That looks ace - what scale is it ? Although I should be able to guess from the ruler! thanks for the earlier advice BTW - I'm looking for a wash to use they seem to only come in multi packs

Thanks Rich. It’s a 1:24 scale chassis off a London black cab.

Re the wash, if you’ve got a War Hammer shop near you they sell wash individually, as do Hannants model shop.

Latest project coming on slowly. It's even smaller than the 1:76 tanks so I'm developing tweezer skills.

Also bought a couple of affect things from 'Boyes' who carry a surprisingly good range of modelling stuff.

I've been experimenting on the last two models to see if I can gain some skill.

Latest build done.

This one is had some experimentation with a grime wash, I took an image of that but it's too blurry I'll add it tomorrow when I go in the workshop again.

I can't believe that we've got Crafts, Gardening, Computer Games, but not model cars, trains...!

Just don't call them toys!

My particular hobby was 1/10th scale radio controlled car racing. I'm now looking to get into radio controlled planes. We have some Airfix model builders in here and Lego builders too. Any type of model vehicles really! Planes, trains, automobiles... boats, helicopters, anything! Come join in! :-) G
