A trial pack of mixed sheets of Model Scenery's new plastic building stuff for roofs, walls, etc. You mat have seen an article recentl on this stuff, it looks promising.


Nothing to do with the two good lookers on the stand then Jim  :wub:

Chris - who wonders if he could sponsor a prize next year for the best looking female on a trade stand ?  ;D
I am suitably shocked that you would think that tight jeans and a tight t-shirt on a perfect female body could possibly sway my judgment.
You should damn well know it would!!!!!!! :wacko:

Anyway here is a photo of the contents of the pack, no stone or brick textured samples though, pity.

That IS rather promising, I can see all sorts of ideas in that.  Quite a handy set of stuff you have there.

It's going to be painted red and be part of the North Pole ELF Defence force , that will teach them  ;D  ;D  ;D
Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

Esci 1/48th Mirage IIIE, decals look like they're goosed by being stored somewhere cold/damp but it probably wouldn't have been done in the kit markings anyway.

Must be getting winter. With my interest in fantasy films, books and figures returning... Strange. In winter time, I find myself especially interested in fantasy and WW II stuff.  Other people also into "seasonal" modelling?

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
