The latest in progress in US manned space flight This kit looks nice and simply and it is until you get to the painting stage and it then gets really interesting. Airfix supply a set of acrylic paints and for the younger or inexperienced modeller who will buy this kit it will do the job, but if like...

Thank you “Keithley” for a great show. This is my view of a great day out. Tim somehow arranged an extra bit of space for our SIG so that all attending and wanting to show off the SIG,s building efforts to anyone attending the show was catered for. For my part I was given almost 3 whole tables which...

HMS Storm. One of our Submarines, As I finished the model of “Sterlet” the model of the S Class sub I had sent for turned up, so I had to continue building “unterwasserboots” and boy what a model it is. The 3D printing on it is something to behold. “Fantastic”. To get started I masked off the cuttin...

I've seen these British submarines advertised on the internet and was tempted to send for one so picked the U Class HMS Undine as the cheapest option. (Not that cheap though) What turned up is an absolutely go...

Airfix space shuttle. 01.JPG 01 From 1600 century sailing ship to 2000 century spaceship. Now I've never built a space shuttle kit before, strange as it seems, but I did buy the Airfix kit a long time ago and it's sat in my stash for years. Part of the reason for this was the thought of doing the sh...
