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...

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...

Hi All...I am seeking to delve into the knowledge of any Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf D. experts out there in WWW land. I am having difficulties in obtaining the correct PE sets (Voyager) for the Dragon kit of the above type. I can get the Aber sets more easily but these are unfortunately for the AFV kits...

I have just finished the Great Wall Hobby kits of both the BMW 75 and the Zundaap.( I now know I don't have fingers for installing brake lines etc on a 1/35 scale bike). As I was going to use them in a winter themed diorama I would like to know if winter white camo was ever used on things like...

Just as the thread title says...are the PzKpfw I Ausf A's fenders the same specs as the PzKpfw I Ausf B's? I ask as I have been having trouble sourcing Ausf A PE fenders online from a reputable company but can get the Royal Model Ausf B fenders from someone I have done business with before...

My BR52 was almost building itself until I hit a snag with the construction of the steps leading up to the driver's cabin. No matter what I do ( and options are limited due to predrilled holes in the etch telling you were to attatch things) I can't get the sides of the steps to fit inside the...

After mentioning that I was going to learn to solder in order to build the Voyager etch part of my BR-52 I was given a large length of flux cored solder. As I have not had previous experience with this and have only seen tutorials with liquid flux I am wondering if it is suitable or not. Can it...

I know I have asked this one before but with the combination of moving to the new site, my PC being reformatted after crashing and my ratty memory I need to ask it again. Does anyone know what site the fantastic tutorial on making rifle slings out of tin foil and copper wire is on? The answer...

Call it laziness, call it whatever you want but I really dislike mixing paints to get what I want if I can buy it already in a tube. Having said that... Does anybody know of an Australian stockist of Mig oil paints? I thought I did see one a while back but have not been able to find them again.

I bought a 1/35 Russian Tanker (resin) on a whim for a dollar. Got no use for it so if you live in Australia and would like it let me know. The helmet has some chunky detail that needs to be sanded down but nothing needs to be filled on it. He's standing with one arm reaching out as if he was...

For fun I am building a car rusting away in a dump....with it's very own family of squatter chickens. The main focus of the thing will be a rooster standing on the hood and for that I will be using a Tamiya rooster. With the importance the rooster plays in the scene the out of the box details...

While perusing my local art supplies store I noticed bottles of liquid graphite paint that I had not seen before. For 3 bucks a bottle I figured it would be worth getting a couple to try them out and I am so glad that I did. There were two brands to choose from... one being Monte Marte water...

While I have been painting figures for some time I have painted almost entirely with acrylics and a small amount of oils. As a consequence I have no familiarity with enamels ... other than painting the woodwork on my house. Can anyone fill me in on how oils and enamels behave when used...

As the subject titles says .... where can I find a maker and stockist of modern German military figures... 1/35 scale to be exact. I was sure that Google would spit out at least one example for me but that is not to be the case. WWII, no problems, but 70's and 80's is a different case...

Yes .... it is another question on primers. I have not had a problem with basing my figures with Games Workshop spray paint or automotive primers but now that I have crossed over to armour modelling I have encountered an annoying issue with protecting my photoetch. I am not a good enough...

I have finally made my way over to this funky new site .... thanks moon puppy for sorting my registration out. This time my aim is to actually post some pics of the trouble I have been getting into with craft knives and superglue. I keep saying I am going to do it but then a sparkly new kit...
