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 !!

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'.
nice one sir !

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...

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...

I really must finish some more armour...

SIG goes to Stafford The SIG had a great day out yesterday at the Stafford Show Ground venue. Huw, Emma & Tim plus yours truly showed a lot (I don't think we actually counted, so the technical term 'lot' applies)of models across the various genres. Under-table sales are allowed at Stafford so Hu...

modelling and art combine - and a superb job too sir. It is a joy to see that the vignette is no longer just the preserve of the armour and figure modellers

Can confirm everything Tim says - Shirl and I popped in en-route Pickering when we realised we would be 'passing the door' Really good to see the SIG so ably represented at such a friendly show (catering was outstanding too!)In another lifetime I used to do figures and the standard on show was excep...
