    2 1/2 completed builds so far. Who would thought egg planes could be so challenging.

    70th anniversary of D day. My thanks go to all the brave men & women of all the military services who gave everything for a free world. You may not see yourselves as Heroes, but you are to us!

    Am I a modeller or a collector of kits? Some I have plans for, some are spur of the moment, others are locked safely in the garage, yet still I find myself going hmmm yes I do need to buy this kit!

      And to prove the point I have just ordered Tamiya's Ducati 916. Another one I have plans for that will end up in the stash then moved to the garage for safety!!

      And me, the Panigale .. and the Hase new Su35 :-) Remember, they are worth more in their boxes than built up !! ( I know that's not the point though)

      The panigale is next months addition to the stash!!

  4. Hockeyboy76

    Chuffed to bits!! Entered my 1/144 TSR2 GR3 into the Salisbury Model Show Comp & got a Highly commended!! Not bad when your in the same category as Airfix Model World's Malcome V Lowe. Very nice chap too.

  5. Hockeyboy76

    Completed my first Group Build. Chuffed to bits

    Do I buy a Tamiya RC lunchbox or Pit Road 1/144 LCAC?

      Radio Control lunchbox sounds awesome. Mobile sandwiches or am I getting the wrong end of the stick

  7. Hockeyboy76

    Evans to replace Clarkson. Will you be watching new Top Gear?

      I think it will work actually IF the co-presenters aren't treated as stooges. Jodie and Suzi should be the other two. Clever, knowledgeable, great on TV and good at getting the best out of those they interview.

      No thanks.I'll wait until the Three Amigos rock up on Channel 4 or ITV.Evans waffling on the way he does on the radio won't cut it for me.

      Has Suzi improved at presenting the BBC F1 coverage ? Only caught her the once after moving to Sky and thought she looked rather awkward and out of place.

  8. Hockeyboy76

    F1 Driver shake up. That will make things interesting.

  9. Hockeyboy76

    First build of 2015 completed.

  10. Hockeyboy76

    First go at re scribing panel lines. Happy with results. It's a Harrier Eggplane so not many to do.

  11. Hockeyboy76

    Half way through two weeks leave. Euro stubble coming on nicely, new scooter album downloaded. Bliss!

  12. Hockeyboy76

    Just how long do you leave oil paints on for weathering before brushing off?

    1. Nomore Shelfspace

      Nomore Shelfspace

      Oil paint can takes days to dry, but I'd get the xcess off as soon as possible.

    2. Mitch K

      Mitch K

      Just about enough time for the thinning solvent to flash off. If you don't wait till the solvent goes you pull the paint out, but it dries sooner than you think!

  13. Hockeyboy76

    Just inhaled a lethal dose of helium. So happy I could float away

    1. Brad

      Brad

      That's one way to get high.

  14. Hockeyboy76

    Just seen a video of a Vulcan doing a complete roll & a Victor breaking the sound barrier!! Gobsmacked!!

    1. Duncan B

      Duncan B

      Well do share old chap, or else we'll think you've made it up just like that daft story about Airfix making a 1/72 Shack.

    2. Hockeyboy76

      Hockeyboy76

      Was on Discovery Chanel. Victors vulcans & Cuba. Worth a watch.

    3. Duncan B

      Duncan B

      Aye right! You'll be telling us that Airfix are doing a Beaufighter next!

  15. Hockeyboy76

    Lost 1 x mojo. If found please return. ( no reward other than satisfaction)

      Probably hiding in a kit at the bottom of the stash!

    3. Rick Brown

      Rick Brown

      Worth going through every kit then!

      Just lost mine. P40 on the bench no longer. Paint disaster, irretrievable.

  16. Hockeyboy76

    Model desk tidy at last. Bulldog to back burner as 1/144 F18E retakes mojo. Well until all cmk starfighter detail kits arrive.

    1. Rick Brown

      Rick Brown

      Good news indeed! My Mojo has stirred, nearly finished K5054!

  17. Hockeyboy76

    Models4hobby 50% airfix sale. Well that's the daughters Xmas pressies sorted & a harrier for the stash. Sorry too early for Xmas??

  18. Hockeyboy76

    Not nearly as talented as I look!

      Procopius

      Appearances are everything in this game, my son.

  19. Hockeyboy76

    Oh dear. My new airfix Blenheim has a big gap behind the glazing were the roof joins the cockpit

    1. Rick Brown

      Rick Brown

      That doesn't bode well. Just your kit or all kits?

  20. Hockeyboy76

    Old enough to know better, To old to care!

    1. Brad

      Brad

      It's rather liberating to just not care anymore isn't it.

  21. Hockeyboy76

    On a roll. 2nd build of 2015 complete. M16 half track too. Classic kit.

  22. Hockeyboy76

    One door opens when another closes. That's bad kitchen fitters for you.

  23. Hockeyboy76

    Pit-Road 1/144 Victor, due Dec14. Now that looks cheeky

  24. Hockeyboy76

    Revell 1/48 Apache longbow 100 years Dutch aviation £12:49 + £3:00 p&p. damn you eBay. Another addition to the stash!

    1. Brad

      Brad

      That's about all the Italeri kit is worth. I hope you weren't expecting Hasegawa plastic in it.

  25. Hockeyboy76

    Sea King, last week, Spitfire this week, Hawk next week & not the model variety
