Wishing I'd never done that research on brick bonds... drawing up even a basic brick hut and having to get the bond and layout just right...
-
That wonderful feeling when a box of kits you've waited a month for arrives... and they're the wrong kits in the box! Sending them back, try again.
-
My resolve was weak... I have just ordered a Hattons Barclay!
-
Well that was a productive sleepless evening - one wagon kit built, painted and finished, one fully built, and a third about half done!
-
Got some lovely Gibson trailing wheels on a 2mm axle for my D1, but the bushings in the chassis kit (already fitted) are for 1/8" axles, and nobody else seems to do 18mm non-driving wheels.
-
Lovely parcel of kits and castings just arrived from 5&9 models. Very impressed with the service and the parts look nice too!
-
Been commissioned to paint a lovely 5" gauge NER E class 0-6-0T. Now if only I could work out what colours to paint it!
-
Had the email that my Hornby H class is in the post. Excitement!
-
Just received my first package from Narrow Planet. Very impressed at the quality and the service!
-
Is pondering a repaint of a Bachmann E4 into Improved Engine Green...
-
When you buy a model online and it arrives, only to find it is older than you are! The box had a sticker "Made in the DDR", which ceased to exist a year before I was born...
-
Sometimes it just takes a chat with a fellow enthusiast to bring the modelling mojo back!
-
Those new Bachmann birdcage coaches in SE&CR livery look rather gorgeous, but £195 RRP for a set of three! Guess I'd better start saving now!

You are right they are very very nice!! I am getting the H Class from my local model shop for that price! But even with the discounts he would be able to give me I can't justify it Perhaps I will get some second hand in the future. Until then, I have managed SECR loco lining before so the coaches should be easy!!
-
Thanks, but before you get to envious why don't you judge for yourself. After all just because I'm happy with it doesn't mean someone else would be. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/107470-oak-hill-lbscr-secr-1905ish/page-38#entry2767340

Building my second kit from Petite Properties, and delighted so far!
-
$!*&! Messed up applying LSWR lettering from the HMRS pressfix sheet... and there's only one set of each size of lettering per sheet... Another £7.50 to get another sheet of mostly Southern lettering I won't use!
-
Where on Earth do pre-grouping modellers get transfers from? I am looking for LSWR, SECR and LBSCR loco lining and lettering in 4mm and can't find anything...

I am similarly fustrated. Did chat to HMRS about LBSC and they do have something in the pipeline - so worth feedback to them what you are after ... but probably a year away. However do look at EBM models at http://www.mjwsjw.co.uk/
-
Things nobody tells you as a young person modelling pre-grouping: Platforms without white edges look weird!
-
Apparently has a Peckett waiting under the tree...
-
That wonderful moment when you realise that yes, the three wagon kits you bought come with transfers, but they're all Pressfix...
-
Messing about with a laser cutter at the local Hackerspace and evaluating it for producing wagon bodies...
