I wouldn't describe myself as a particularly good modeller, Rather than striving to get picture perfect detail and dimensions I prefer a more relaxed approach. As a result I think some of my models have a slightly 'cartoonish' look about them, which I like. I model mainly in 7mm scale.
Now, I wouldn't say that I am a tightwad, but I do like to save a penny or two here and there. I'm not really a buy it and plonk it down on the layout type of guy, in fact the real pleasure I get from railway modelling is fiddling around for hours with bits of card and glue, creating something from next to nothing.
My modelling ethic is to use recycled or very low cost materials: card from tissue and cereal boxes, plastic from containers etc. Of course, some stuff you just have to buy, but a bit of amateur sleuthing on the interwebs often gets you the best prices.
So, contained in this blog are some of my modelling techniques and money saving ideas.
Read on dear viewer.
