Model making

I’ve always liked making things my parents would agree, I loved making a mess. This has not changed. I have so many hobbies and interests I am never bored. I don’t believe in boredom.

My husband paints 28mm wargaming soldiers, his favourite are Perry Miniatures, Mark Copplestone, Steve Salah, Foundry and more recently he has started to paint Claymore miniatures and Front Rank. He has odd figures from different places but these are his favourites. I did try and join him with painting, but I’m no good at it and mine are so badly painted they look like they have eyelashes on

.

Painted by myself

However, I do love building model buildings and painting them up. I’m not saying I’m brilliant at it, but I enjoy it. I have been lucky to have been commissioned to make buildings.

I started off making scratchbyit boats and ships from balsa wood, unfortunately I made these when photos had to be developed and took a few weeks to come back, so have no photos.

Gradually I started to build more and more buildings, and sold some on ebay and others were sold direct to whomever had ordered them. One of my buildings went to America and even after over 10 years the gentleman still has it

I am currently working on two buildings that came off a sprue and I assembled, one is Perry Miniatures medieval building and the other I confess I can’t remember where Dan brought it from. I haven’t finished them yet but pleased with them so far.
