Tip of the Week

Why bother buying the expensive sprue cutters when you can just use copper wire cutters? They're cheaper, easier to find, and they work just the same! Just ask for them at your local hardware store.

Tip of the Week

Make dioramas for armour models. It really makes your model stand out in the crowd, just like my new Pak 40! They take a bit of time and work so don't get discouraged, because it'll all be worth it in the end!

We are Undergoing Changes...

Well, the title says it all, we're undergoing major changes. First of all, I'm getting rid of the theme of the month sections because, well, I can't be bothered to think up a tip that goes along with the theme. It's actually hard work to operate a website in your spare time. I'll continue to put out tips every Sunday (or asap) and reviews at the end of most months. I hope you'll understand. I'm also excited about some future reviews, because I just got a Tamiya 1/35 Tiger I (YES!!) and also I made a Pak 40 Diorama (look for pictures in the near future).

Yes we're still going strong!!

An Officer's Story: Airfix British 8th Army Review; Pt.3

The next thing that I did was paint on the accessories, such as the pistol, the pouches, the hat, etc. For the hat I painted it a light tan on the top, a dark tan on the front, the brim black, and I added a little gold insignia. I painted the pouches a dark tan and the pistol grey. At that I had finished the officer.

The next thing that I did was paint the flesh. I painted the flesh first because then I wouldn't have to paint around the uniform. I painted the face and the arms and legs with little paint so that a fair amount of detail could be seen. I then painted all of the uniform and hat a light tan. I painted over all of the other parts because I would paint over them.
