  1. Go on then - Mrs Bonhoff has decided that my stash has remained hidden in the understairs cupboard for too long, and now the kids have moved out,, it's time we had a music room.... From the left - Ibanez 5-String Bass, a cheap Strat copy in a colour scheme to match my old rally car, a Peavey "Milestone" bass (Although given its weight, "Millstone" might be a better description), "Tanglewood" electro-acoustic 6-string and an electro-acoustic bass. Sorry to say, they've not had much use in the last 5 years after I finished playing in a band, although I've had a couple of tentative goes since they've been brought out into the light again. IanJ
  2. Another possibility - IIRC, Dinky did a diecast version if scale isn't an issue. IanJ
  3. Wondering what a Bibby is... And why they need to be distributed in articulated lorries? IanJ
  4. Oh goody! Is the Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator also available? Asking for a friend. IanJ
  5. A copy of the epic Shacklady/Morgan tome on the Spitfire, which impressed the missus no end, as she isn't a fan of my habit of buying books and stashing them for reference - In my defence, it was a good price. And an Airfix Brewster Buffalo, I was given one as a birthday present as a small child which I handed to my dad to build, as I didn't think I'd be able to do it. I'm 57 now, hoping to manage it on my own this time. IanJ
  6. Sorry Mike, That's not what I meant - "0n16.5" is O Gauge Scale, using OO track to represent narrow gauge - Dapol still produce the Rosebud/Kitmaster/Airfix L&YR "Pug" as a 00 gauge kit - https://www.dapol.co.uk/products/c026-0-4-0t-br-pug You could produce a new cab and chimney with your 3D printer? Kind regards IanJ
  7. I'd go down the 0n16.5 route too - Use a Dapol Pug with a scratch built cab that suits the larger scale and an extended chimney.
  8. Funnily enough, with the sudden subject lurch to panda cars, I was out with my retired policeman mate at a Billy Bragg gig the other weekend (and that's a 40th anniversary tour, so I was already feeling old) when he commented that, when he'd retired, he'd got young police officers under his wing who hadn't been born when he started on the beat in 1988! IanJ
  9. Could be worse, Had a roll of masking tape that advised me that I should be aged 14 or over to use it without parental supervision. IanJ
  10. Well, I've been in a state of denial over the fact that I appear to have become a railway modeller in my own right again, rather than just cheerleading / roadieing (sp?) for my dad for the last few years. So here I am, my name is Ian, and I'm a railway modeller... You can add me to the list (No idea what I'll be doing yet though) IanJ
  11. Newcastle City Centre - Yesterday. In my eyes, the second best estate car in the world.... An M-Plate Austin Montego (Best, most sensible estate, IMO, is the Skoda Octavia) IanJ
  12. Birstall, Leicester. Austin Maxi, T-Plate in pageant blue. Very tidy.
