hi all. Ever since the days of my childhood at the Model Engineers exhibition I have been a long time admirer of the Amazing detailed models produced in garden sheds. I unfortunate don't have the skills required to produce the works of art on these pages but it does not stop me looking whistfully at the images. I have inherited a cool but unfinished 1:5 scale apprentice model of a Triumph Bonnerville, I am hoping to find an engineer who can help me complete the project.

Be nice to see a picture, we don't get many scratch built bikes.

Hello David,

None of us had the skills when we started out! Even just assisting with sorting out a model will get you learning some of the skills.
