Hi There, what a beauty. The sound track to the opening titles of The Italian Job has wormed into my head!

Hi Alexey, I had one of the BMW C1 scooters and it was the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. This new C1 looks well interesting. I also have a soft spot for the Monotracer - https://peraves.wordpress.com

Hi Guys n Gals, well I need to change my previous answer, as I've just placed an order for mine, a CCM GP450S.

Hells Bells that's nice.

Good Grief, there's no way to improve this work, it's stunning.

Hi Guys n Gals, on the 1st August 1982 (remember the days when the registrations all changed on the 1st August, and there were midnight parties to collect the bikes eh) I bought my first ever brand new motorcycle, a Yamaha XT250 and registered as YNF787Y. She was beautiful and way better than the previous older bikes I'd owned. A few short years later she went over to my brother, after I'd bought larger bikes but she was then stolen from outside his house, never to be seen again. Fast forward three decades and I now own several bikes, including a much more modern Yamaha XT250 but I always had a soft spot for my first Yammy. Anyway which commuting last week I was involved in an incident in the snow, with a van, where the driver left the scene of the accident. Hopefully there's not much damage to my trusty steed and minor muscle damage to my shoulder (which should heal within a few weeks). Whilst off work I did some searching and came across an old 1/12 scale Bandai kit of my very machine. It gets better, I found one on Ebay and the seller accepted my offer! So that's the story of my latest purchase. I can't wait to get my hands on it. It must be fate.

Morning Guys n Gals, just found this review of this kit. http://www.detailscaleview.com/2016/02/belkits-124-ford-escort-rs1600-mk1-bel.html Shame that the bonnet is moulded into the body and there's no engine to display but it still looks like a smart kit to me!

But only after they do the DHC-2 Beaver.

Beggar me, that's a first! The lights being on in the Battle of Britain Hall!

Hi A1C3, nice machine. You should pop over to http://diffrentstrokers.com/phpBB2/index.phpwhere you'll be welcomed with open arms. I'm under the same username of The Cameraman.

Hi Guys n Gals, my previous dream bike selection has suddenly changed! I need a lotto jackpot win now! I can almost smell this.

Hi A1C3, come on then, spill the beans, what 1/1 scale machine did you buy off him? Was it a stroker?

Hi Spence, what an exquisite build you've created there.

Hi Matt, yeah I tried 'em but, as you say, only in 1/48th scale, where I need 1/72nd.

Beavers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ryan, if they'd make the Pratt n Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior, as used in the Beaver, Goose, Staggerwing etc, in 1/72 scale, I'd order loads!

Hi Radleigh, this takes me back almost 20 years ago, when I was sat in the beast, on Sproat Lake, ahh, what a trip that was!

Hi Guys n Gals, I see that Heller are to re-release their 1/8th scale Yamaha TY125, in the 3rd quarter of 2016 and wonder if any of our clan have built this kit in it's original form? As soon as it's out, I'll be buying one for sure!

Bye Eck, that interior looks good. Here's a 1/1 scale image I took last year.

Hi Guys n Gals, at last, the 1/8 scale Yamaha TY125's back! I thought I was going to have to pay £50+ for one, which I nearly committed too only last week, but not now. Absolutely brilliant news.

Hi Guys n Gals, you just have to love even the idea of a HOW (Hercules On Water)! Brilliant.

Hi Guys n Gals, those that know me won't be surprised to find I've a delightful Frog Beaver in my stash!

Good Man, So where in Canada are you off to then?

Hi Will, they have a beautiful Argentine Mercedes G Wagon on display, that was captured during the Falklands campaign.

Hi Guys n Gals, no need to guess what I managed to buy at todays Bolton IPMS show? Yep an Airfix Beaver! Only found one this year but one's better than none eh?
