    Chas's workbench

    Hello all, this workbench thread will cover my various modelling activites - mainly, but by no means exclusively GNR and LNER. Like a lot of people, I left the RTR railway and the mainly military Airfix kits of my youth and didn't return to modelling for about 30 years, by which time a renewed...

    Hello from Barnet

    Hello everyone, I joined a little while ago, after a fellow modeller kindly pointed me towards a thread on here about coach painting and lining that he thought I might find helpful for my current project and I found I needed to be a member in order to view the photos properly, which turned out...

    7mm On Heather's Workbench - North Eastern Workhorse

    My scattergun approach to my workbench means that, while I intend to pick commissions up on a "first come, first served" basis, sometimes I will pick up a box reasoning it might prove a relatively quick build and help the cash flow a little. This is why I tend to find several part-built...

    Hello, Finally got round to making a start on this a while ago and on some photos of Gresley coaches there is a horizontal pipe that runs along the solebar. Would that apply to this coach running in the BR period up to withdrawal? Alan

    Genghis's 7mm Workbench

    My next 7mm build will be the Gladiator Scottish Director. I have just started by cutting out the cab glazing - much easier to do when the etches are still on the fret, but a job I usually forget to do - and have fitted crankpins and blackened the wheels. No pictures of these, but in true Blue...
