  1. 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....

      Cheers Tony.... it's the old airfix so it will also be a riveting build! Some jokes just get better with age...

       

      so now

       

      spitfire 1

      p-51 1

      p-38 2

      dauntless 1 

       

      not massively helpful, but the p-38 is ahead

      That's a cunning plan I might do all future builds that way to be honest Joe! I could get a Sunderland made out of white plastic so you only need to paint the top! :)

       

      another vote for the 38, I do love a twin boom and as far as doing that to me ced, have done it too myself by putting it on the list!

       

      so.... mustang - 1 p-38 - 2

      Yes stix I was going down that route after lotering in the GB!

       

      mr p that is true and I do like the black and NMF "itsy bitsy " from the box.... in fact all the box options are great.... even if the transfers may not be!

       

      hmmmm

  4. I went down and looked at all of my unbuilt kits and was filled with self-loathing. 

  5. Hello everyone and a belated happy new year! 

    I hope to be lurking around on fantastic BM again. A mere 505 notifications to catch up on :frantic: !

    Yours truly still a bit 'blurgh' so if I'm type slow with replies, my apologies :sick:.

    Thoroughly looking forward to catching up.

    All my 'thread WIP's' are packed in boxes, so I may have to start something new. I only have three resin kits with me, so it looks like being one of those.

    I've not completed a resin one yet (he said, as if he has actually completed any I/m in the last decade :whistle: ), so it'll be fun trying (I hope).

    Happy modelling and here's to 2017 thoroughly kicking 2016 into oblivion for good!

    All the best

  6. "I'm looking at a new compressor," I said to Mrs P. "It'll be much quieter than the one I have now."

     

    "I like the one you have now. If you got a quieter one, I wouldn't know where you were when you were airbrushing."

     

    Exactly, I thought.

  7. Fellows, I am the proud new father of a little boy named Skye. He came fast; we were there and back home again in under 2.5 hours. Amazing! Everyone is doing great.

  9. Merry Christmas to all my model buddies. I wish you all the best, may you have the smiles you have brought me this past year.

  10. Wishing all fellow BritModellers a very happy Christmas :santa: !

    I didn't compete a model this year, but got quite close with four; two LaGG 3 an I-16 and a UTI-4.

    It was fun trying and great BM friends made the year very special, a lot more fun and really helped with modelling encouragement and advice :thanks: 

    .

    Everything is packed now ready for a change in location South, to Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory.

    The move happens on the 27th.

    Happy Christmas, eat, drink, be merry and I hope Santa has put something special in your sock! 

    All the best

    Only one remedy

    (The Highland Park did nothing to restore the figures, but much to restore my equanimity). A bath in Fairy Power spray stripped them back to primer and I have started again.

  14. At this point, I don't even think 2016 deserves a Spitfire build from me. I'll build them in 2017, as top cover for all the good things that are gonna need to break on through.

      Crap year, very crap.... Top cover sounds a great idea!! Sorry to hear your going to have trouble selling the house.

    1. rob85

      rob85

      No I wish it was closing! I would take the redundancy then!! No just incredibly fed up of retail after nearly 15 years of bleeding me dry....

  19. I took Mrs Biggles to hospital today for an operation to repair a torn Achilles tendon. She will be home tomorrow or Friday for 6 weeks in plaster, the first 3 being non load bearing on the affected leg, so I have been promoted to ' chief cook and bottle washer ' for the duration. 

    As someone who does not like doing nothing for any length of time, I think I might have to resort to tying her down after a couple of weeks, we shall see.
