    Out of action for a while

    Thanks everybody for your good wishes and support. I've been in rehab for the last few weeks learning to walk again (and learning quite a few other things too). But I finally escape to home tomorrow, Friday 2nd Sept, where the healing process should be able to complete in its own sweet time...

    Out of action for a while

    The surgery was successful but an infection has complicated the recovery. I'm still in hospital but reasonably comfortable (wow do they have some great drugs for painkillers these days). It will be quite a few months before I get out of rehab (for my back, not the drugs! I have to learn how...

    Out of action for a while

    I've got to go into hospital for some major back surgery later this week and I'll be out of action for a while :(. So apologies if anyone wonders why I'm not posting replies over the next few weeks.

    Scaling Zioprudenzio Aircraft Card Models

    Apologies if anyone only got half of this post earlier - I accidentally posted it half way through and had to edit the rest in :hammerhead:.

    Scaling Zioprudenzio Aircraft Card Models

    The Problem This little waffle is to share some thoughts and solutions on printing and scaling pixel-based card models. It is aimed at all levels of expertise so bear with me if most of this is not new to some of you (there's some discussion in an old thread here). But as we all had to start...

    'Young Technician' magazine - Assorted Russian Models

    Erm. Oops. It might help if I'd remembered to put the link in the original post :hammerhead:: Young Technician Magazine As with any Russian site, and especially in the current global circumstances, stick to the magazine pages and links. Close any pop-ups and unrelated pages and ignore...

    'Young Technician' magazine - Assorted Russian Models

    Trawling through my archives I came across some models I had downloaded from a Russian site back in 2008. One of the models is mentioned in a 2011 forum post here. The site appears to have been archived and is still active. I think it's worth revisiting if anyone hasn't already come across it...

    Resource AVIA B534

    I have a somewhat different set of files for this freebie that might throw some light on its provenance. My file set includes some documents which, with a bit of translation (Czech) revealed that it was part of a competition by a magazine called ABC back in 2004. The basic model and interior...

    UGEARS locomotive

    Oh lovely pictures! :) Really show off how intricate and well fitting these kits are. Can't wait to get stuck into my next two - the Hexapod and Drift Cobra. Just got to complete the Butterfly for my wife first. Which, naturally, comes after the household chores ;). The Butterfly is also...

    UGEARS locomotive

    If you mean does anyone else not see the picture, then yes. All I get are placeholder icons and the file name. I'm using Chrome in Windows 10. Strangely the nodding cat clip comes up okay. But I assume that may be a GIF clip. Under it is a link to the clip, but note that it has ".jpg"...

    UGEARS locomotive

    I got the same feelings when I first came across this type of model earlier this year. Some friends had bought me an EWA (Eco Wood Art) Kinetic Globe kit for Christmas 2020 which I didn't have time to do anything with back then. I was building the Lego Technics Bucket Wheel Excavator at the...
