    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...

    12th Scale Bakers Waggonette ----- Scratchbuilt

    12th Scale Bakers Waggonette ----- Scratchbuilt

    Here’s another Horse Drawn Vehicle that I have made, it’s a 1/12th scale Bakers Waggonette. It took me just over 6 months to get it finished, sometimes life just gets in the way of a decent hobby, eh. The original full sized vehicle is on display at the Redlands Museum in Cleveland, Qld. This...

    Here is a 1/12th scale model of a Light Business Waggon, made from the drawings of J.E.Bishop and Son, printed in The Australasian Coachbuilder and Wheelwright, Oct 1906. Came across the body-work of an old truck that somebody had bought and did not want the body, they were after the truck...

    1/8th Scale Sydney Brass Sulky

    Nope, nothing special at all, I just use any ENAMEL paint I can buy from the local hardware store. Just give it an undercoat using TESTORS Enamel paint, SAND colour, then whatever Enamel top coat colour I want to use. Applying Enamel in a 'special way', you can achieve an excellent polished...

    1/8th Scale Sydney Brass Sulky

    Here's one that I liked the look of and had to make the drawings, to be able to make the model. It is a 1/8th scale model of a "Sydney Brass Sulky", so named because of all the extra brass bits that are all over the original vehicle. It was such a 'flash' type of vehicle that the young knob...

    Making aerials from sprues...

    Still VERY relevant to what persons are doing today, strange as how these 'simple things' have kind of been lost to modern society, by todays fascination with the web. Basically, if it aint on the web, then it aint been thought of yet, -- but, somehow the old readable stuff is still very accurate.
