View Article  New Stuff! Wire & Thread.
We've added a small new section to the Scratch Builders Paradise section: "Wire and Thread".

This is a collection of Lead Wire 0.2mm to 1.0mm thickness, copper wire (0.3mm and 0.5mm) and rigging thread (0.2mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm and 1.2mm).



There's also some extremely realistic stainless steel Towing Cable in thicknesses of 0.6 to 1.2mm.


and lets not forget the Rigging Thread in 4 thicknesses!



Put together you should be able to find  one way or another of using these for all your needs for rope, hawser, towing cables and the like. Remember that the Rigging Thread makes for superb rope at many scales due to the way it is wound, and by colouring it with a thinned metallic paint you end up with excellent and very cheap "steel able".

Lead and Copper wire are the easiest way to add lots of detail parts, inside engine or outside of sci-fi buildings, fantastical pulp engines and anything else you can think of!

We will soon be adding a tutorial on making various "cables" from the historical through to 41st century, keep an eye out here for further announcements.

View Article  Famo 88
Well I finally finished my "FAMO 88" for my Flames of War forces - heres a couple of pictures with some more in the gallery:





This was a very rare vehicle with only about 16 ever built... some right at the start of the war and then an order for around 25-50 in late 1943 which resulted in about 12 being made and delivered in 1944... what happened to them is not recorded.

It makes a nice alternative to the static 88 gun, we are simply using as a normal 88 though.
