    Sanding Timber to the required thickness

    That's a lovely bit of kit, @radish - I struggle to drill a straight hole in a piece of wood, never mind building dedicated woodworking machinery like this. One of the lovely things about this forum is that we embrace and encourage people with skillsets at all levels, using all sorts of...

    Brooklyn 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    This has been a real joy to paint. Such a wonderful sculpt, full of character and life. I'm particularly pleased with the skintones. It's pretty natural to paint skin in brightening tones of the same colour - lighter flesh tones for Caucasian skin, lighter browns for Black skin. But skin is not...

    Brooklyn 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    This is now done. I'll post some more pictures in the relevant Completed section, of course.

    1/8th Scale Sydney Brass Sulky

    Oh my goodness - what an amazing piece of work! That's just fabulous!

    The rise of Warhammer, et al, V "regular" traditional scale modelling?

    I pretty much exclusively paint figures these days (although I do regularly branch out in other fields - e.g. modelling in paper, balsa and tissue) I started off with a 28mm army for A Song of Ice and Fire (a wargame based on Game of Thrones). I didn't actually play the game much (this was...

    Brooklyn 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    Some messing about with colours here. Her vest top is currently shades of grey. I'm considering tinting it, perhaps with a thinned contrast paint, or alternatively just dropping some colour into the deepest shadows - probably purple or violet. I think the piping will be light orange, eventually.

    RAF Pilot 1-32 Scale

    This is very nice, Neil. Love that leather jacket - so good I want one myself! A shot indicating the size of this figure would be good - it would help us to appreciate your skills properly.

    Brooklyn 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    Just for you, Joe - some detail of how rough things are, before they get better (hopefully!) I'm using dark violet for the deep shadows, and pale blue to highlight her skin - black skin is much more reflective than white, so those highlights are reflecting the sky. Seems to work.

    Brooklyn 1/10th scale bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    Another great sculpt from Spain.

    Airbrushing a Kawasaki Z900

    Yep, that's the colour!

    Airbrushing a Kawasaki Z900

    A pal, new to modelmaking, is building a 1/12th scale classic Z900, and he's asked me to airbrush the tank and side panels for him. I've not done anything like this before, so it's a great opportunity to practise on someone else's model, rather than ruining one of my own! So my questions are -...

    Paul T's Cutty Sark, Academy 1/350.

    I used to live a few minutes' walk from the Cutty Sark, as a small boy in the sixties, and Greenwich Park was my playground, too! She suffered a catastrophic fire a while back, during a major refit, but she's been superbly restored. I remember when Sir Francis Chichester's 'Gipsy Moth IV' was...

    RDG Miniatures Marine de la Garde Drummer 54mm

    Completely missed this, Neil - it's fantastic! This pose is insolent, arrogant, defiant - and your paint job is outstanding!

    Gretchen, 1/10th bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    Thanks all! Here's the pic I always forget - for scale.

    Gretchen, 1/10th bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    Here we go - Gretchen is packed with attitude, so watch yourselves! She's also a bit rough - I do find it very hard to do the endless refining (what Vince Venturella calls 'futzing') to get a smooth finish. In this instance, for me, it's not such a big deal because, up close, punks were...

    Gretchen, 1/10th bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    She's now finished - I'll put more pictures in the relevant section.

    Drilling a vertical hole

    Here's a nice varnished Scale75 base for a bust I'm painting. I need to drill a hole for a 4mm rod to support the bust, and if it isn't perfectly centred and vertical, it'll look horrible. I don't have a pillar drill (the obvious solution) so I'm looking for an alternative method. Centring...

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Just in, from El Greco Miniatures. Some plinths, for the busts I have in the pipeline, plus a figure and a bas relief challenge, to ring the changes after painting lots and lots of busts.

    Colour choices are wide open!

    Gretchen, 1/10th bust, Pedro Fernandez Works

    I've made a start on this. For once, the camera is being flattering - the skin tones are actually much rougher than they appear. They'll stand quite a bit of refining, and I've not finished with her make-up yet.
