  1. I have at least five types of filler on the go, tip-ex for very small gaps, vallejo for shoulder joints on figures (for example) which I just wipe off with a fingertip, plastiscene for very large gaps (and then fill the final layer with something harder), superglue of various grades and finally the all time favourite milliput, used it for twenty years and it just does what it says on the tin!
  2. I bought one of these, did you get a lid for the cup with yours?
  3. Wonderful diorama, can just keep looking at it.
  4. Superb rant, couldn't do better my self. Have you heard of the Film and Television Modelling Club?
  5. There are stil a few studio modelmakers out there who would be delighted to take part in a new series. Hopefully there will be zero CGI and 100% action. Just my opinion.
  6. Its in the same stash as the Jupiter II and Forbidden Planet Saucer, space in my house is very much limited, but I just had to have them and each was at a knock down price..............damn that Modelzone Web site.
  7. Yes I do like Don, had an airfix version in 1/72nd (way back in the day) so it was good to see this in a bigger scale.
  8. The BBC TRIPODS unfinished series has fascinated me for quite some time, has always been a favourite of mine even after this length of time. I had decided to stop waiting for a kit to turn up and ventured on my own build. I needed to make some drawings so took a tracing (using good old fashioned grease proof paper!) from the DVD episode featuring an early CGI image and built an armature. I had decided to attempt the sculpt so that multiple castings could be taken off it if a planned diorama arose.
  9. None that are any good, It went to a model show on the back of a trailer and got ever so slightly crushed, now on the list of "repairs when I get round to it" which when you look at my stash could be quite some time.
  10. Super reply. Many many thanks for taking the time to compose it, I have just posted my build up after being inspired by yours. Did you realise that the sheet of instructions that go with the large scale flying sub have a handy guide to interior colours and these can be cut out and used to decorate the inside of the 1/128 flying sub without that much alteration!
  11. the rear end, I replaced the running lamps with clear LED and sanded them down, polished and coated with Klear.
  12. Yes you are right, a great deal is hidden once its all glued up tight. I know guys who have done full interiors with 100% hidden! The joy of doing it is in knowing that its there, it doesn't have to make sense
  13. i have the very same problem with my original series enterprise, i suppose I need to go the brass rod way with loads of araldite, you had a try yet?
