Be careful with lead - aside from it being nasty stuff and also causing problems if you want to re-sell the model it will expand and react with some glues and the like. Some of the other weights are a bit safer.

If you've got the space then 3D print and weights works ok. If you've not got the space then 3D printing in metal is an option but not a cheap one. Also an option is to 3D print a master and use it to make white metal castings.

Great photography, wish I could say the same about the music

I think Richard Hawley is in some ways a modernised version of the great man.


Filmed in my former County of Cornwall too.

I've got that Mark Knopfler-Harris album. One of my favourites!
