  1. Ocean Colour Scene at The Astoria in March 2000 - brilliant and crazy gig at a venue well missed. If memory serves, the warm up was a not very well known band who only had a top 35 song at the time called Coldplay. I distinctly remember Chris Martin introducing their last song of the set which was being released shortly saying he hopes it goes a little higher than No.35 in the charts…that song was Yellow. The rest is history.
  2. Agree that layout of display tables was much better than previous years. Luckily I bought a ticket online so didn’t have the trial and tribulations others appeared to of have. There were parking attendants there…..however I didn’t see them once directing cars where to park…..or actually step foot in the car park. Maybe I’m doing them a disservice though.
  3. Announced same weekend as “Masters of the Air” is released…. Nice work Border Models.
  4. 26 years old…I naively always think of him being in his mid to late 30’s during the war. 26 years old….blimey.
  5. Lovely Spitfires. Colourcoats paints look spot on in terms of colour accuracy.
  6. Now in stock at Models For Sale, Tony.
  7. I believe D.Gilmour did a surprise one off guest vocal for Comfortably Numb on R.Waters “The Wall” tour which was after Live 8?
  8. Great start - Looking forward to seeing more of your first build on Britmodeller since joining.
  9. Just seen the footage on the news - absolutely shocking. RIP to all those on board. 😢
  10. Funnily enough, watched your video in bed this morning whilst drinking a cup of tea - being the only day I get a lie in! Really enjoyed it and look forward to watching more. Cheers, Mark

  12. Very sad news indeed. Remember Mel at shows as he was always dressed very smartly in shirt, tie and suit.

    Covid Jab

    I’m 46 years old and managed to book appointments for my 1st and 2nd jabs via the NHS website Monday evening. 1st one being this Saturday and 2nd on July 3rd!
  14. Well all the money saved through lockdown will be spent on 2021 new releases. My wife is going to kill me!!
  15. No problems, Keith. If you haven’t used them before, MRP paints are a joy to spray. Just keep the air pressure low and make sure you use in a well ventilated room, ideally with a decent spray booth. Gnat coming along nicely BTW. Cheers, Mark
  16. Hi Keith, To purchase MRP paints, look no further than HM Hobbies. They offer a first class service and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Link as follows:- https://www.hmhobbies.co.uk/ Hope this helps. Best regards, Mark
  17. I can assure you I was not flavour of the day with the pilot or the ground crew! Went up in a Hercules from RAF Lyneham a couple of months later and threw up four times in that....in a sick bag (or two) luckily! My surname is Sidwell but after these two incidents I was rechristened by my fellow cadets and called Yakwell 🤮😂
  18. Brilliant news! Maybe I can do a diorama with me throwing up all in the cockpit after doing aerobatics when I was in the ATC! 😂 If memory serves it was at Abingdon around 1988.
  19. Completely agree. From 95% of the reviews and build blogs, Fly Hurricane is a pig of a kit to build with very vague instructions. Doogs review on YouTube as a prime example.
  20. Funnily enough, my 9 year old nephew who’s a Spurs fan decided to do just that by phoning his West Ham supporting Grandfather after each goal. I think he realised that wasn’t so cocky and was in tears when his Grandfather reciprocated with his third and final phone call! However as an Arsenal fan I feel your pain after the Newcastle game back in 2011 when we were 4-0 up and drew 4-4. Spit looking fantastic!
  21. Maybe the most “Tottenham” game of all time, eh? Spit coming along nicely BTW.
  22. Hi Steve, Have you ever tried Flory Models clay based washes? If not, worth looking into as they are dead easy to apply and to remove with great results (and that’s saying something coming from me!). Eagle looks stunning BTW! Mark
  23. Lovely build, Ratch. Think the tail wheel might be attached back to front though?
