    Revell Aqua, not impressed!

    I have used it for brush painting and found it to be fine in use. The body containers take a bit of getting used to. Hobbycraft locally has run their Aquacolour stock out having been running it down for a while now. Not sure if those paints have been discontinued or not, but my local...

    The Football Thread

    Paris SG and Bayern. Best match I have watched for years! The Atletico Madrid and Arsenal game was so boring to watch in comparison. Hope Arsenal make the Champions League final after the second legs of the semis.

    Review - Dspiae Tool Combo Set - Pt1

    I have looked at Dspiae things at various UK model shows. Good quality up market tools from what I can see. interesting to read users comments about them on this forum. Not found anything in their range yet that I would find a use for having many tools acquired over the years. But who knows...

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    None so far this year but started work on the Italeri Bugatti 35 that I bought way back when it was first released. Quite a lot to do on it, so another slow build on the offing !

    How old are we?

    Over 21. But let's say I can remember buying bagged Airfix kits in Woolworths !

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

    Premium Hobbies

    So many paints to choose from ! I can remember the good (?) old days of Humbrol and like it here in the UK, and Airfix paints in those little glass screw top bottles. Gloy tried to compete with Humbrol back in the late 70's by bringing out a large range of modelling enamels that forced Humbrol...

    Wooden models

    Can you actually remember those old Hobbies fret saws Dave ? I think that they might have been treadle operated back in the day. Any still kicking around might qualify as unusual museum exhibits.

    Scratchbuilt 12th scale model of a Hand, or Man Drawn, Fire Hose Reel.

    Very well executed model. Quite an unusual subject to tackle.

    Dspiae mini cordless (USB) Grinder

    My post was not setting out to repeat the chuck size difference as pointed out in Andy's OP but the reason why they might be different.

    Modellers vice build

    I like to see a good engineering project allied to model making like this one. Very interesting ! A number of years back I made a 4 way tool post for my little Unimat 4 lathe. Saves lots of time by doing away with a lot of setting up of tools individually using the tool post supplied. It was...

    Book Nook station

    Very nice unusual models featured by the OP.usual Certainly nice to go off in a different direction to the usual and probably the sort of model that would be more acceptable on the living room sideboard than a big weathered Tiger Tank ! All pre printed in colour and well designed from what I...

    Dspiae mini cordless (USB) Grinder

    The probable disparity between the Dspiae Chuck being 3mm and the Dremel Chuck at 3.2 mms is that the Dremel is an American tool and 3.2 mms is the equivalent to 1/8th of an inch. I think that the Americans have still stuck with Imperial measurements for much of their stuff.
