      Oh don't tease me with that, I heard loads of Rumors ages ago about a Trumpeter B1 Vulcan and nothing surfaced. I hope they do do it. Even with accuracy issues we can over come that I am sure. Unless they box a Gloucester Javelin !

  7. So many kits on the go and still im tempted to start more!, madness utter madness

      Yea thats the problem I have. Its not a problem when I think how I will enjoy it. But it does not stop the feeling of wanting to get them done and move on to new things.

      No loss of desire to do it. Just got a lot on with work and busy with getting ready for a gig. I guess I have modelled way more than usual the last 3 years. A break is good from time to time. I seem to spend more time sanding the parts than anything. These days.

      I have not even been on here Much, tax returns , christmas all gets in the way of modeing time haha

      Hi Cliff my gosh we have the GB too.. It slipped my mind I'm useless arnt I !, feel free to ask away about the snow and you can always

      Contact Steve (Precision Ice and Snow on here) he's the chap who makes it and he's developed a new snow wash that you literally brush on ideal for localised areas of snow / frost.

      What are you planning :)

  11. Merry Christmas Everyone :)

      Spitfire is a nice drop. My favourite is our local Bathams Bitter they sell at the Severn Valley Railway Kidderminster station, nothing else like it If you like a brew I suggest you try it

      It's a funny age Im weighing up how short and how long life seems. I'm just remembering what captain Picard says at the end of the film generations"

      "Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived."

      I have not had a good spend in a while after I made some purchases yesterday. Thanks to General Melchett persuading me to open me wallet for few things got the wallet slick as a baby seal and the notes started flying out

      :)

  19. AT LAST MY STUDIO IS FIXED I CAN RESUME RECORDING MY ALBUM !!! YAY ;)

    1. HOUSTON

      HOUSTON

      Guitar music ? Or songs? Or classical guitar music?

    2. robvulcan

      robvulcan

      Me I do all storts of styles but my own is an instrumental style. With many styles woven into one if you get me. Think Satriani, Steve Vai, Whitesnake, Van Halen, With elements, of Blues, Jazz, Funk, Classical, Eastern, Arabic, Japanese, Egyptian stuff all thrown in, With some Psybeient Celtic pieces and sound scapes, Film score sounding stuff really. But also something to groove too.

      Cheers Rob ;)

  20. Well I must be mad starting another Vulcan but I am happy ;)

      Hi mate well there are a few in WIP at the moment. I have just started an Airfix Vulcan B1 not sure which yet. Just nearly completed B2 XM597 again Airfix. Then there is the Dragon Vulcans XM595 nearly done but needs her dio doing of a snowy canadian forest. XL426 which has been stalled on and off since about January of last year. Then the other little B1s too.

      These are gonna be silver so i might Alclad them.

      Then there is a Frog Vulcan B1 that's be been part made that I am go...

  21. Precision Ice and Snow available from me at Cosford £20 a set from the boot of my car, £10 cheeper than online. Collar me at the Bomber Command table. ;)

      Tumble weed moment Rob! I'd love to try it one day but not yet, mojo on holiday. Again....

    2. robvulcan

      robvulcan

      Oh you should try it. I was skeptical at first. But its so fun and easy to use plus looks so amazing It got me into dioramas. Its refreshing to have something that works best when you literally throw it onto a model randomly through the sieve.

      It got my mojo going again. Cheers Mate ;)

  22. Oh Great !!! Got a stomoch bug shivering in bed and frightened to cough, And I thought the milliput would be for the vulcan!
