I know it isn't a tanky thing but I am after instructions for Tom's Modelworks PE #3524 which is for the Konig/Kurfurst. I bought the set some time back and decided to take the instructions out to read. Was planning to put them back but ended up having to pack my bag and catch the next flight...

I have been having trouble finding suitable aftermarket photoetch for Academy's M3 Grant. Eduard make an interior and exterior set but it does not seem to have a great deal of detail. Griffon on the other hand make a nice set of PE but it is for the American M3 Lee. As best as I can determin...

Great SBS tutorial and certainly negates the need to buy expensive commercial punch and die sets. You don't even need to have some perspex lying around. I use a couple of scrap bits of evergreen sheet and just put a little extra care in lining the punch up to compensate for the styrene being...

This is also a great little technique for things like floor mats etc. too and I often use it to reproduce or copy parts of photoetch. Also good for rubbing over photoetch uniform badges and insignia.

I am happy the way that it is.I would much rather the better quality of pic so I can make out the fine detail. Being able to enlarge the pic without loss is a nice feature too. Just my 2 bobs worth ( not wise to say on this site)

You certainly have some of the neatest and cleanest metalwork I have seen. My own soldering iron and tips are still sitting in a drawer unused after being purchased more than 6 months ago. I know I am not going to have a chance to be as good as you unless I break them out and give it a go but I...

There have been some fantastic models and dioramas recently with snow and icicles that are perfect examples for a diorama I am working on. The snow I can stumble through and have made bi-carb snow in the past but I would like to know how to make those wonderful icicles I have been seeing...

I found that I HAD to go the OCD route of collating and organizing things in tackle boxes (hence the introduction of the spares box) as my previous method was to do as most have and put them in various places and boxes being sure I would remember where it all was next time I needed something...

You are certainly right about karma James. Karma that is helped along by naming and shaming such a bottom dwelling vendor. The fact that he decided not to help to the fullest speaks volumes as to whether the item was even posted in the first place. Sounds like he was looking for any excuse. Hope...

ARRRRRGH! My ears are bleeding... my eyes have been blinded...never...pressing...play on...Utube video..... again. Seriously, welcome to T&T. I have found it to be a very useful and friendly place and it seems like you have alot going on on your workbench to show off when you get settled in here.

That looks fantastic Ant. I like the realism and added detail that it gives a diorama. I will have to give it a try and see if it is easier than my current method which is to use a scrapbooking embossing template I bought a few years back for military modelling unrelated purposes. It is perfect...

Cheyenne hit the nail on the head with practise practise and then do it some more. I am new to this myself and all the tutorials in the world haven't done half as much as sitting down and giving different things a go for myself. If anything, while I understand the tutorial it only serves to...

Thank you to all who answered my query. I appreciate you measuring the kits for me Vlad. One would think that the two should be very similar but I am glad that I asked now and didn't assume that would be right. I really want to make the ABER photoetch fenders and I would imagine it would be...

Many of the smaller parts get put into clear multi partitioned plastic hobby boxes ... a bit like thread/floss boxes or small tackle boxes. That way I can put all my firearms and small weapons in one. Others are for things like helmets, badges and clothing items, small PE leftovers, wheels and...

That certainly is one BIG beast. Where did you get the figure that is standing closest to the business end of the barrel? I like his pose how he is standing at a slight angle with the arm raised. Great camo too.
