  1. That's all my finished build posts for the moment. 

     

    I have a few kits which are requiring a bit of repair before I can make posts of them : Airfix Severn class lifeboat, AMT Ghostbusters Ecto 1A car, AMT USS Reliant NCC-1984, Revell UH-1 helicopter and Revell USS Reagan CVN-76 Aircraft carrier. 

     

    I will get photos of them and posts made as soon as I can.

  2. OK...it's time.....Airfix 1:350 Type 45 destroyer painting and construction begins.....

  3. thinking about a comeback as I can't face playing computer games anymore........

  4. hmm....lots of kits to build....which one to pick first....maybe i should do a thread with a poll......

      Check which ones don't require a trip to the shops to get the right paints and paraphernalia, and take it from there, I'd say.

      Well thats easy, that would be all of my kits then as I always made sure I had all the necessary paint. I suppose some of it may have gone not usable since I last looked at 12 months ago, along with the glue....

  5. can't believe my account is still here....looks like i might be back......

  6. going AWOL for a while...... gotta focus on other things for a while.....

      Thanks Col, just got lots going on at work and with health at the moment. Going on a bit of a fitness drive to improve my health. I'll be back.

      Spookie, must be something in the water.

  7. well at this rate I will be splitting my time between 5 models, 2 Lynx, 1 Airwolf and 2 Ferraris.....

  8. My model workshop is starting to look less like a library and more like a workshop.....

  9. Is going to see The Martian at the Cinema tonight....I hope the film is as good as Andy Weir's amazing book

      do tell if it is

      The book was better than excellent

      The film was brilliant....

      I want to see it again and thoroughly recommend it....Some information changes but nothing major....Matt Damon is very funny as Mark Witney....

      Thanks, I really enjoyed the book so this is a must go see then!

  10. Has sorted out my next few projects and photographed the sprues of some that haven't been out of the box yet......

  11. bad news....i won't be doing any work on the B-52 tonight as apparently i've got to move fridge/freezer around and also watch Fast & Furious 7..... OH JOY......much rather be doing models.....

  12. oh well...i guess my mojo has gone on holiday again....good thing i didn't unpack any of my models or even touch the F-22 kit i bought at eastbourne last week.....

      Do a What If? There's a GB on at the moment. Helps me no end.

    2. Rickpadwick1801

      Rickpadwick1801

      Good suggestion, I do have a B-52 that I was going to do as a what if build with 4 engines in RAF service, but I need some more weaponry for it rather than just the nukes the kit comes with....any suggestions ?

  13. photos from Eastbourne airshow are ready.....I will post them tonight.....

  14. had a great day at Eastbourne airshow....went to Train Times model shop (bought a kit) and I think I have my mojo back at long last, but time will tell..... lots of photos to follow :-)

  15. is going home from Menorca today.....been a very relaxing week, goin to be a shame to go back to the real world.....

  16. going AWOL....its almost time to get on a real plane and go on holiday :-)

      Look out for interesting liveries

  17. still wondering whether I am going to ever mangle a bit of plastic again....still not interested in building any of my kits...my birthday is not going to be fun as my birthday present is a model.....

      Just get in and start something. Once you get going the clock will jump forward without your awareness. At least that's my experience.

      Don't fret Rick, these things will sort themselves out. Maybe you need to focus your energies on other parts of your life for now...?

      Sometimes watching videos on Youtube of modellers at work helps to whet my appetite for the hobby; perhaps watching a few segments of a build or two will see the mojo return.

  18. has not done any modelling for ages and don't see any in my future anytime soon.....not even my birthday present from my wife will help sort this loss of mojo out.....status = long time lurker

      Rick, this wrong. You need the styrene, it needs you. Get an Airfix 72 Spit 1A and bash it out for the BoB GB an let the lurker be gone. I will donate a scheme from the Xtradecal BoB sheet to get you started.

      It's a block a lot of us encounter. Invariably it's caused by reaching a stage in construction that is a bit boring for example masking or that last swipe with wet or dry. I find boredom is often what makes me sit down and re-start something, thus getting the ball rolling again...!

      I have recently got myself a new computer and playing games on it seems to be more interesting.....i've packed all of my unstarted models up, packed all of my finished ones up from the book case as well in the office and put it all my books back on it....i'm in deep trouble as my wife has bought me a model for my birthday and is talking about not even giving it to me......

  19. is wondering where my mojo has gone......i've now packed up all of my models, paint etc as they haven't been touched for almost 2 months.......

    1. Nomore Shelfspace

      Maybe becuse it's summer.

    2. logical

      I think someone had better tell the weather.

      probably is that its summer and i'm out on the push bike every weekend with the missus and the fact that i have a new computer as well......

  20. good haul at the carboot this morning....but best bit was being given an old Airfix 1:72 Harrier GR7 kit .....has been started but looks like it might be missing a canopy so might only be suitable for parts salvage....

    1. PhantomBigStu

      PhantomBigStu

      I have a complete GR5 boxing spare if you want to complete it?

    2. Rickpadwick1801

      Rickpadwick1801

      Thanks Stu, I'm not actually sure if anything else is missing from it. But yes I would like to complete it as harriers are one of my favourite jets....

    3. PhantomBigStu

      PhantomBigStu
