  1. Do any of my fellow US-based modellers know of a good source for Brengun Typhoons?

      Edward, in the absence of any local advice, what ones did you have in mind?

  4. I apologize for not being around much, but I miss all of you immensely. Some day hopefully I'll be able to go back to the UK. Not soon enough, though.

      I'm sure I speak for many of us here when I say we miss you too.

      Hi Andy,

       

      No the WIP is up to date, I haven't even got the fuselage halves together yet - also I'm off to Aberdeen for a week tomorrow to help Jamie at Sovereign Hobbies tin-up some paint for one of the US distributors so I won't be making a lot of progress in the immediate future. How is yours going? Are you going to have the engine on display or all closed up?

       

      Cheers,

      Why thank you Steve, yes, got a fair amount of anaesthetic in to numb the pain, but saving it for the weekend as I have a half-day at work tomorrow so need to stay upright today :lol:

      Ah, thanks mate - I actually recommended that game to my younger brother on the strength of the Grauniad's review of it... I am glad I did now :D

      Hope you - and they - enjoy it mate. I still have very fond memories of my dad taking us to the Duxford air shows in the 1970's :D

  15. Torn between the desire to do 1/700 ships and the desire not to do something that looks insanely difficult and frustrating.

    1. Stew Dapple

      Stew Dapple

      Well, give it a go, and if, as expected, it turns out to be insanely difficult and frustrating, put it to one side and build an aeroplane instead :D 

       

      Hope you have a good weekend mate,

  16. Not dead, just devoid of mojo and overworked. 

    1. Stew Dapple

      Stew Dapple

      That's good mate, the mojo will return, hopefully the workload will diminish, but the 'dead' part would have been a tough one to overcome :)

  20. I have been gifted a Airfix wellington for my birthday from my lovely children! Gosh it looks a highly detailed and beautiful kit! Shame it’s in my stash and not someone else’s 😂

     

    text from ex wife on my birthday:

     

    hi, your daughter has informed me we MUST buy you an ‘Airfix wellington’.... how do I do this, she won’t let it go.

     

    I of course sent her a link within seconds.

     

    good to see my 8 year old has my back, though it’s noted my son (turned 7 five days after me) remained quiet about the whole thing  

  21. I feel the need to tell you all I actually built something today, in fact that’s not accurate! Somethings!

     

    they are nothing special but I got them buttoned up... not my finest work but fun!

     

    I’m back in the game!!

  22. This is what happens when you argue with a horse!

    IMG_0549

     

    We've just had a fun weekend. One of our horses went badly lame on Saturday,and the other one did this to me on Sunday morning as I was giving him some hay in his stable. It's only the second time it has happened in 25 years but the last time I ended up in hospital with concussion. The damage was mostly done by my glasses being smashed into my face which also cut my eyebrow in couple of places and removed some hair. The glasses survived and the lame horse is getting better, so must n't grumble.

      Stew Dapple

      One of your horses punched you in the face? While you were wearing glasses? That's pretty harsh John :( 

       

      Hope it doesn't hurt as much as it looks like it ought to...

       

      Cheers,

       

      Stew
