    Stirling Glider Tug

    Very nice. Its a shame about the dust. I have the same problem. I reckon someone should invent anti dust paint

    A-10 by Tamiya, First wingy thing project

    I love the A10. I built the Italeri one recently. My only advice and it's probably the same with the Tamiya kit is to make sure you put a decent amount of weight in the nose before you glue the fuselage, otherwise the tail will end up resting on the floor. I used two 5p's and some blue tack for...

    How to get better flow accross panel lines?

    Ah you see i use a big brush rather than spray it. Maybe i should buy it in a can and ill probably get a more even coverage

    How to get better flow accross panel lines?

    Hi guys. Im using humbrol gloss varnish and only one coat with humbrol enamel wash. The problem i find with using two coats of gloss is it fills in the panel lines too thick so i have to score them. Maybe applying enamel thinner to the lines after glossing and using a 0 size brush will help as...

    How to get better flow accross panel lines?

    Hi guys I've been model making for a couple of years now and one problem keeps coming up which is, when I use a colour wash on panel lines I am not able to achieve a nice capillary action like I've seen in a lot of how to videos. I tend to get away with it most of the time but I end up having...

    I think the cd cassette idea is good also you could use some clear plastic packaging

    Joe's completed Stop the Pigeon Contraption

    haha, that's brilliant. I love the net it's very dastardly (is that even a word?). I must get round to doing my one soon.

    Revell 1/72 Eurocopter Tiger HAP

    That's a great build. I have the same kit but with German markings and optics on the front instead of the 30m cannon

    Flexible or angled Diamond Files?

    Thanks, I've found a few on Amazon I just wondered if there were any particularly good ones but, I guess they're all pretty much the same. I did find out you can get a Dremmel which has a long flexible rotary chuck extension which looks really handy.

    Flexible or angled Diamond Files?

    Hi Folks I'm trying to find out if anyone knows of any kind of diamond file that is flexible, for getting around corners or angled parts of a model kit? Most of the stuff I have to file down is on a flat surface but sometimes parts can be difficult to reach. I tried bending a cheap diamond...

    Airfix Junkers JU87 Stuka 1:72 by Alex

    Thanks, I look forward to seeing it up here when it's finished. I still haven't made a bigger scale aircraft yet, mainly because 1:72 fits better in my limited storage space.

    Airfix Junkers JU87 Stuka 1:72 by Alex

    Hi guys It's been a while since I last posted a build and this is my latest one which I'm calling finished I opted for the more complex camo scheme and I'm quite happy with the result, I like to challenge myself but some transfers didn't make it and ended up getting crumpled so I had to be a...

    1:72 and 1:76 what's the deal here?

    So with regards to dioramas i will have to go with 1:76 armour to match a 1:72 aircraft. I'm making a stuka at the moment in 1:72 and i plan to put it on display next to a 40mm bofors anti aircraft gun in desert camo. I think a 1:35 scale would look too big if ibwas displaying them next to each...
