You could build them up in a diorama and then have a building fire scene with real flames

There's a German HO prototype for this: Brennendes Finanzamt (burning tax office).

Reminds me of when we used to blow up Airfix kits with bangers !

How on earth did you blow them up with a car

Running them over I could understand, but ...

This something we always did around the 5th of November

I've got some N gauge stonepaper and I think I could use some of the parts from the OO kit. Like cut down and rework the windows or some of the other details.

Hi Firefox.

The kits I mentioned are all brick structures ?

Best regards,

Joe

Just like the original Thunderbirds show with all those intricate models that must have taken a while to build and then they'd blow them to pieces! At least it was caught on film, I suppose.

Yes, the brick walls are no good, overscale bricks, but I was planning to use some other bits like windows, but cut down, and then combine with N Gauge Stonecard - I haven't examined the kit fully yet - just took a quick look in the newsagents but there seemed some possibilities.

Use them to create a "land of the giants" theme park in a corner of your layout.

If anyone wants my freebie from the January RM they can have it for free if they pay postage. Any takers, pm me.

Scalescenes gave away the printed 00 factory set up of 4 pieces in on mag. No easy way to redo in n other than taking to a good colour photocopy machine. If you wanted them in n you had to pay. In another mag the Brunel wall link code was given away to download from the ss site for free.

Another option: sell for more than a tenner on Ebay:

No words. People are daft. It says it was a free kit in the picture on the auction!

Just proves there's an endless supply of mugs out there.
