    Sadistic Christmas gift

    So someone bought me this for Christmas (SWMBO). This is an almost impossible kit to assemble, as anyone who has ever had one of these Metal Earth kits will know. It is all made out of steel photo etch that is prepainted. It is a sadistic gift for someone like me, who is not a great model...

    Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

    BTW Brian where the stays are shown going through the hull you could always attach them later by fixing a very small eye bolt in the hole. These are easily made by turning a piece of thin copper wire around a pin or similar and cutting to length. On many ships this is in fact how the...

    Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

    Brian These look like STAY fasteners. I suspect the PATH column may refer to the piece number to which the stay will be attached. For those lines that are doubled through a block the only concern is to make them the same length on matching sides. As Tim mentioned for those lines that are not...

    Brian's 1/100 HMS Victory

    Brian If you PM me your address I'll send you this. You should find it helpful for some of the rigging. I won't be using it anymore. John p.s. It might take a week or two in the old birch bark canoe to cross the pond.

    Computer Games

    Yes I am one of those who enjoys the odd computer game or two and was seduced by the launch of STARFIELD. I got it through Steam and it took about 20 hours to download on my internet connection. I have only really just unwrapped it but I have too say, for anyone who is interested in space...

    Arizona Trumpeter 1/200th

    Nick Great modelling and I have to admit that I am very much an 18th century sailing ship nerd. I have never built Victory but I have built some frigates of the period and I am a keen painter of the period. This is the great frigate duel between Shannon and the Chesapeake. John

    LIANG 1/35 MODEL BRICK graver.

    Nothing really to do with cutting brick patterns but here is a tool some scratch builders may not have seen before but they could find useful. It is a stained glass makers pattern cutter. A form of scissors with 3 blades that cuts a uniform strip out of foil, plasticard, cardboard etc. Mine cut...
