To which the response is " it's knitting with plastic and glue "

What was the best thing before sliced bread ? 🤔

Any kind of Vietnam anniversary coming up ? If so then O-1 & O-2 would be very welcome releases..... 2025 perhaps ?

It's very variable. If work is hectic, zero. Sometimes its a couple of hours at a time at the weekend. Sometimes many months can pass between visits to the bench. I do find that my modelling time reduces dramtically over the winter months when its dark outside.

You guys got a nurse with your diabetes ? I've been short-changed - all I got was condescension & a prescription !

Oh ? Everything I read said "no tickets on the door, online only". ....

This x 100. The main reason I didn't go this year. Hall 3 has the food stall seating, hall 1 has the restaurant across the corridor, but Hall 2 has nada. (second reason being the price hike from £10 to £23. Sorry, inflation has been 20 % , not 133% !!)

X-Files : "Alpha" and "Shapes" not the best episodes to watch before letting the dog out at night !

Sir ! Whofan is showing pictures of see-through Beaver covers again ! 🤣

Starting to worry I might have to actually DO some modelling while waiting for news of everyone's Telford purchases to start showing up here.....

The chap in the long overcoat with 1:72 kits attached to the lining ? "Psst.... wanna buy a cheap Spitfire ?"

Build something else easier to do. And just put "death by a thousand stencils" back on the shelf of doom for a bit.

Replace a few pickled onions with pickled jalapenos, and then wait to find out who isn't paying attention.....😆

Thanks all for the clarifications. I deliberately did not give too much context for fear of the topic drifting into banned territory, but suffice to say we all watch/read the news. You've all cleared up the situation re model aircraft at home or at an exhibition, which is what I wanted to know.

Without delving into the murky forbidden "P" word, read that over the weekend someone had a sign removed from them and was told by the Police that "it is illegal to display a swastika in public". I thought that was inorrect, and there is no such law in the UK - is this just a case of a badly informed policeman, or are WW2 German aircraft exhibitors at Telford in danger of getting their work confiscated ?

That was not a great advert for Rugby Union. Serious questions to be asked of TMO.

That red card has just ruined the match It's a contact sport after all...

If I had to make a big prediction.... Vintage Classics "Little Nellie" ?

Airfix doing a range of football managers now ?

I'm not saying that my modelling is heavily biased towards military aircraft, but if I had to make Airfix Blue Tits then I'd still hang AMRAAMs under the wings

Go all religious on them ? Surely you don't mean.... signing them up for a subscription to The Watchtower ? 😁

NOOOOOO......... oops, I mean well done South Africa

Scalpels.... that'll make for an interesting delivery when they start dropping packages from drones..... 🤔

I'm using a variation of that strategy too.... buying more kits to hide the lack of shelf-space
