I am already thinking about the next build but in the UK the tax year ends on the 5th April and i absolutely must get my tax sorted :) I am slowly winding up the business however we have a stupid system here where we get a state pension that we pay into during our working life however we also...

A little problem I ran into today. I don’t know if any of you use a light box ? its basically just a box with some LED’s in it that illuminates a subject so you can take a picture of it. They are very useful, I bought mine because I wanted to take hundreds of pictures of all the items I sell...

Just thinking out loud here..... There are a lot of model kits about now that are pushing the boundaries of detail, sophistication and costs. I had my own questions on this with Pocher and the only real answer was to buy one. My conclusion was that the quality and detail is dependant...

Hang there Paddy, didnt you build one of these a while back ? Well yes i did as it happens, but i had problems with shattering parts due to the spirit based washes i used, ill fitting hood, again my fault and i also auctioned it off for Charity so i dont have one of these for myself. Here is...

I have decided to start a thread for this but it may be premature. No worries i can dig it out of the archives when i want to update it. I should have called this thread "We're going to need a bigger Boat Bench " but "Pocher" makes it easier to find. I picked this up today about 40 miles up...

Here's a bit of Fun then Do you have a model that you always wanted and for some reason never got ? Maybe its too expensive ? out of production or just , you never got round to it ? For me its always been the Tamiya Lotus 7 or Caterham 7 as they now but it has to be the 1/12 model.... When...

So..off we go then. I have to say for the first time in ages i am really looking forward to this build. :) Looking in the box things look very promising for a 50 year old kit. I tend to think with tamiya that a 1970s kit is on a par with your average 1990s kit from most other makers. This one...
