Well it looks as if Christine didn't sell the Grandchildren after all to buy the Lincoln. One of my club mates gave me a couple of rather well loved airliners and I thought these my be fun for Josh and I to play with.

I was looking for drying and recoat times on a rattle can of TS-80 Flat Clear and spotted this warning ...

From that, I gather you should never spray your models with Tamiya rattle cans unless you live outside of California or, if you are unfortunately a resident of Los...

Greetings, my fellow modelers!

I wasn't sure where to post this, but after consulting with Smeg, a forum about modelers and their stories seemed like a good place.

My modeling is about half models, and half fictional wargame which took a fun dramatic turn along the way. Since...

I thought this was quite interesting, a guy in Japan has used a monitor 22-24inch? as a base for his 1/3000 shipyard.
interesting features is obviously the animated water, but I particularly like the shadow effects for the clouds, wakes and aircraft over flights...

Hazel's husband died earlier this year and she kindly donated his stash and built modles to our club. I asked Hazel would like one of Steve's models refurbished? She asked for a build of the Airfix 1/72 Phantom in 43 squadron as she was based at Leuchars.

Backstory:
As a kid who grew up in the 90's in a house full of model...

And that's the result, here is where my models...

Well that is not annoying at all! :o :roll: that's quite a useful source of information gone down the pan.

You can still access Yahoo JP via resale sites such as Buyee but the search and accessibility isn't as good as the native Yahoo JP interface.

I buy 90% of my kits on ebay and for many years I have had good service from the ebay/PayPal team.
As far as I know ebay owns PayPal .
I went to make a purchase on ebay and I could not find a PayPal option.
Anyone know why I can't use Paypal for ebay purchases?
Does not make...

I laugh every time I read these. Which one is your favorite?

A formerly quiet, rural Italian town on the long road between Napoli and Roma becomes the scene of more fighting as German soldiers slowly falling back up the Italian peninsula, resist fiercely against the seemingly unstoppable advance of Allied forces.

Hey Folks,

I've recently started some 1:700 age of sail projects for use in tabletop gaming (Old Dominion Game Works Post Captain rules).

I was wondering if there was a forum or other resource for 1:700 builders in the same way we have 1:144 here.

Anyone else here dabble in...
