The Joy of Sprue
(Incorporating Yorkshire Veterans Model Group)
Welcome to our pages:
We are a friendly, on-line modelling group open to all age groups. We also arrange a small number of trips, meetings and workshops for our members and guests. The Joy of Sprue and the YVMG are for modellers who enjoy making plastic model kits or simply collect them. We also welcome those who prefer wood, card and other materials to work with; but whatever your hobby preference, this is a site for you to become part of and build on. Show your models in our gallery section. Ask questions or tell us about kits old and new. Swap and sell if you wish. Post your opinions or reviews - the possibilities are endless? Most importantly let's be a source of encouragement to others, young and less young and strive to keep our shared interest alive and always enjoyable.

Today's 'Quick Tip' from VMS
(Watch out for more JoS modelling tips here)
Sometimes things go wrong, and your model receives an imperfect paint job. Don't worry, what seems like a failed model now will soon be ready for a new primer coat and the whole problem a distant memory! With Clean Slate 2.0 you will be able to easily remove paint on your model with absolutely zero damage to polystyrene.
Cleans Slate is truly polystyrene friendly acrylic paint remover/stripper like no other. Parts may be in prolonged contact with it, you can soak them for days even. Plastic won't discolour or become brittle. Even CLEAR PARTS are OK to be cleaned with Clean Slate! No other remover can do that! Ultrasonic cleaner compatible.

Despite the problems we have all faced in past months, great new kits continue to arrive at the Dave Coley Emporium. Among these is a range of 1/48 Roden kits which are truly impressive in quality and appearance. Some of our members are currently building some of these and we look forward to their reviews in due course.
Dave Coley's model emporium now has huge stocks of plastic kits and accessories so I recommend a visit to his website (link below). It's good to have a UK outlet with good-prices and reasonable postage. Thank you Dave Coley for excellent service (as usual) and your support!
