1/24 scale from Acadamy. Now you can own your own scale model of a scale model shop. A nostalgic reminder of when you had that local hobby store that covered all your hobby needs before we had to rely on Amazon, Ebay et al

It's a coincidence, but exactly one year after the flooding in our area in Germany I dug out one of the sardine can models I sometimes made when I was still making 1/700 ships and which survived on top of the shelf. Before storing it away again I made some pictures - here they...

Now, about that stash.....

..however, turns out he does build them!

Our local Warhammer shop kindly donated 20 models of the same figure for our next Club modelling competition,

Here are my efforts,

A few years ago (already...), I presented you some aircraft models in the one true scale ..., and in metal.

But, the problem is that this collection has grown a bit... :oops: :oops:

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.

Hey fellas!

Wanted to show you a little recent project that was a really nice break from the bigger, more exciting projects I've been working on. This one was almost a complete exercise in fun.

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

...starting with this one:-

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.

Caught out by the...

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...

1:8 Academy Pearl single bass drum set.

I've put them here as this looks a little large in his hand to be 1/144.

Hey guys!

Recently I was approached by the president of the museum and a fellow BOD member with a request to find and build a 1/24th scale OH-6 of our own combat vet.

His plan was to give a close ally of the museum (a local trucking company that has helped with the...

…at least it’s plastic…?!

I have no affiliation to this seller from darkest Devon. However, as I have shamelessly stolen their images I thought it only right to credit them.

Points of interest
- Prices
- Many of us would have built a number of these 1/72 'back in the day'
- competition to fly in a...

Just been looking at the F-Toys website for possible further info on the possible 1:144 Spitfire release.

Full Action 1:72 Volume 7 has been announced as a Blue Impulse F-86. The market will be more limited than for the earlier releases but it is good to see continued activity.

Just got hold of a couple of Revell PT boat kits, one being an early war representation of JFKs boat and the other a late war model with extra guns etc. Both stated to be 1/72. Neither come with crew figures which sort of puts a damper on any diorama presentation. Other than...

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Razor Crest Bandai Box Scale kit WIP. This is my interpretation..... Haven't seen the series, so it's going on screenshots and some short clips..... So far so good.

So after building a 1/48th scale Jeep for my father last year for X-MAS, I was wondering how to top it this year. At the same time my parents bought a pre-built shed that was supposed to be the Jeep's home in the case of an emergency. Well that went out the window, and its...
