  1. How about the run of The Man Who Sold The World, Hunky Dory, The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars, Aladdin Sane, Pin Ups, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, Low, "Heroes", Lodger, Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) and Let's Dance by David Bowie? I do know people who'd say Pin Ups and and Lodger weren't classic albums, but it's impressive anyway. Talking Heads had a good run as well: Fear of Music, Remain In Light, The Name Of This Band is Talking Heads, Speaking In Tongues, Stop Making Sense and Little Creatures - it does include two live albums, but they are great live albums.
  2. The interior doesn't take long to get together, though I'm not sure about the Mr Hobby Aqueous Interior Green I used - a bit light and bright I think. Once that's done, the main assembly is a matter of minutes, though new modellers might have trouble with the injection points on the fuselage and the front of the lower wings being on the mating faces of the parts, rather than the outside. Perhaps something in the instructions showng that these need to be cleaned off might be an idea. I've left the pilot out for now, so I can get him painted up while working on the rest of the model. He should just drop in before the canopy is fitted.
  3. You're right. My one is now in the GB.
  4. And now for the latest 1/72 scale P-51D, at least until the eastern European ones get here. This is the new Airfix starter set, with a shadow stand included in the box. Talking of the box, here's the front and the back, with the colour scheme details The sprues (there are only three grey sprues, but I've shown both sides of sprue A so the cockpit sidewall details can be seen). The other bits in the box - the paints provided are 11 Silver, 33 Matt Black, 53 Gunmetal and 155 Olive Drab And the instructions
  5. It seems to have been overshadowed by the release of the B-24, but this Mustang is now in stock on the Airfix website.

    April Fools

    Warlord Games sent this email out today: Napoleon's Great Battlefields - A New Black Powder Supplement Inspired by the most historically accurate movie about Napoleon of the last six months, we're excited to announce the upcoming release of Napoleon's Great Battlefields, a comprehensive guide to modelling the terrain of the Emperor's campaigns on the tabletop, along with new research into the tactics used at each battle. Alongside this glossy, 25-page booklet, we'll be releasing Warlord Resin Trench Systems in both 28mm and Epic Battles Scale (perfect for recreating the Battle of Waterloo!), and a superbly detailed, 2,300,000-piece plastic boxed set that can be assembled as either the Great Pyramid of Giza or the slightly smaller Pyramid of Khafre - with optional cannonball-damaged pieces! JAZZ UP YOUR TABLE! Grow Your Own Terrain! As part of our 'Green Warlord' project, we're committed to reducing plastic waste wherever possible. For our newest initiative, we've teamed up with world leading experts in microbotany, and we're delighted to be able to show off our new range of 'Grow Your Own' scenery and terrain! Simply place the TreeSeed in the supplied Warlord Resin pot, cover with compost, and water twice weekly. In two months, you'll have your very own plastic tree, ready to be snipped off at the roots and mounted on your table - no wasteful sprues here! The best bit? They grow pre-painted! Look out for our new Grow Your Own range to expand in the coming months as we branch out with even more species of tree! IT'S A MIRACLE! Epic Scale Hobby Tools! Sick of working on our awesome Epic Battles miniatures with giant, clumsy 28mm tools? We know we are, and that's why we've introduced our new range of Epic Battles Hobby Tools - perfect for working in 15mm and smaller scales! They're the same great quality tools you know and love, now sized appropriately for Epic Battles (and those of us who suffered during the Great Hand-Shrinking Epidemic of '94). Don't fumble around with giant clippers, files, and knives - for Epic Battles, you need Epic Tools! FINE DETAIL!
  7. I thought I'd start small in this GB, with the rather tiny Miniwings Sea Hawk. The packaging: The sprues: The instructions and decals. They do give you an instrument panel and seat belts!
  8. I've got the wings and tailplanes on, added the wheels up undercarriage and cleaned up the joints. Just the canopy and a few details to add and I can get to the paintwork.
  9. Seatbelts added and seat now in the cockpit. I've also got the intake splitter and jet pipe assembled and in the fuselage, as well as the cockpit, but I haven't got any photos of them as I'm waiting for the PVA I used to add the noseweight to dry.
  10. I've got a lot of 1/144 scale kits around, so I'm in.
  11. I was thinking of something based at Hornchurch or North Weald, but mention of AEC brings me even closer to home, being a Walthamstow lad. Unfortunately they moved to Southall in 1927, so no Matadors or Routemasters, but a B-Type is definitely possible. One of these days I'll check what aircraft types flew from RNAS Chingford during the First World War, as that would also fit. As you might guess from this, I'm in.
  12. Plenty of stuff in the stash that would fit in here, though I might end up buying an Atlantis reissue of the old Aurora Godzilla...
