Airfix space shuttle. 01.JPG 01 From 1600 century sailing ship to 2000 century spaceship. Now I've never built a space shuttle kit before, strange as it seems, but I did buy the Airfix kit a long time ago and it's sat in my stash for years. Part of the reason for this was the thought of doing the sh...

Rummaging around I found some kits that I brought together and thought you might like my take on the Airfix Bloodhound missile scene in 1/144 and before you ask, I cannot remember who's kits I used. The groundwork was a bit of an old airfield/hardstanding that was left over from another project. A b...

Another boat for the marina. Starling Models RAF Air Sea Rescue Launch dug out. Found a display case that the boat would fit in, so started on the seascape for display/storage. Sea made with my normal method (Toilet tissue /PVA glue) 1-144 ASR Launch 18-02-2025 016.JPG Parts are tiny & brittle b...

Elizabethan race-built Galleon “Revenge” Navy Royal Gravelines 1588 “Phew” finished. My first sailing ship build with so much rigging. Started at the beginning of October last year and spent about 2 hours daily building it. Its certainty taught me some new modelling skills and techniques, but I've r...

The fun continues.

Keighly model show was really kind to me and my family as my youngest grandson won his first model class at his first try, at only his second model show (Not 1/144 unfortunately) although he did have a couple of his models on the SIG stand. I won best in show which I NEVER expected as I only entered...

The handrails on the Conning tower fitted, and the top rail removed and a new replacement handrail fitted using 020” Evergreen plastic rod with the intention of then doing the lower handrails but the impression on looking at the effect of only replacing the upper rail was quite effective so left the...

Revell Type IX U-Boat Just received the new Revell type IX U-Boat. Apart from some rather heavy hull side detail looks very nice. Might try a different way of displaying the model by mounting it on a base, full hull, but adding a “Faller” water line surface, plus “Germania Figurens” deck crew. (As p...

NeOmega,s Dog boat. Cotton wool stuck to waves and after letting the “Clear” dry the access wool removed. 03 MTB 701 010.JPG 03 MTB 701 011.JPG 03 MTB 701 012.JPG Wave effects now complete and crew added so model now complete. Hope you like it. I sure did even while squinting to see the parts. 03 MT...
