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...

As Monty Python used to say…..And now for something completely different XP966 in 1964 and 1976 This is Revells 1/32 Aerospatiale Alouette II From 1996 . A quick look at Britmodeler for advice, (I got chucked of that site so I can only look) shows about 7 build blogs over 11 years...

So here we have a part built MFH 1/9 Brough Superior bought in an online auction. Someone has assembled part of the engine and put it in the frame and assembled one wheel. unfortunately he has hand painted the black parts and they look awful. First job is to see if i can get this all apart and...

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...

Lets cheer ourselves up In the UK the Blossom is on the trees The daffodils are out Spring is in the Air...................and so are the Spitfires again Pleasure trip season has started :-)

Firstly i have no idea what i am talking about but here goes.... What sort of definition/detail/accuracy with a home 3D printer print too ? I have several MFH chains to make and they are pretty near impossible in the soft castings and PE set MFH supply I have some parts left over from the...

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...

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...

So whats it all about then ? Model Factory Hiro is a Japanese company that makes white metal kits, very much the same as a plastic kit but, you guessed it, in white metal. They mostly make cars and motorcycles but i think there has been the odd Tank and ship...
