Four years having passed since the release of Part Two, I’m delighted that the final part of my Tamiya Legacy project, is now ready to complete your three-part collection!

Days don’t have to be complex and filled with advanced techniques. Sometimes they are easy and filled with simple ones!

If you are building the brand-new Airfix 1/48 Jaguar GR.1A, this is the book for you. Grab your copy, today!

When modern weathered finishes take so long to complete, there’s part of me that wonders if an unweathered perfect finish, might be fun once in a while…

Talked to the pilot of this 106 at the 87’ Norton show and he said he’d be leaving early Monday morning. Got on the base near the old golf course on the perimeter road and took this, probably my favor...

I find pale colour schemes so difficult, I will take darker ones every day of the week…

ESCI: gone, but very much not forgotten…

After a friend passed away I volunteered to complete one of his models…

Hold on to friends and family: one day they will be gone…

Small businesses are there to be used. Welcome to The Dragon Soul Bikers Coffee Shop…

Stepping away from stylised aircraft models for a while, I’m trying to build something a little more true to life…

Acrylic paints are great to use until the temperatures rise and their drying times start to speed up…

I don’t care how old how rare or how sort-after a kit is, unless it is used for the purpose it was created, to result in a miniature you can look at, that kit has zero value to me.

It must be an age thing. These days I simply cannot remember what I have and if I do remember, where the hell I put it.

After last week’s quick build of the Miles M.52, today has been spent in front of the computer and my new book…

The Miles M.52 could have been a true pioneer but its cancellation before flight, means we have to make do with a new series of 3D printed kits, instead…

Bright finishes can be really tricky to paint, but sometimes success comes from the primer, rather than that final layer of colour…

When the isolation of building models takes over your life, it’s time to leave the studio for much-needed fresh air…

The Airfix 1/48 SEPECAT Jaguar has arrived. Let’s take a look at what modellers can expect from this new kit…

My Magic Factory A-4M Skyhawk is finally finished. Shall we get on with that book now..?

Welcome to the weekend but first, Airfix release their Jaguar, I finally finish painting my Skyhawk and eBay comes up trumps once more in my search for ancient Verlinden buildings…

In days gone by model kits could be bought from all manner of shops, not just those dedicated to the hobby. What joy then to find just such a shop in the wonderful Derbyshire Peak District…

Despite feeling as though I’d broken the back of my Skyhawk, why am I still surrounded by a mountain of tiny parts?!

After feeling as though I’ve been treading water with my armour, today felt like I was beginning to make some additional progress…

The end of the week sees me complete another project and muse over why exactly I build models…

With my attention forced away from modelling to a pressing need for a new boiler, today has been shall we say, challenging…

Why do simple jobs always create the most problems, after all, how hard can it be to paint a couple of exhausts?

A day of progress as the Centurion went from bland canvass, into something a little more lifelike…

Why do I alway forget how to paint military vehicle models, when building aircraft, is simply second-nature?!

When a hard-edge camouflage pattern comes calling, sometimes it’s easier to handpaint it, than reach for the airbrush…

With memories flooding back, is it time to build another collection of cut-price Tamiya dioramas?

A day to complete my 1/35 Centurion AX and take a look at Airfix’s superb, 1/72 Typhoon FGR.4.

More War Thunder madness as my Centurion AX transforms from a basic tank, into something a little more exotic…

Airfix release their latest starter kit package, the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4.

Memories of my early career, those endless resin kits and whether I would have the patience or indeed enthusiasm, to build so many today…

A very pleasing trip out to another model show for some inspiration, chit-chat and shopping…
