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

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

      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!

    What an F1 race! Congrats Max, youngest F1 race winner.

    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.

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

    Spent most of yesterday deciding which 1/44 Typhoon to make, so why have I started a Victor?

  6. Hockeyboy76

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

  7. Hockeyboy76

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

  8. Hockeyboy76

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

  9. Hockeyboy76

    First build of 2015 completed.

    Wonder what Santas bringing me tonight?

      A moot point

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

      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!

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

      Worth going through every kit then!

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

  13. Hockeyboy76

    Not nearly as talented as I look!

      Appearances are everything in this game, my son.

  14. Hockeyboy76

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

  15. Hockeyboy76

    Completed my first Group Build. Chuffed to bits

  16. Hockeyboy76

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

      That's one way to get high.

  17. Hockeyboy76

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

  18. Hockeyboy76

    F1 Driver shake up. That will make things interesting.

  19. Hockeyboy76

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

  20. Hockeyboy76

    What is the best Flanker in 1/72 scale?

    1. Paul A H

      Paul A H

      That depends on the variant! For a straight Su-27, the new Trumpeter kits are pretty good. For newer variants, try Hasegawa or Zvezda.

  21. 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!

  22. Hockeyboy76

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

  23. 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?

  24. Hockeyboy76

    Tamiya's Ducati Paningale is mine. Lots of lovely detail inside the box but is my modelling mojo in their too?

  25. Hockeyboy76

    Very tempted to buy Eduards Longest day Spitfire. Only downside is having to sell my car first!

      It's not that expensive, is it?!?
