Digging out old modelling materials


Harlequin

I knew that somewhere here I had a box full of Plastikard and some bottles of "Mek-Pak". After searching in my loft and my back bedroom, and getting distracted by old forgotten model spaceships and some great treasures, I found it! (Never throw anything away!)

 

I have a selection of plain and embossed sheets, and bits of: an army tank kit, spaceship kits, wagon kits and signal kits. Also a selection of extrusions of different sections, some fencing and some valancing.

Some of the bottles still have something in them...

After a recent trawl through boxes in the attic I have found old card building kits from the 1970s, plumbers' hemp for thatch, balsa wood, dried up styrene glue and paints, files of cuttings from model railway magazines, but still not found my stash of plastikard. Suspect my DIY husband may have already used it for his many repairing jobs!!

My worry is scrap etch. Over the years I have made all sorts of things from the bits left over from etched brass kits. But what if I run out ? Really somebody out there should start selling etches of usefully sized scrap etch....
