These auctions are a monthly occurrence here but i thought by way of a change and a bit of fun i would post this one as it has some US stuff. You can scroll through the lots after you have clicked on one item with the next lot button top right. Note the Camo Pyjamas made from a US silk...

Are there any tips for using panel line paints ? I have some Mig paints , what they PLW panel line wash. In the videos the guy touches the panel line with this stuff and it pings round the panel line almost instantly. I have tried everything and it just sits in a blob, with my latest project i...

Here we go again and a massive departure for me from recent builds. This is often described as the greatest kit ever produced but I suspect most would beg to differ. Nearly 400 parts on 22 trees +clear and 2 PE sheets make for a pretty comprehensive model definitely not aimed at the beginner...

Something i have never been good at is seeing a colour and being able to break it down to its components. This petrol tank is supposedly silver but this colour looks spot on to me and its not really silver. Lets face it paint manufacturers idea of silver is usually a bit odd as they try and...

This is a project I shelved years ago as I simply didn’t have the know how to do what I wanted to do. As usual with these old kits the spokes in the wheels are 1mm, scaled up that’s 9mm and it spoils the model having double thickness spokes. ~you don’t have a chance of fooling anyone its not a...

https://www.italeri.com/uploads/news/m0H2ETdXEaGQXiJMctrQbfhwFy7xwUJRornocTdM.pdf for me there is an all new 1/12 Mercedes vintage race car and 1/9 Matchless G50 vintage racing motorcycle so very pleased :-) Shame i just bought the Matchless in its original Protar form :bash:

if anyone comes across "ORIGINAL" pictures, not colourised, of Spitfires in the Desert i would love to see them My theory is that prop blast and high speed mixed with sand and high temps equals death to paint. of course people look at restored aircraft and other peoples models but i think the...

As the title says, check out this buy in France https://www.emarin-regard.fr/gn-jap.html

I have been watching what i think is a US TV show called Turn ? Set in the war of independence they keep referring to the British army (red coats) as the Royal Army. This mystifies me because the Army has never been the Royal army unlike the Royal Navy and the Royal Airforce . The army dates...

I built one of these a couple of years ago here https://modelersalliance.org/threads/fiat-806-gp-finished.156959/ For this reason i wasnt going to do thread this time but i think, as i plan to do something different this time if only to bounce ideas off the rest of you as most of this will be...

As I have already mentioned elsewhere my next plan is to do a civilian take on Italeri’s 1/9 Harley WLA motorcycle from the late 1930’s The kit depicts a military version and while it differs quite a lot from the civy version that’s mostly extra parts rather than missing parts. The big...

more and more i am finding this on multiple web sites especially those on the other side of the pond, (your side :-) )

The MFH car is all but finished but i am waiting on some micro springs for the exhaust, no doubt i will end up winding them myself but lets see what MFH can offer, its next day delivery from the UK. I do have a guy waiting for a Spitfire but i am not feeling it at the moment and no point in...

I have been pondering a model makers lathe for a while and i am sure i have broached the subject before because i remember Chris posting pictures of his collet based watchmakers lathe. Its one of those things i struggle with as i am not sure i would get the value from it. It may present...

Being a bit a bit deaf i always have the sub titles on my TV but more and more these days as AI takes over the results can be more Funny than useful. This is a screen shot from my TV while watching a program about the battle of the Somme WWI

Not political because this is a State visit hosted by the King not the government. I dont know what sort of coverage you have over there but i thought you might like to se these pictures https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gqd70v496o in my 65 years this is the biggest state visit i have...

Never an easy topic for Bob to broach but I hope he will forgive me if I give it a go on his behalf. I was surprised and bit upset to see that Bob is paying $60 a month or over $700 a year for us to enjoy this Forum. I know some of us contribute to a tip jar but I had no idea what I donate...

So i am laying the foundations here of my first MFH car build. Its rather daunting being multi media, white metal, resin, vac form etc, basically a whole new experience for me. I dont really know what to expect in terms of fit, drilling required and alignment. I guess i will need a good flat...

I do wish MFH would either go back to making F1 cars or cars with roofs and give me a break dont they realise that when i retired, my wallet retired as well. Announced yesterday for pre order and delivery in Sept. I couldn't resist this having failed miserably with my Revell E-type build, a...
