    Mounted Samurai Archer

    I started this months ago but a long stay in hospital delayed completion. Didn't like the bow and arrows that came with the kit so I scratch built my own. 90% of my output is Samurai related so I hope I don't get boring. Bill

    Decal advIce

    As i mostly do figures I have not done much with decals. In the distant past I did a few Airfix kits with waterslide transfers and they were fine. I decided to buy some Vallejo decal fix which I have not used yet. I notice however that they also do a decal softener and a decal medium. Can...

    Waterslide transfers

    Anyone set up to print their own waterslide decals? I am interested in some Japanese Mon for my samurai figures and I am quite willing to pay a reasonable price. Size would be in the 15-20 mm range (the decal not the figure). Black and white would be fine as I intend to paint them after...

    Latest Acquisitions (2023)

    This arrived the other day, for those who aren't aware it is a flat pack for self assembly. Cheap and nasty rubbish, I'm glad I only bought this module as I certainly won't be getting any more. Bill

    Paint mixing

    I am new to air brushing and am curious to know what you guys use as a container to mix paint in. I tried diluting it in the air brush pot with unsatisfactory results so assume it should be mixed first then poured in, hence the question. Cheers Bill

    Latest Samurai

    This is my recently finished Samurai. ( I like Samurai's). An old 90mm White Models item that I got on the bay. One of the most complex pieces I have ever done. Next on the bench is a Native American so will be something different if my Samurai's are getting boring.

    Is PE worthwhile?

    I am new to plastic modelling but an experienced figure modeller. I have just bought an old Tamiya R75 motorcycle kit and while searching for it came across an Eduard PE upgrade. Is PE worth the expense and effort for a novice? Does it make a significant difference to the end result or will it...

    BAOR vehicle markings

    I am currently building an Italeri Land Rover and want to depict it as one I drove in Germany. I am sure mine was stencilled on the side with the call sign 21B in black but I can't find any reference material to back this up. Perhaps this was not universally used and just a regimental...

    Hello from Wiltshire

    Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I bought the Takom FV432 for nostalgic reasons as I drove and commanded one in the 70's when I was a REME plant mechanic attached to 23 Engineer Regt in BAOR. When I opened the box and saw what I had let myself in for I bought the Italeri Land Rover to...
