With the Razor Crest recently built, its time for another couple of quickies (I hope!) I'll build these two together, and see if I can improve on the Dropship This variant from the same stable was built many years back, and never really finished the paint job/seam coverage. Was made from...

Hello one and all... Not been about for a few months, due to technical issues within my old carcass, approaching my mid-50's the body has started to act up. Thus I was not in my usual zone to keep myself motivated in doing much, let alone model making. Hopefully, touch wood, and after more...

Needing to clear space on the workbench, I thought it was time to get my act together! I've had this kit knocking about for ages, and with a new mindset of finishing things, it HAD to be finished. Conceived from the great mind of Ron Cobb, this take on the 'ALIENS' APC caught my eye. Taken...

ANYONE KNOW IF THERE'S A TEMPLATE OUTHERE FOR THE 'BEBOP' FROM 'COWBOY BEBOP'

In a effort to help out fellow builder @seraphim - I shall be building the Shuttle craft, or Orion Clipper fro the film 2001 A Space Odyssey. A plastic model of this ship sat in my brothers display case for many years, before I actually saw it at the cinema, gracefully spinning into action so...

As a kid watching the Buck Rodgers tv show of the late 70's early 80's this loveable little robot had a unique charm. I had the Mego action figures of Mr Rodger's and Twiki when they were first released, Buck survives, but only in pieces and Twiki has been lost to the world! Its quite sad to...

Well, hot on the heels of my 3rd place Bird of Prey win, I get another win as one of my card models has made a small appearance in a newsagent publication. A few months ago, a scale model reviewer of all things tractors, combine harvesters and other farm machinery asked our chairman of the...

Just before Christmas it was our last Model Meet for 2023 and the competition round was 'OPEN CLASS' - finally out of the four competitions we hold each year, I have something which can take part! Lots of cool and well done models, please have a look. Oh and I won a third place for my Klingon...

A rainy weekday in October and the monthly visit to my local model group was in order. Resurrected after a good few years was the reintroduction of 'bring and build' kit night - scale was chosen at 1/144th scale. A few intrepid builders brought a selection of their tools, paints and hairy...

When I saw The Empire Strikes Back as a 10 year old, the main vehicle which stuck in my mind was the Imperial Walkers. Their lumbering hulks thumping over the snow was truly mesmerising... The All Terrain Armoured Transports currently ranks at number two in my Star Wars hardware of love, so I...

Anyone know if there's a download for the phasers as seen in the Wrath of Khaaaaaaaan!?

As a kid my brother Dale had his cabinet full of spaceships, but in the midst of them all was this lone car - The Lamborghini Countach. Its sublime and futuristic design stuck with me all through my childhood and whenever possible I would buy Matchbox and other toy cars of this beautiful...

Apologies to you all for no recent updates or posts. My cat Hudson, whom some of you have seen in my pictures became unwell, with a heart condition causing fluid build up. Various tests were done to see what could be done to help his condition - but this was not to be. Just over 2 weeks ago I...

Recovery or REME vehicles which come to the aid of, or help out on the battle field are some of my favourite tracked vehicles. Cranes, odd attachments, cables, stowage and bulldozers - all those cool things which make them look better than a massive gun! When this was put up for download, I...

My local scale model group has made me very humbled indeed... Pictured by the Local Groups Admin at the December meet-up my Moon Bus was made the header card for our January facebook page. Whilst none of the three models I entered won the the top three slots, they were heavily scrutinised and...

As a fair-weather supporter of Star Trek over the years my interest in all things nacelles started and pretty much ended with the Wrath of Khan. The Enterprise, whilst beloved by many is not really in my top-ten star ships, but the Reliant would certainly fill one of those spots. Looking...

A few more pics of my recently completed sub.
