Are you in need of inspiration? Are you looking for something different? Are you contemplating starting in a new scale or even a different type of modelling? This coming Saturday is the day you may get the answer.
The Wight Scale Model Club will be hosting its annual exhibition at St John's Church Hall in St John's Road in Sandown (Isle of Wight) from 10am till 3pm on Saturday 22nd of September. This is a multi scale event and it caters for all types of modelling: railways, planes, boats, figures, etc. If you have nothing planned, this is well worth attending. You will be able to look at models and ask lots of questions to experienced modellers.
Cleaning models is difficult: they are delicate, fragile and intricate. Whether they are made of plastic, resin or metal, if you rub them the paint will flake and if you don't the dust will build up over time, unless you store them in boxes all the time, which diminishes the enjoyment you can get out of them.
The solution is to use Cyber-Clean. Despite the strange name, it is worth looking at. It is a "substance" that will absorb dirt and dust, without the need to rub or wash your model. You can mould it to the shape required to reach tiny corners and it is safe on plastic, metal, wood and resin.
People and animals bring life to a layout. They add to the story you are trying to tell and as such are very important.
Woodland Scenics offers a large range of painted figures in OO/HO scale.
They are of good quality as you would expect from the American manufacturer and offer alternatives to the common Preiser and Noch figures. It means between the three brands you should be able to coaches with seated people without having to use the same figures twice. Here are some examples below. As usual click on any image to be taken to the full details. You can also click here if you want to see the full range.
Their range also include some very American centric items such as baseball players, cowboys or American football players. They will be perfectly at home on any HO layout or as a cameo on a British layout. Here are a few examples:
