A Vote! What to build!
I know now I have unfinished work I should really just finish, but my head is not in that place right now.... so here are some options for a quick build.
- airfix spitfire mk XXII (race scheme as I like it more than the silver)
- airfix dauntless
- hase p-38
- airfix mustang p-51d (RAF option off the med fighters sheet)
- academy p-40, (either with the tiger on or cresswell's AC)
the choice is yyyyyyyoooouuuuurrrss....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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!!

Yes all good cheers, just had a long wait at the side of the motorway... its actually turned out better for me as the chap who towed me back knew a chap looking to get rid of his car so I bought that. It is a steal for what it is (my mechanic friend has checked it over) so I have scrapped my old car! It had done too many miles really....should have seen it coming!

My first attempt at raising a GB! 'In the navy' GB has a a buoyant (
) reception so far.
basically you get to build ANYTHING Navy... What's not to like!

Why don't children sleep when you want and sleep when you don't?

Currently on a coach to Edinburgh to see my mate and just had a low fly over by two typhoons (at a stop around the Peak District) they must have known I was here
-
I have hit a lull... why!.... I was doing so well!
i have a number of builds very near completion but cant find the drive... I just stood in the garage with a can of white primer and a wild cat kit all laid out but just didn't want to spray!? Odd.
i currently have far too much in my head at the moment but unfortunately no real way of clearing it any time soon... even with modelling, which is my normal go to.
this sucks

Hi Rob, we all suffer from this from time to time. It's all the other stuff going round in your head so you can't concentrate. Something's you can deal with yourself, they are things like replacing a tap, they need to be put right, but you know it's going to be a problem doing it, so you put it off. Your brain knows this, so keeps reminding you. It's best to just get this off your back, and get it done. I put things like this off for weeks, but feel so much better when I've done it. It's one thing less to worry about.
Other things are far more serious, like a loved one being very sick. You can do very little other than offer your support and help where you can. You still worry, but it's a different type of concern.
It's when your brain is overloaded that you can't concentrate on the things you enjoy doing. This is why I find modelling important. It's important to me because it's not important if you know what I mean. In these cases, it's just to much trouble to even do simple tasks. Sometimes, I just build a model with no painting like I showed you with that Martlet a couple of weeks back. What we tend to do is just start a new model thinking you will be more interested in a new build. But before you know it, you've come to a halt on that project as well.
When I'm like this, I listen to talking books, or plays on the radio. I find sitting there doing my model whilst listening to a story, a play or a comedy Radio 4 extra helps me relax. Hope this helps, Joe.

Don't worry too much about it (if possible...). We all know how it feels. I've been stuck since mid September as well and I'm still struggling to get back to modelling... I've started a Huey Cobra in the mean time, which also stalled and now I'm trying to finish some of my stalled models, starting with the ones nearest to completion.

My daughter has just recited a story about Winkie the wonder pigeon.... She even gave me the date the Beaufort bomber crashed in February and the miles that the poor bird flew! She said she knew I would love it so has been saying it in her head until I got home! What a great thing after a crap day! I have only just come back and she stayed awake just to tell me... Legend

I now have a working car! And at a very reasonable price.... and it's cheaper to run!! Every cloud

Doctor: I think you have an ear infection
me: sorry my ear hurts what did you say....
turns he didn't have a sense of humour, and I am losing mine.... I might do a van gough if I though it would help

What a lucky guy I am, my lovely girlfriend surprised me with an airfix b-17 for my birthday! Now I just need space and time to build it!

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

I’m in Duxford! 😃

Duxford is amazing I love it there but never been to a show!
i remember going once to fairford with ATC to ‘support’ but only really remember watching the planes! Every other time my mum and dad were taking us on our holiday on that weekend, it’s like it was planned! And adding insult to the injury we used to drive past the air balloon pub to get to the ferry, which always had a huge poster advertising it!
They appear excited, lets see if it lasts a whole day of looking at aircraft!
