    Tamiya Stratos

    Oh! A Stratos. One of the few cars that look fast even standing still. (And one of the even fewer cars that float my boat).

    Ian M's Seafire fr46/47. Airfix 1/48.

    Thanks chaps. It's going quite fast, even though I am dodging the low spring sunshine half the time. I like the sun, just not when it is right in your eyes!.

    Ian M's Seafire fr46/47. Airfix 1/48.

    I noticed inside the fuselage it is moulded with Airfix. 1996. so not that new a kit. but still OK. I think the newest one is the mkXVII . Anyhow. Got the fuselage zipped then realised I forgot to photo the cockpit. No biggie. it was just a dry brush to highlight the detail which will never be...

Hang on... 20. mostly 1/48, a couple in 1/32 and a single 1/24. To that I could add six or so that have...

    Does a 3D Printing section exist here?

    There is a chat/discussion section here https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/forums/3d-printing-and-digital-modelling.160/ Otherwise any models themselves are just built and displayed in with the other models. Regardless of how or from what, they are made of.

    The curse of building 'clean' ships and shiny cars/bikes. I have some clear storage tote thingies I use if I want a really clean finish. sort of works.

    Went to see if the New Jag was in stock. It was not.... But these where and there was 12% off. Been thinking about the Lifeboats for far to long. Being on offer was to much for my willpower to withstand... lol

    Good luck. lol. I have some I was given by another member. The secret is that they are NOT clamps. ANY form of pressure WILL make them twist and fall off. Just enough to hold things together and they'er OK ... Just.

    John will post to Scotland. Do you know that as a supporter you get a discount code for the Scale Models Shop SMS I cant recall the supporters fee but it is easy to earn back with a few purchases.

    Andy's 1/48 Spitfire Mk1a

    That cockpit looks well nice! Before I forget copper wire if pulled from electric appliances and circuits are often coated with a very fine waxy substance. Try burning heating a bit of the wire, or cleaning in acetone...

    SMS hyperchrome sealer and hyperchrome dark tone.

    Does that mean that if you use a water base clear coat, the chrome paint could be un affected? Cool. I'll have to try that,
