You guys are going to cost me an arm, leg & marriage at this rate but it will all be worth it!!! And it was great meeting you all today and I will be free for the next meet

It's good fun though, , and we promise not to ask you to roll up your trouser leg, sacrifice your first born, or swear allegiance to anything at all.

OK people, I would like some advice please. Having got loads of foam board left over from my burning house, I am building a bijou 2 storey house. The walls are cut out, with windows and doors. What I would like your opinion on is: "Should I just build it as a shell, or would you like some basic internal finishing, possibly with a first floor?" If I left the roof and floor removable, it could be used for placement of figures inside.

I would suggest a tv and a microwave, but its the wrong era.

Empty and ruined would be good, I have plumbers smoke bombs that we could throw in there, they won't burn it down.

I'll have a think, and see what I can come up with.

Don't make it too realistic or you might end up with refugees moving in?

The ruined empty look will be fine Richard.

Daft question .....

I just purchase a Tamiya Tiger tank from ebay.
My question is .... how do you get the top off of the thing to get inside to change battery etc.
It certainly has me beat....

Really stupid question but I guess this is to be expected from a newby

If you twist the turret anticlockwise, whist lifting slightly, when you get it so the barrel is about 10 o'clock, the turret will lift off. You will then find 2 black screws which need to be undone. The top then lifts out from the front. It sort of hooks under the rear plate.. Incidentally, if it's the same version as mine, there are two batteries required. You will also find that the turret top should lift off on it own to give you access. Any problems, you can PM me if you wish.

Thanks Richard.... can you turn the turret manually, or does it need to be done electrically
Thanks
Kevin
