PUBLIC GROVELLING APOLOGY
In view of some of my recent weird and plain wrong comments (a few moment's thought about the chemistry behind one particularly stupid remark should have held my jabbing right index finger), I have decided that I am going to keep a very low profile on other people's threads and maybe my own for a while - and sit in the Naughty Corner to ponder my poor behaviour. I will still be lurkin' an' likin', however.
Cheers,
Alex.

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

Hello folks.
Just a quick note. I'm afraid the old health has taken a dive again. I see the specialists on the 7th December, seems I'll be having a little liver surgery soon. Has gone really 'off' in just 3 days . Liver functions gone to.
Very frustrating.
I didn't want people to think I'm being ignorant with messages, emails etc.
Just asleep a lot.
Carry on muddling, back soon

To Mozzie or not to Mozzie? That is the question.

22 days since my big Hobbyterra order was processed through a shipping facility in Ukraine, and no sign of it here yet...getting antsy.

Coming down with something YET AGAIN. Being a parent is great.

Miss Bennett meets the North Gloucestershire Regiment (28mm work in progress). Not yet convinced they merit a thread of their own.

Did you ever have one of those days.....A ninety year old neighbour had her computer hacked this afternoon, while I was at her house sorting it out, we were burgled!

I know a few of my BM compadres are Moon spotters, Eclipse people and skygazers, astronomers.
The Super Moon is here tonight in the Southern Hemisphere already.
I only have the iPhone and the moon really is ludicroudly bright.
Here is a rough picture so those a few hours behind me know what they're looking forward to:
Any advice on how I could have taken a better pic with the phone is welcome, but I hope it gives an idea of how bright it is .
Best regards

A tripod and the ability to stop the lens down to a narrow aperture...not easy with a phone. I tried this evening with my phone, and got the same result as you; tried again with the Canon Powershot zoomed in to 600 mm (35 mm equivalent) at f/8.0 with slightly but not much better success (no tripod, being lazy). Moon very clear tonight (15/11/16) and bright despite some cirrus high up. @Navy Bird is the one to ask, I think.

Aristocrats: "I Think I Am Becoming A God"
By Captain Keith Douglas (24 January 1920 – D+3 1944), Nottinghamshire (Sherwood Rangers) Yeomanry
The noble horse with courage in his eye,
clean in the bone, looks up at a shellburst:
away fly the images of the shires
but he puts the pipe back in his mouth.
Peter was unfortunately killed by an 88;
it took his leg away, he died in the ambulance.
I saw him crawling on the sand, he said
It's most unfair, they've shot my foot off.How can I live among this gentle
obsolescent breed of heroes, and not weep?
Unicorns, almost,
for they are fading into two legends
in which their stupidity and chivalry
are celebrated. Each, fool and hero, will be an immortal.
These plains were their cricket pitch
and in the mountains the tremendous drop fences
brought down some of the runners. Here then
under the stones and earth they dispose themselves,
I think with their famous unconcern.
It is not gunfire I hear, but a hunting horn. -
Beast has suffered a relapse.....At present he only has half the bits (& thus quarter the RAM) that he should!
-
The mighty beast is about to fall.....But he shall be reborn (with a shiny new hard drive), hopefully by midweek at the latest!

Getting to the point where I think about next builds. Polish MiG-29? Su-9? Su-24? Harrier GR3? One of three hundred other kits on hand? Maybe some sort of psychiatric therapy? Infinite possibilities.
