    Fathers Day Treat.

    Hi all, I've not been on for a while and it looks like I've been missing some fine modelling. I thought I'd just share this one with you as it got my juices flowing. Spent Fathers Day at Harewood House in North Yorkshire (father in-law runs the place) and they had a classic car rally on which...

    BLOODY TARAWA - Betio November 1943

    Hi all, I've posted this in a new thread as I've changed the title + I got the date wrong in the original. I'm calling this one finished, I could quite happily tinker with it for another millenia but fear I would probably end up ruining it. I have made a few asthetics over accuracy choices but...

The scene is to have a burnt out Japanese gun position, an LVT 1 hitting the beach and a group of marines taking cover / providing covering fire for them to...

    Pukin' Dogs

    Well after what feels like an absolute age I finally managed to finish this baby. It's an Academy 1/48 F-14A, the kit was on whole not too bad but I had some major fit issues with the join under the cockpit and there was very little detail here too so after lots filling, sanding and re-scribing...

    Ficus benjamina

    I apologise If putting the above titled thread in the bits bin was not the right place for it. I should probably explain that the leaves are for making palm leaves for a diorama not some weird fetish or anything. Anyway if anyone can help I would be most grateful. Regards Chris

    Holy Hydra's & Hellfire's

    Just a little back story on this one: when I were a lad and making lots of models my SOP for building a kit was to slap it together, slap some paint on and stick the canopy on last. (I know, I know but I was young) The last kit I made before I moved on to other things (drinking beer and chasing...

    Hi all, I'm after a wee bit of advice regarding the above mentioned paint. I got me a couple of pots for an up coming build but have never used it before so: can you airbrush with it? What can you dilute it with and to what ratio. All advice welcome Regards Chris

    Almost brought a tear to my eye.

    Got home from work and despite the awful weather, as there was a break in the rain my 2 year old daughter wanted to play in the garden so I obliged by going outside with her. No sooner had we gone outside we heard the familiar roar of a merlin engine (as it gets closer to airshow season the...
