    Best model you ever made?

    Hi Lee, the tractor is a Airfix 1/12 Shaun the Sheep from Wallace and Grommet. Very hard to get now. I think it is supposed to be based on a Ford 3000 range.

    Paint fumes, do I need to worry?

    Yes, they should be okay for light painting. Anything that is going to take time best to get a proper filter type, John sells some in the shop I think, that's where I bought mine from.

    Paint fumes, do I need to worry?

    Paints are better in terms of pigments, thinners etc. It is still advisable to wear a even a decorators mask as acrylic paints, especially if airbrushing do atomize and are in the air, you are breathing those minute particles in. I have COPD from smoking, work environment but, also from years...

    Paint fumes, do I need to worry?

    Good practice is to always open a window if you can, ventilation is key even for small painting jobs. Larger jobs, airbrushing etc get a fume box and ventilate it outside using a hose. Any rattle can usage do outside. Always wear a rated mask if you need to.

    First off, I hope you all had a wonderful Xmas. Secondly, although modelling has stopped, as some of you know, I have got a new AFV...a RC 1/16 Bradley. Just some painting and a bit of detailing but no making stuff. So, I am doing stuff just not building. I managed to get the pro version for...

    Going back to sci-fi.

    As many of you know, I do RC tanks and sunken junk but, I have made many other things in the past and...I am thinking of doing the Falcon chased by tie fighters in the asteroid belt. I will fit lights and a base etc. I am sourcing parts and seeing if this is a viable thing for me to do.

    This past week I have working on a model that a friend kindly sent me from the Tank Museum. A Meng, World War Toon Panzer IV. Easy to do and assemble, I ended up having to use some glue in places, supposed to be click fit and just did basic clean up work. Was a nice little build and enjoyed...
