Will Crash 26 Jul 2:48pm, 26 Jul 2024 1,193 posts	0 Will Crash 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.
richmac 26 Jul 2:50pm, 26 Jul 2024 28,668 posts	0 richmac ^ cheers we have a place that carries Warhammer & I was looking in there the other day but in the wrong section!
Will Crash 26 Jul 3:37pm, 26 Jul 2024 1,194 posts	0 Will Crash I ask the chaps on the counter in our local shop. They’re very helpful to be fair
richmac 4 Aug 9:05pm, 4 Aug 2024 28,793 posts	0 richmac 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.

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! :-)
