to keep you busy all winter. OK, they are made out of paper but I've done a couple and they look rather good because they are so tiny when complete. (I guess you could scale them up, though)

Gonna have a go at the Terrier now... _________________ Life is like a box of chocolates, so scoff it all while you can... Any more trouble from you, and it's a short sharp visit from the smack fairy!
It takes me back to the middle 60's when an Airfix kit cost 2/- (10p) and a Micromodel was 2/11d (14p) but the Micromodel took longer and was more satisfying than a glue together plastic kit.
The thrill of making a good paper model has never left me. (How sad is that? )
BTW, use the heaviest paper you can get hold of to print them onto (but not card stock, unless it's very light) and go easy on the glue! _________________ OK, so now what do I do?
I've started building my little 1:160 Terrier - anyone else had a go?
It is there somewhere!
Try this one..
Still can't see it? (It is a very tiny loco! ) I'm not getting closer until I finish it!
Just got to put the buffers etc. on, touch up the white card marks, paint the dome and I might re-work the chimney.. we'll see. _________________ OK, so now what do I do?
Looks good, I'd build one but the cats would eat it and make my hardwork go to waste. very good though. (now for the motor and wheels) _________________ Please visit
