I am the Dorset Area Group Organiser for the 3mm Society. The reason for choosing 3mm is that I can do some real modelling without the distraction of Ready to run models. At present I have a 3mm layout, Hennock, which has been exhibited several times. It is also booked for several shows in the future. Currently I am building another 3mm Layout-Teignford. Please mail me if you have a similar interest,query or wish to convert to 3mm.

Kitmaster Mk1 coaches.
Well the paint has dried, transfers applied and all has been sealed with a coat of Matt varnish. Matt really does mask a few imperfections and is my favourite 'cheat'.
The widows are a separate fitment and thinking I was being clever I undercoated the top frames before applying the colour-mistake!
The primer leached from wher I wanted it so that the colour, which didn't simarlarly leach left some of the primer exposed.
A bit of cleaning up with a sharp scalpal blade helped but is not perfect.
The windows were stuck in place with MEK and hopefully are there to stay. Just an interior to fashion and the roof and buffers to stick on . Then couplings need to be made and fitted-then these two are redy to join the fleet for Teignford.
