Considering figure modelling need a bit of guidance
Hi peeps, I'm contemplating entering or rather re entering the realms of figure modelling. I have dabbled in the past with verlinden 120mm kits but found them expensive even 20 years ago and also started to pick faults with them (long arms and odd looking faces) but back then we didn't have a...- Dave Jay

Revell 1/24 Shelby Cobra 427 s/c
Just finished this, was going to do it to represent the Cobra out of Elvis Presley' 1966 'Spinout' film but decided against it as the replication of the red/orange racing number discs proved problematic. She's painted in a dark blue metallic, polished with micromesh polish. The kit has a few...- Dave Jay
