Hi Folks, This is my first time posting in this section and I would like some advice. I'm thinking of doing a diorama of a Severn class RNLI life boat with an accompanying Air See Rescue Helicopter, So I was at Telford over the weekend and bought the EH101 and wondered if anyone knew of any conversion kits for this kit, indeed do I actually need one ? Many thanks Del

Hi all does anyone know if RJS Decals still exists? I'm trying to get the Airbus 380 Corroguard decal sheet (RJS Decals | No. RJS4403 | 1:144) but none of my searches shows a valid link. Thanks Delanie

Hi Folks, I aquired the Revell 144 A380 kit recently and as I've not built an airliner since 1974 I was was wondering if you good folks could offer any advice. On the surface it seems a relatively easy construction however, I've been caught like that before. What if any are the pitfalls with airliner construction that I would have to watch for? The most obvious problem i can see is:- How do i treat the cabin windows? The decal sheet seems to have both frames and frames with dark centres, is it better to use PVA or some such to fill the windows or c

That's interesting I think the last time I built a diorama with this set was when I was at school in the 70's. I do remember being really satified with the build. Having seen some of the relaunches of kits over the years of, if not beloved, but well remembered projects from when I was younger and seeing some of the 'franken kit' changes they made over the years , notably having recently found my 'stached' version of the Angel interceptor, when they converted kits to 'snap' or 'quick' builds, I wondered if they had scaled it down somehow. On a slightly different note I d

Hi guys, I've just seen a review of the recent release of the bloodhound on you tube and having built this kit several times as I was growing up I seem to remember that it was in 1/72 scale however the video shows that it is 1/76 has anyone built this or can remember which is correct? This just intrigued me any ideas?

That looks really good Colin even though the base is small it gets the effect well.

The images above are of the incomplete model it's a resin kit and every coat of paint seems to show more imperfections. Added to that I'm having problems with the black wing edging paint bleading under the masking tape

Having recently bought the 1/72 blurred floor / land and the sky and background base my feeling is as you have said, they add another dynamic to the display. The base however, depends on the kit in question and the effect you wish to achieve. In my case I found that the craft I wish to display did not look quite right 'flying' over the ground but I think that is because of the type of aircraft and it's camoflage or in this case lack of it. A craft something like perhaps a Typhoon (modern or WW2), a F4 Phantom 2 in ground attack camo' would probably work better. I a

hi folks thanks for the input i've ordered one of the blured bases and the sky base and background. I'm kind of thinking of angling the jet in a 30 degree bank with a nose up attitude to show its lines. which means im thinking a viewing angle not perpendicular to the display base.which gives the angle between the base and background of about 135 degrees ish maybe i'm overthinking this I'll see when they arrive (btw a clue to the plane i want to display is in the first line)

Hi folks I have a hankering to build a fast jet rocketing over the country side but I want to put a small angle of pitch and bank on it. Now I was wondering if any of you folks think it might look better if i had some sort of background as well ? I'm thinking perhaps maybe sky , so I guess my question is if i use the motion blur base would the sky be blured too or would this not show due to paralax?

Hi folks just thought you might be interested in my new project which I picked up at the IPMS scale model world show on Saturday

So the spikes on the ussard collectors were real

Hi folks, has anyone built the SNW enterprise, what I was wondering was , do the Busard ram scoop domes have a spike coming from them? I seem to remember that there are some shots from the original series with a spike and if you watch the intro to SNW there is a shot where a spike seems to 'grow' from the dome. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm trying to fly an F18c in DCS and the level of detail in the controls and switches is truly impressive having just spent a lot on thrustmaster hotas and pedals and had to buy a new monitor not because of the game , the one my friend gave me so i could work comfortably from home during lock down kept blanking recently even with my dodgy work laptop, i'm sticking with the free facial recognition software but i'd love to be able to build a full cockpit with all of the switches etc
