    Hi Jim, I use a Iwata trigger because of pain in fingers using a double action one. Found it very easy to use. Might have a look at this one

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Bit more stock, 1/200 Yamato part of middle superstructure and funnel. Fujimi 1/350 Fuso and Yamashiro pagoda bridges. The most impressive bridges ever, totally bonkers. The boxs are the same for some reason Also very good ship cradle for 1/700 & 1/350. Revolves on the base and tilts.

    Review - Dspiae (ES-A) reciprocating sander

    Been using a lot and find it handy. Bought spare heads so I have the usual grits set up, so easy to switch heads from coarse to fine

    Very Fire new ships for 26, hopefully!

    As far as i know Very Fire only make there own new kits. I have a few in the attic fleet, Yamato, Musashi, Takao. The moulding and details are excellent. The deluxe kits are expensive but you get a lot. Surprised to see another Bismarck but like Tigers and Spitfires, they sell.

    Not strictly a ship!

    Evening Thought it would be a quick build, but the lower hull had a lot of scratches and what looked like seams and not where they should be. So fair bit of time spent sanding etc The fit of about 90% of the parts is perfect, no need for glue! More work

    Do you have a dog?

    All our many, many cats have been rescued, will never pay for one. No doubt when we eventually move we'll give Anna cat rescue in Cardiff a bell. Suckers 100%
