I've established a tradition on this blog in the last days of December of taking stock of everything that Himself and I have achieved ov...

Himself is cracking on with WHR saloon 2047 after I delivered it to him last week. Already it's been primed and he's begun applyin...

I've done as much as I can on 2047 and handed it over to Himself to finish off. That innocent phrase - finish off - involves a lot mo...

To borrow a phrase from Britney: Oops, I did it again! There's been another blunder, this time with the interior. (This carriage see...

So I've been getting on with the chassis of 2047 - and also getting it wrong (again)! The original WHR saloons built by Winsons were v...

I've hit a wall with the body of my new WHR carriage because I've run out of the right size of styrene strip for adding the beading ...

I got around to doing some actual modelling at last. The next task on the WHR saloon 2047 is to make the base layer of the doors and the e...

For the last post of 2017 I'll bring our modelling review of the year up to date. October Himself was steadily getting on with th...

I was left alone for an entire weekend (albeit in some charge of the youngest in the family) so I had an evening to fill. Sometimes when...

I can't remember the last time I had a midweek day off to myself, but my employer insists on a use-it-or-lose-it policy on annual leave ...

The first bit of work on our next WHR carriage - the latest 3rd class saloon 2047 - are the parts which I would usually leave until towards ...

I posted a couple of days ago about how I was going off to search through my file of drawings to look for something to use to make a model o...
