you have to be prepared to post it as you are limiting your market by saying collection only. 1st I would advertise it on here, give it a week then on e-bay as a job lot, reserve I would say of £75. with 6 lightweight teams as extras and 1 heavyweight it has to be worth a ton

stanley tools are black and yellow, ideal if the ground is scouse-esque as the scousers bought a fair few stanley tools

at last, i have scored in a charity shop. it was not rare or valuable but i reckon it was alright. Paul Lamond team edition set, all complete and it did not look used. brand new they are circa £30 i paid £2 thats 2 quid. Reckon i did alright and for 2 quid it would have been rude not to what do you ...

thats not a cat it is a massive prehistoric mammal. the thing is massive, it must be 90 feet long and 50 feet high. wouldnt like to come across that... well if the cat was to scale it would be that size

great model, as I have said before with modelmaking it is the vibe of the model that is the most important, a model should be telling you its life story by looking at it. the execution of the build doesnt need to be perfect. you have captured the feeling and vibe 150%. well done

looks alright to me, just turn laptop upside down

for a jig, get a piece of plywood or such like then use panel pins. make your 1st barrier (I would make the legs 20mm long to allow a wee bit to allow for "planting") using your 1st as a template and bend the wire using good quality pliers, simply tap in panel pins around the barrier. then what I wo...

yes I am as i love looking at others subbuteo stadiums and rekindling old memories. However i am a modelmaker of 25 years, working mainly with railways in 2mm, 4mm and 7mm scales thats n, oo and o guage. yep never could make my mind up lol done a lot of scratchbuilding in the past, also have a massi...

looks amazing but your crush barriers need some work, now you are working in 4mm to the foot and from memory leaning on leitch barriers at rugby park each barrier was approx 8' wide by 4' high so in 4mm that translates to 32mm by 16mm. my suggestion would be to use brass rod about 2mm diameter and s...

if the barriers are of the traditional leitch design then you are looking at either plastrut plastic angle and rod or using brass sections soldered together. make a jig and use a good soldering iron with plenty of flux. for the modern square section barriers i would go for plastrut square section gl...

nice, that main stand is well smart

we want more pics, as many as poss as it looks smart

is taht just 8mm ply cut into strips with a ripsaw and glued and pinned together??? looks great. mdf would do the same job... giving me ideas lol

easy to see why the corner terraces are almost empty... the view must be terrible. amazing model though

as a guy that builds model railways for a hobby I always build a frame using 2" by 1" softwood, glued and screwed together, i generally dont like 18mm mdf as it is too heavy usually go for 9 or 12mm. as mdf can warp a bit I find a frame built into 2 foot square sections does a good job, one of my la...
