The aim of this site is to encourage many forms of modelling but mainly at the amateur end of things. If you are a professional modeler I don't think I can offer you anything here.

More Food
Sometimes real food is just easier but scale can be a problem, eg this is rice but looks more like an asian dessert called toddy palm.
Landing Craft Update
Jan 2023
Now let me get this straight Lieutenant. They expect you to leave the safety of a troop ship to climb down a flimsy rope ladder, into this tiny wooden boat, get tossed around the ocean, throwing up your breakfast and then save the world? No ma'am, this is your boat.

Purchased items through Cotswold Collectables
More recently, this has been my goto for WWII accessories for my dioramas. Not cheap mainly due to overeseas shipping costs with DHL, but the quality of most of the products is stunning. I make my own uniforms and yet I cant make them for the relatively low prices they charge especially if I take into consideration the time it takes me to make one outfit.

This website contains a collection of projects that I have been working on over the last few years. It contains most of my ideas, plans and drawings. It's all for fun and to encourage modelling and crafting.
I have taught pliable materials (fabric design and sewing) but only at junior level. I still have much to learn in that area. I have taught hard materials and electronics at senior levels but only for a short time. I'm sure you have heard the phrase 'Jack of all trades, master of none'.
As far as I'm concerned you can copy all content except the storyline which is an adventure story set in ww2 parts of which are not entirely my own anyway. If you use it in its current or in a modified form I just ask to be included in your list of credits or acknowledgements. I'll try to indicate where I have used other contributors. Jeep Hardwood model based on an idea by Brett Howard. Website design by Hamish Hall-Smith.
