Hi Malcolm I didn't know that faller water texture was still about - I'll seek some out. Lovely job! Re the NeOmega HDML it was at Telford - it looks stunning and I would have got one except that British Phantoms had somewhat blown the budget! I know at least one member of the 'Yacht Club' was unabl...

Scale Model World 2023

Well....what a show !! This year felt much more like the old days with a buzz and positivity that was palpable, under the new system we paid for extra tables but this brought certainty to planning (it was essentially a lottery before)and you all rose to the occasion magnificently. We tried to vary t...

Lincoln 15th October 2023

The SIG had a great day out at Lincoln yesterday, lovely Autumn sunshine and a friendly venue The two Davids, Hart and Ferrari Emma, Tim and YT found ourselves with a super 12' double depth table in a sunny hall. The low sun resulted in some squinting during set up (and at one moment some concern wh...

Re: Vanguard Fund Raising Appeal.

A worthy cause deserving of support - very soft spot for Invicta - there was a time when they were my local airline. Of course it will have to be restored as a fully inter-active experience for the visitors with virtual tours hosted by a cute CGI character who will explain all parts of the giant pla...

Re: Macchi M.5

That gives a whole new meaning to 'surface detail sanded off and replaced with finer' ! As a mere assembler of kits it never ceases to amaze me what you scratchbuilders achieve - lovely !!

Re: LCM 120

Lovely job on the camo scheme too (I was going to say 'spot on' but a pun too far methinks). if it had been applied today they would call it 'digital' - then it was 'labour-intensive sailors with brushes'.

St Ives 24th September 2023

The SIG had a crackin' day out at St Ives (no, not the Cornwall one) on Sunday. Huge thanks to Terry for organising it. Brampton club (whose show it is) always have a slick operation so set-up was greatly aided by Terry having got the table ready for David and YT when we got there. Expecting there j...

Re: Keighley - 17th September 2023

I suspect that with Terry showing over at Wings n Things we probably had more models on show on Sunday than the SIG has ever had. My thanks to everybody concerned for what proved to be classic demonstration of the how the SIG can respond to changing situations. still an MRCS!* We had anticipated a r...
