In this project, we have gone big with the Apollo Saturn V Rocket – the space vehicle that transported the first man to the Moon! The real thing was 110m high. We worked on a 1:144 model, which has an impressive height of 77.5cm.

During the first lockdown, we had this insane idea of creating a clay model of Totoro (from My Neighbour Totoro). A little into the build we ran out of clay. At the time all the shops were still shut so we had to wrap it up and left it in the cupboard. Last week, with renewed enthusiasm from our recent model builds, we dug it back out to finish it off. Oh, but did it dry out after all this time? Would we have to throw it away? What a shame…nope, it was perfectly fine! So we did our best to ignore our family who stared suspiciously as we tackled this brown blob (we used terracotta clay to start off with). We are happy to report that it is now finished and no longer looks like a brown blob. Meet, our neighbour, Totoro.
Building on our new found passion for the Classical Period, we have added some Gallic chariots to our collection.
Team member 1 has finally got his act together and painted some figures for Dundee Library Wargames Club. In his defence, the club is on an extended break due to…er…current events. Library Club, if you want any more models painted you know where we are. You might not get them back until 2030, but when you do, you know they will be nicely painted!
Working our way through the “started-but-probably-never-going-to-be-finished stash”, we have finally completed our Carthaginian War Elephants!

So…Christmas was a little different from what we expected. With tons of spare time and nowhere to go, we ended up racing through this model in just one week!
We started this project towards the end of 2018. And yes, it has taken us over a year to finish!
“Well, what took you so long?” we hear an intrigued reader asks. We’re not sure either, but you see Rome wasn’t built in a day.
“Of course not! But you’re not building Rome, are you?” You must be the smartest person we’ve spoken with today because, yes, we have been building Rome!
In the search for a quick and simple project, we set our sights on EM-4 Miniatures’ Universal Spacecraft.
2) For our project, we split the spaceships into six groups. Each group was painted with its own colour scheme.
3) Once painted, the models were vanished with a layer of dark wash to enhance the details of the ships.
Taking a welcome break from painting millions of minute Roman figures, we are building a Spitfire!
