I am in Connecticut, USA at the moment - until Saturday. I have some requests from shop customers for Polyscale and Modelmaster paints so tomorrow we are touring a few shops. I have been to War and Pieces in West Hartford - nice guys - and to Time Machine in Manchester - they have great stocks - but no luck so far. I also wanted to get hold of some Roll Model punches whilst Iwas over here but they were out of stock :-(.
I am off to the Green Mountain Railrod in Vermont today - they have some vintage diesel engines running plus some old railroad buildings so that should be fun.
I make a range of models from 1/12th scale cars down to 144th scale aircraft. I also paint a range of figurines from 54mm up to 1/10th scale busts. Don't expect too much super detailing - I am pretty much an out of the box modeller.

OK so this is my first attempt at blogging. As mentioned in my profile, I am an active modeller. Over the last five years I have probably averaged a completion rate of around 2/3 models per year. I am now actively trying to improve this so have made a simple decision. I will take a newly completed model to both of the clubs I attend - each month. To achieve this, I have to limit each model to an OOB relatively uncomplicated topic. Typical projects of late have included a 1/144th Dragon Karl Morser, a 1/72nd Hasegawa Karl Morser, a pair of Armourfast 1/72nd Bastogne whitewashed Shermans. I am currently working on 1/144th Sweet RAF ASR Sea King.
However, as I have been in the USA all this week and the Ipswich Club meets next Tuesday I might not get it finished in time.
