AK Interactive Real Colors

“The new Real Colors paint range is a very, very special step forward for AK. And we guess for you, too.”  – quote from AK Interactive website I feel spoiled being a modeller in 2019 with all the fantastic paints we have compared to the stuff we had in the early 80’s when I built my first scale models. Not only do we have a choice between paint types – we also have a wide choice of colours! Sadly finding...

AK Interactive Weathering Pencils

Watercolour pencils?! Is this the latest and greatest for paint and weathering or is it something that we buy on a whim and never use again?

On the bench #10

Ok, this is almost one year since my last On the bench post but living with a spinal injury can throw a bigger than usual spanner in the machinery sometimes and last spring it did… I’m ok-ish again and I’m back modelling but I had a long period where it just wasn’t possible due to severe migraine and dodgy eyesight caused by various nerve damage I guess?! I started tinkering with a model around Christmas and...
