This is the fun bit. Plenty of big, chunky parts, all of which go together really well. Everything was given a coat of Revell 9 the evening before, so it was all nice and dry befor...
Ahead of the show, the Garden Rail van needed a wheel fixing back on. The 3D printed parts are a bit brittle, and tiny joint between wheel and "axle" had snapped. Simply glueing t...

Slightly fiddlier big bits this time. A certain carpet-dwelling YouTuber would be delighted to find the buffer are sprung. But you do have to assemble them. Here, I found a little...
When I visit the Groudle Glen Railway, I always have to buy something from the shop. The problem is, I already own most of the branded souvenirs they sell. If you are lucky enough...
After letting the transfers dry, I wasn't happy. I'd reduced the silvering as much as I could, but there was still some. Also, between the big letters, you could see that the clea...

For our next build post, we’re going to craft Varis, the Half-Elf Swashbuckler I talked about for my Critical Role Campaign 2 post. The Swashbuckler class is another creation of so...
