Revising more like 😜 I can't find the article now, but I think it was by Aiden Campbell, when he described colour scaling for model makers. Ah, here it be... guide to scale colour.pdf

Could this be down to "scale colour" or just poor colour matching? Me thinks the latter.

Only from very far away...

IRM/Accurascale already there 😜

Top tip, thanks 👍

On a lighter note...

Absolutely mate. I'm in the middle of a "health scare" ATM, just waiting for test results. I've been off work with a dodgy back too (this has been quite difficult as I didn't disclose my back condition to my new employer when I started, as I was supposed too but I was desperate to leave my last job with honour... or not get sacked for too much sickness) but this has given me the opportunity to get my toys out and get on with some stickin' & gluin' , so all good.

I agree, I'd like to support a stockist please.

I could be tempted by such a modern contraption, WR allocated of course.

I was about 12 or 13 at the time.

Tell a lie, it was £8:20 😜 and she's not looking too bad from this side.

This could explain the queue of people begging Roger Sawyer to flick liquid flux in their eyes over on the soldering demo stand.

Is the G6 tomorrow or is that later in the year? 😜

G6, YAY!

Of course 😜 but I suspect that'll be only available on the supermarionation xxxsfxxx versions 🤔

I'm sure I have seen it on the prototype* which was where my thinking came from. I don't think it actually was a pre-fab concrete store of this kind but a similar building on the prototype. It was my understanding that the gaps in the brickwork aided, not abated, airflow under the floor 🤷 If you look through Southern Nouveau, there are several of these stores, and similar, with solid (no air gaps) infill between the piers. *Possibly one of the trader's stores at Sidmouth? I will have to look through my library and find it.

I had a tough choice as a kid, the Modeller's Den in Baff had both the GMR 14XX AND the 61XX for £8 each! Of course my OCD caused me to use my decision making device (a coin) and the 61XX won the day. I later made amends and got an Airfix 14XX from Modelfair (what happened to them?). Of course as soon as I'd looked at it the wheels on the 61XX disintegrated into mush. I still have it but it's a lost cause now.

I would, mine needs re-wheeling, so cash allocated for the pair of G6's I'm after (😬🤔😜) could be transferred to the 14XX project for one.

Did that transfer to Wizard with the other MT kits and bits?

Thanks for all the suggestions and top tips guys, the idea is for a wall of these to go under the 4mm ratio provender store, either in between the building's legs or as a part of or a complete replacement for those supplied with the kit. Cheers, Dubs.

Interesting, thanks 👍

After scouring architectural model making pages, I've come to conclusion that what is needed is microstrip and diazepam 😬 (or etching).

I could be tempted by a new one of those little GWR thingies to replace the Airfix jobbie I have that needs re-wheeling 🤔

Fabulous resource,thank you for that. Now to find some, 'cos I ain't making it from scratch 🤣

Yes I keep forgetting a Yorkshireman is a Scotsman with all the generosity beaten out of him 😜
