Re: Paint & Glue Miniatures
I've just received a couple of vehicles from Paint & Glue and I have to say I'm staggered by the quality of printing - best 3D printed detail I've ever seen. I would just like them to make the vehicles I need for a diorama I've been planning for a long while. There are four types of vehicle each...
Re: Canopies
Mike's post has given me a new insight. Hoarding plastic kits is a means of carbon capture!
Re: Canopies
I used to plug mould canopies quite a lot in my unredeemed 1:72 days but I find it very hard to reach the level of precision needed in 1:144. If I remember rightly the canopy on this scratchbuilt Cutlass is plug moulded (it's a very big canopy for 1/144) but I wouldn't have had a hope of moulding th...
Re: Canopies
Painting windows black or another colour is a convention that currently runs at its strongest in airliner modelling. Opinions vary but many civil aviation modellers prefer the appearance of black or dark grey windows to that of glazed passenger cabin windows, which often resemble little lenses rathe...

The Douglas DSC-2
The General Electric Fusormak of 1952 made space flight practical, but the Douglas Space Craft 2 of 1959 made it economical. These are episodes in the long career to date (2/26/2035) of the 42nd DSC-2 spaceframe, USAF serial 60-21577. She entered service in 1963 as a VCSF-2, working regularly on fla...

He can do solid colours by overprinting white. The samples I saw of lettering on railway subjects were impressive and he has do...
