Sadly, and despite much provocation, no. Lovely wee Lewis drum. I do wonder though how one manages to get 14.4 degrees from a protractor, and then keep adding them up evenly. It must be voodoo.

KingTiger435 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 all this scratchbuilding work by everyone is beautiful, I must ask, where does one find plasti-card? I've been contemplating scratchbuilding more as I enjoy it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Gidday @KingTiger435, I think most model shops would stock it. In the stores in my part of the world the packs are usually on a rotating stand, similar to those that display postcards. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Animal Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 @KingTiger435, you can also search on that online auction site for High Impact Styrene sheet and get pieces at A4 size and over for very little money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Gidday, you don't half waffle on a bit, but I guess the picture says it all. That's superb detail you've got here. Maybe the kit's not so bad after all. 🙂 Those huge matches must be great for fire-lighting. 😁 Regards, Jeff. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Yes, you do realise those are giant novelty matches, about the size of a cricket bat. I have a whole box of them. Of course, the matchbox is the size of a steamer trunk. Best Regards, Jason Edited July 16, 2022 by Learstang 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackroadkill Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Yeah, the grain effect's not bad but the head needs a bit more work, I'd say. Let's not forget that pre-1987 the phosphorous content of matches was higher than it is now, so really your work should reflect this if you want a 100% accurate result. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Slowbuild Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I think I must be hallucinating, all that detail in something smaller than a match. Must be the UK heatwave…. Time for a lie down! Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 If I've already mentioned it, I'd like to mention it again. The Mach Poo Valiant. Terrible kit. Took me 4 years (more off than on) to knock one into shape 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 There was a company set up after WW2, employed disabled ex-servicemen to make wooden railway toys (we have one, our granddaughter loves it). Anyway, the company was called Escor Models. Got some interesting hits when I Googled it! 😜 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
