Migrant's Wanderings: November 2013
http://migrantswanderings.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 15 November 2013. Question: If you had the resources, would you attempt one HUGE project? I enjoy looking at other peoples' super-projects though, like the Scale Model World showstopping Steam-Punk Bugatti. Superbly conceived and built by Stefano Marchetti. The humbling reality is that even if I had a decade. To spend on such a model, I'd never be able to achieve anything like this. (Photos by Darrell Thompson, used with permission).

Fill 'n Sand: Airbrushed prop blur discs.
http://fillnsand.blogspot.com/2011/06/prop-blur-discs.html
My kind of plastic fun. Saturday, 18 June 2011. Airbrushed prop blur discs. I like aircraft models in flight, and I like representing the spinning prop, like in the war comics I grew up reading. So here is how I make mine. I use a mask/template and then airbrush the blur on to a clear plastic disc. I tried freehand masking but the edges of the blur did not look sharp enough. So after buying a circle cutter I set out to make the mask/template. Blur section cut out. First blade blur done, and second started.

Fill 'n Sand: September 2012
http://fillnsand.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
My kind of plastic fun. Saturday, 29 September 2012. Fujimi 1/72 P-47 Thunderbolt - painting. Well I didn't leave the primer long enough to dry and had some scrape off, so I sanded it back and tried airbrushing it on. Gace it a good few days, then sprayed some white for the yellow, and invasion stripes, sprayed the yellow, and left for a couple of days. Masked up for the black today, and tonight sprayed the black and olive drab. Tuesday, 11 September 2012. Then had a play with some Vallejo primer. Well I...

Some excellent sources of reference material, modelling friendship and inspiration exist on the internet; these are a few of my favourites. Perhaps the most well-known of the scale modelling ‘webzines’, an excellent source of information. Reviews, reference info and a very active discussion board. The emphasis here is on good shots of Canadian aircraft but there are some USAF subjects too. If you like T-33s and CF-18s, stop by here. Check this site before you buy/build a kit!

Monday, 30 December 2013. My Top Five Scale Modelling 'Discoveries' of 2013. As the year draws to a close, I would like to share five items that have enriched my scale modelling experience during the past 12 months. A couple of them also double-up as 'Top Tips' for Christmas too! 1 Ranger's Glossy Accents. Sharing your workspace with other family members has its drawbacks but the opportunity to share each other's stuff isn't one of them. Scrapbookers and papercrafters use Ranger's Glossy Accents.

Migrant's Wanderings: June 2012
http://migrantswanderings.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 June 2012. Euro 2012 Part two. Work continues on the Revell 1/32 Eurofrighter. For a modern-tool kit released in the last 4 years it's a shockingly poor fit. The wing-root on top; it's even worse on the underside. The wing root trailing edge – not just a gap but a step as well. Lots of filling and sanding required to achieve a smooth tail transition. Besides the sloppy fit there are numerous sink marks all over the airframe, the slats and airbrake seem to be the worst affected:.

Fill 'n Sand: Hobby Boss - 1/72 Me 262 - decals and done.
http://fillnsand.blogspot.com/2012/05/hobby-boss-172-me-262-decals-and-done.html
My kind of plastic fun. Wednesday, 2 May 2012. Hobby Boss - 1/72 Me 262 - decals and done. Decals went on well, apart from the trailing edge walkways ones, which kept on folding up, and the fuselage stripe, whose edges shattered, so I replaced it with a Revell Me 262 one. Well what can I say. it's the first time I have built one of these easy assembly kits and I am a convert, what fun, crisp mouldings, go together well with a little fettling, and plenty of room to modify them, very enjoyable. I have been...
