Upcoming Book Reviews
It’s been winter – a bl**dy cold, snowy and miserable one too – and many days have just been to cold for modelling so i started reading a couple books instead and got inspired to expand the reference library. I usually don’t look at others work when I paint and weather my scale models but recently I’ve found a lot of inspiration looking at others work, so even if I don’t copy what I see it gets the...
DSPIAE ST-A Single Blade Nipper 2.0
This is all the hype in the modelling world at the moment – in fact such a hype that these nifty pair of cutters are very hard to get hold of regardless of where you are in the world! I’m also an electronics hobbyist and have tinkered with making all sorts of electronic things since I was a young lad so I’ve always had more than a couple of electronics side cutters. These were also the tools I’ve been using...
On the bench #9

This is what I woke up to on Tuesday morning… sigh.

The schools are closed and many major roads are...

First to release a new Panther was Meng with their...

Vignette & Diorama book review X 3
I’m by all means no expert in diorama/vignette making. In fact I see myself as someone who’s just started to learn the black art of this very wide subject and I recently decided to get some books on the subject to improve the basics and to get inspiration and I think I’ve bought three of the very best books on the subject! Vignettes – a how to guide by Joaquin Garcia Gázquez This book was the first one I...
