    Hello everyone,

    It was tricky, but I made it. Back in the U.K.. Attended the infected blood hearings in October.
     

    Persuaded SingaporeAir not to charge me £600 to bring a wheelchair over.

    Managed to pick up the by now ancient Volvo 940 Estate, get it through the MOT, taxed, tested.

    Insurance was a monumental faff.

    One that matched the rather Nordic long story telling name of the company I used.

     

    Now settled in a nice spot in Dunoon.

    A little bird told me that @Scimitar may live here too. I’m not sure if there are any other Scot or adopted Scot  Britmodellers nearby?

     

    Please get in touch if so.

     

    It literally nearly had me pushing up the daisies, the relocation, but recovering now.

     

    No tools, paints, brushes nothing.

    My wife and family over in Oz for.  Christmas. Like many of us; I will most likely be alone and mainly bedbound.

     

    The latter part may start to change in the new year; the Involuntary separation from my very loved wife; a challenge.

     

    She did send a couple of nice little Dekno resin kits over. Modern, lovely quality Dekno.

     

    I will need a razor saw, knife, cutting mat, all the essentials. So close to Christmas and after the vast expense of the move; a bit tricky.

     

    However; I will have a look in the boxes and online and consider the most economical and rapid way to get modelling. It will help beat the “missing my wife and step kids at Christmas” blues.

      Welcome (back?) to the UK. If you need any kits, drop me a PM and I'll arrange a care package.

      I'm not sure I have Peggy Suicide but then I'm not sure what I've got anymore as I allowed my wife to sort my CDs.

      That's a great album, not as great as Fried mind but still great.

      A great song, from a great band.

    I'm slowly realising why there aren't any WiPs of the Sword Spitfire XIV... it's one of those kits that looks good on the sprue but doesn't go together well.

      Rob, don't let the fact that the XIV's cockpit makes the fuselage spread so much you need to do some serious shaving of the wingroots, after cutting the bottom part of the instrument panel off and shaving the sides of what's left (and trimming bit the seat fits on) and that it also interferes with the rear part of the lower wing meeting the fuselage or that the lower wing has excess plastic, which doesn't help with the fit, put you off.

      The Sword Vc and Merlin Seafire go together pretty well.

      It's not, sadly.

       

      Merry Christmas to you too.
