In order to try and get myself back into building (to which I have a number of kits on the pile to finish off) I decided on this nice little build. I've always wanted to build the Red October, complete with caterpillar hydro drive. Though this kit is a tad on the small side for me to make to...

Morning All! I'm venturing into attempting a winter Splinter camo pattern paint job, but I'm entirely sure how to go about it? I'll mainly be using rattle can spray and some serious masking, but I was hoping any experts in this type of camo patterns could pass along any tips please...

Morning All! I was wondering if it is possible to obtain the Aoshima BTTF II time machine DeLorean decals at all? O have the Polar Lights 1:25 scale but the options are pretty pathetic for the decals....in fact there are just 1......the license plate. Thank in advance :)

Afternoon all, I wonder if anyone can help please? I'm looking to build a Blackburn Beverley 1/72 scale for my dad and his 70th Birthday. He spent the majority of his career in the RAF flying in these and I want to build on in 30 Squadron for him. My problem is, I have no idea how to work...

Saw this posted by Adam Savage & Aaron Douglas yesterday. If you have a spare 1hr 8mins its well worth a watch for some great build tips and some great stories from Aaron Douglas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHITcrnGn1U I've actually met Aaron Douglas, and he truly is a super nice guy...

Afternoon all! So a friend of mine has asked me to build him a Spitfire for a project he's working on and needed a highly detailed kit to use as reference points, pose it and and work with. So, as the dutiful friend I said yes, no problem....bearing in mind that this is the first aircraft I...

Afternoon all! I've been asked to build the 1/32 scale Revell Spitfire MK IIa for a project they are doing. What I would like to try and achieve is fabricating a mechanism to raise and lower the landing gear. As I've never done anything like this before, and advise on scratch building such a...

Morning All!! Me again.... I'm having issues trying to find a reliable supplier of pre-wired 9v LED's that is based in the UK. I've tried the usual places of e-bay and amazon, and even googled with no real luck. So I ask my fellow UK based modellers....Do you have a reliable supplier of...

Morning All, So over the past few months I've been teaching myself how to light up a kit, with the help of a Grendels and a few others too. The subject is a Klingon D7 Cruiser from Revell's ST:TOS series at the bargain sum of £5. This has been mainly a technical exercise to push my own...

Morning All!! Probably a very obvious answer to this, but I'm struggling to find a solution. I've been trying to locate the magnetic contact switches that some modellers on here use, only I cannot find them anywhere. What I want to achieve is having one magnet on the base of a model, so...

Morning All!! If possible, may i tap into the wealth of knowledge from my fellow SMA's.... I'm finishing up my first lit kit of a D7 Battle cruiser (pics to follow on the Sci-Fi thread when complete) and my next project is the 2009 Into Darkness Enterprise. I have a lighting kit & manual to...

Morning all! So this weekend was my day of birth.....and I was surprised to receive Revell's Star Trek Into Darkness Enterprise. This is a 1:500 scale and is pretty darn big!! 588mm bow to stern. I am planning on lighting it up, nut in a cost effective and easy method.....taking advantage...

Morning all, I've been trying to locate a kit of the work horse of the RAF during the 1950's & 60's, the Blackburn Beverley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Beverley My dad during his years of serviced in the RAF flew in these a lot, especial with the "Dirty" 30 Squadron and I'd like...

Morning All, Hope you're all well? I have a spare Revell Viper MKII 1:32 scale and I've been toying with the idea of turning it into a T38 Talon the NASA trainer aircraft. I found this image (cant remember where) that has inspired me. My problem is and if anyone can offer their expert...

Morning all!! I decided to treat my self over the weekend and purchased the Polar Lights 1/1000 scale USS Enterprise Refit kit. Have to say, its absolutely stunning...and will be using the decal detail sheets as it seems to give a nice iridescence to the hull plating. Any who's.....I've been...

Morning All, I wonder if you fine people could help me please? I'm trying to locate a kit for the 1941 Gloster Meteor Jet powered by Sir Frank Whittles E.28/39 jet engine This would have been it I understand it also went under the alternative names of the Pioneer and/or the Squirt...

Morning all, I've kinda put the Mig-37 Ferret on the back burner for the moment as I found this beauty of a kit at Birmingham Comicon a few weeks back. The kit is from BanDai and is Mowe's glider from Studio Ghibli's first master piece - Nausicaa - Valley of the Wind Will be making a start on...

Hi, As per the title, I've just purchased the Italeri MiG 37 E - "Ferret" for the very reasonable sum of £7.49. I used to have a micromachine model of this when I was younger so this kit will be interesting to build. It's not yet arrived, hopefully in the next few days. My query is...
