehicle that epitomizes the French knack for utilitarian commercial transport. Nice subject for a kit. I can remember that Wheeler Dealers HY build. I used to like watching Ed China in the workshop. What is he up to now ? I understand he was not happy with the...

    Tug Boat..... Revell

    Fit the box scale was how it was back in those days Paul. It took a while for the makers to get their act together !! I wish you well with it when you get around to it. Have seen some good builds of this old kit, including a very good diorama of two derelicts, but cannot remember what forum...

    Papa695s Italeri 1/24 Ford Transit Van.

    Great to see the encouragement and love going into making this model. Having a grandson myself with cerebral palsy can appreciate seeing this.

    What happened to all those kit manufacturers ?
