Re: Basic hobby set up?

Hi Steve, no offence taken, honestly I'm a founder member of one online forum and member of others and completely understand the frustration of members not responding to on their own threads.

Re: Basic hobby set up?

OK, had to be away for a few days and it looks like I have not explained myself well. Right as has been mentioned I'm possably a bit of a one off. I'm a full time parent with children at school.

Re: Basic hobby set up?

Thank you all for your input, I'm in a bit of an odd position because I don't have any intention of making profit from it if I'm honest I just don't have a "business head" so really I want to spend as little as possible. My current thinking is a mount cutter first, that will let me do thin...

I’m also re...

Framing Corgi models

We had a 1:72 scale halifax bomber come in for framing the other day, not one of the airfix plastic kits but a Corgi diecast job. It's the first time I have even thought about a project like this, I haven't had a chance to measure it up yet but I know the wingspan must be something like 400mm and it...

Hello

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to framing having taken a part time job at a local gallery.

I have spent a lot of time lurking around the forum and admiring everybody's work, looks like I have much more to learn than I realised.

Many thanks

Shaun
