Wings of War

This is one of the 1:144 Horten Ho 229 models that have been expertly painted by Erik for his Flames of War game.

I can recommend you check out his Photobucket page for more photos of other aircraft and his army as it's painted and assembled. http://s330.photobucket.com/user/waering/media/Flames%20of%20War/Mid-War%20Germans/724666D1-9A6C-42BD-8469-873A21DBD438_zpshjchusfq.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

I, Morbius

I, Morbius

Mentioned in an earlier post was the project by blogger Danny from his Hand Of Junk blog where using the Police Box model and some figures from Black Cat Bases and Battleforge to make a diorama of Doctor Who and the evil Timelord Morbius!

"I, Morbius, who once led the High Council of the Time Lords, reduced to this - to the condition where I envy a vegetable."

It's from one of my favourite Classic Who serials The Brain of Morbius. I recommend getting the DVD and it's a must watch before watching the excellent Night of the Doctor!

See the diorama come together with this great blog post here -

Nissen Hut

David has sent me some photos of a HO/OO Gauge Nissen Hut he's painted for his model train layout.

Also, Doctor Who will be making an appearance on the layout with one of the HO/OO gauge Police Boxes I make and you can see in the picture below, that Harry Potter and Ron (in that funky blue car) will be making an appearance too!

Doctor Behind Glass

The Doctor also pops up in this rather lovely looking scene from Stefan. He's placed the TARDIS into a rather peaceful scene as an ornament, and also painted up some of the other larger scale Police Boxes. 

You can see some of Stefans work in progress pictures and a Tenth Doctor figure below.

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to the first post of 2014! This blog is a catch up of some fantastic work people have been doing mixed with a little news of upcoming events.

A Christmassy Who

This is a photo of an excellent Christmassy Bauble present made by a gifted lady using a HO/OO scale Police box with a big helping of some artistic talent and skill. I'm also happy to say that the Whovian who received this gift was delighted with it :)

Keeping with Doctor Who, this is a picture of an expertly painted Doctor and K-9 standing outside a half materialised TARDIS. Great Stuff!

Yeoman Models and the First Crusade!

The Penarth Crusade model show is happening on Saturday the 25th January and Grekwood miniatures will be there selling some of my items! Very exciting! If you can, get along to the show - go! It'll be great!

To the slotties! 

This combination HO train track and slot car road is new to me but here it is all the way from New York. It's made by Scott and is awaiting some HO miniatures to place on the layout.

Roger is bringing a little bit of Victorian London to the USA in his Sherlock Holmes diorama. He's putting together and painting some 28mm Victorian items for his layout on top, and there is a Primeval layout underneath!

And also another UK character is being honoured in this tableau! If you look on the right you can see The Doctor by a Police Box. Lots of people awaiting a lick of paint as you can see but it'll look terrific once finished I'm sure!
