Hi Zak,

Yes you could do 'The Invisible Man', but I couldn't see the point to that.

Live Long and Prosper....................

Hi Guys,

Checked it out with Bill.

The theme is 'FILM TITLE'

Brief explanation as per Bill, Can either be in the title itself ie:- Titanic, or can be a more looser association such as 'The Dambusters' where a model of a 617 Sqdn Lancaster would be in keeping with theme.

Any questions about individual interpretations to Bill please............

Bigkev :D

Hi Bridlufc,

Thanks for the offer, ideally I'd like something as near to 1:1 as you can. If you make it too small, my wife won't be happy, too big, I'll have to buy a new wardrobe!

Cheers

General Discussion / Re: Airbrush as recommended by Cyril
« on: August 15, 2011, 07:01:43 AM »
Yes,

Cyril is really an Octopus in disguise to use all those airbrushes he has, but his paint finishes are superb.

Me, I'm only a half Octopus or is that a 'Quarterpus'.

Glad you like it anyway, happy spraying.

Hi Geoff,

No problem mate, I can let you have what you need.

I know you state 1/72 but can you give me an indication of scale height. eg, 12" 16" 24" etc,
so I can dig out correct size?

Or tell me in mm how high you are looking for.

Hi Guys,

Bill has been in touch with me and I will be posting his 'theme' shortly. Just need to ask him a question about it before I post it.

Yep, its a right pain.

Scalpels at the ready?

Hi Bridlufc,

I fully understand your comments, and why you want to see this as 'your' must attend show.
You do not need to be apologetic at all. In fact somebody with so much enthusism is extremely valuable to the club, in fact priceless. Perhaps you would like to get more involved in this show, and the post show discussions, so that we can put a bigger show on in future, that you and other members can enjoy and be part of?

Hi bridlufc,

I fully understand your 'Bigging Up' idea for the club and I think in time we could do as good a job as others. However, lets not try to run before we can walk. This show is a toe in the water, this time, and I think that we will learn some lessons this time for future occassions.

There might be obstacles to overcome, things we had not properly considered, such as, timing, staffing, etc, etc.

These will be able to be discussed and worked out for our next attempt and perhaps we WILL be able to have invited clubs, traders to attend with us.

I know my hair is Silver Grey already and yours is too, but I am not ready for 'white' just yet!

But, I do appreciate your comments and enthusism for a show. Good on yer!

Help / Re: which superglue ?
« on: August 04, 2011, 06:44:51 AM »
Hi Driffowl,

Have you contacted Zak our resident Alchemist?

If anyone knows about chemical reactions and which type of superglue to use, it'll be him.

Why not 'stick it' to him.

Help / Any Idea Where these come from or are made by??
« on: August 02, 2011, 11:32:15 AM »
[/img]Hi All,

A request from Phil via me, to anybody who reads this, to help to identify the maker/brand of these Sea Vixens Phil came by whilst in the USA. Phil estimates them to being about 1/450th scale?

Any idea's how they came to be. So far we have a Cereal manufacturer promotion, specialist aftermarket products (to go with appropriate Aircraft carriers), DC comic adverts of about 1970's.

So far no definative explanation or identity, given but do you have an answer???

Hi All,
Yes, I would like to say it was a very pleasant day out with some great 'guys'. A lot of fun, banter, great models, and lots to buy, some more than others (not me luv, If my wife reads this).
It was nice to see that my previous demonstrations of how to lay the table coverings had been totally absorbed and after some minor corrections and gentle slapping of Cyril you got there in end.
It was also nice to see how well Cyrils training for the Olympics has come on. He did the trip to the coffee and Bacon Butty shop in record time!
Great Day, Guys.
