Probably. I used to spend quite a lot of time searching for metal soldiers and artillery etc until I found the local one but as I said before it shut down :(

 
Only 4 hours on a train from London, make a day trip of it's lads!

 
I'm happy with my £2 return to Edinburgh and hour train to Glasgow. You'd pay that for a can of coke at the petrol station never mind Petrol!

Dayum thats cheap. It costs me £11 for a return into London :angry:

 
I discovered a small model shop 5 mins away from me :)

I now have some trees, 2 shades of flocking and some paints. I bought a picture frame to use as a base for a diorama and some air setting modelling clay to build the ground. I have started building a scene with a small river through the middle and a muddy track fording the river. I shall try doing the river with Yacht varnish.

 
I'm looking in wells for model shop as mum works there. Can find loooaaaddddssss of Lego and a few months ago would have loved it but can't find any diorama stuff, so it looks like I'll be unleashing my mouse onto the internet soon.

 
After a talk with my mum, we've decided that I can convert half of our 40/50 (been around hella long time, my grandad built it) or a quarter of our old shed into a small diorama workshop!!! I can no longer use my desk so much as studying for GCSE's and don't want glue etc all over my school books lol. Anyway, pics to follow, we're doing small bits up until an inset day were its just me and my mum at home (brother'll be out with friends most likely) and hopefully with a bit of luck and an early start I'll have a sort of workshop! :D

One niggly worry though is that this may make airsoft even harder to persuade. (Sorry for bad grammer, had a whole day of German and maths tests D:) But Airsoft, diorama and school are the Main list of things I need to do. As for Airsoft, I hope to be able to go during Christmas holidays or a weekend or so earlier if I have done well in my tests (B or higher which I hope I've got as predicted grade A :D ) and my brother gets fifa 15 (which is a definate lol) . So, wish me luck lol.

 
Bit the bullet and starting making that diabolical Airfix WW1 set because someone stepped on the box whilst I was out. My god its worse than I first though, even the tanks are badly done making them hard to glue together. The infantry, well I can't even consider looking at them all, I attempted the emplacements but they're proving nigh on impossible to figure out and assemble as none of the peg arrangements fit any of the holes in the bases (not that the pegs are long enough or the holes are wide enough)

 
Just done be sucked into buying GW tools :P there overpriced and not always what there cracked up to be.
