Really hard to tell these days. Once Spitfires became too expensive to leave outside RAF stations at the gate, a company started producing fiberglass replicas to take over the role of gate guardian. Meanwhile this one was real but like an idiot i set the shutter speed to high and froze the...

So this is Tamiya's 1:6 Honda 750 race bike. Its a bit of an oddity and was always in the shadow of their CB750 classic road bike. The modal dates from 1971 so lets see how it stands up today. First thing you notice, or at least i did, is the wheel rims are wrong. the picture on the box is...

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...

I am still struggling with my picture quality, its odd but on my computer they look very good but uploaded they lose a lot. Playing around this morning i found taking the picture in Nikon Raw and saving it as a 1000 width Jpeg this is 400k I then saved it from raw as a PNG file at 3000 width...

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...
