Yes please! This is awesome- do they want to sign up as well🤷‍♀️ And to keep the eye candy going, here's disembarkation on the Italian mainland from Scicily on one of the last genuine train ferries in the world!

Magnificent, and along with your current cardboard fixation, you can get plastered in this... Another @Paul821 and me double header in prospect!

Have you been on the oth🙀🤷er bits rec

I'm flattered and honoured. To quote Curtis Mayfield, 'you don't need no ticket to ride this train' but welcome to hobo express! Build suff and have fun are the guiding principles- any scale, gauge, location, era etc. They very much are! I'd love to see lots of infrastructure getting modelled, this is your chance to build Penn Central in O gauge! @Paul821 and I will be overseeing the Cavalcade of Chaos with the regulator wedged open. If it has a railway connection, it's in! Browsing the Walhers website, I'd say that obviously the 3 road roundhouse qualifies but the Bookshop kit doesn't (even if you fill the display with railroad titles), transhipment facilities? Include a section of track and they're in! I'm unshakable in my belief that BM is the sensible bit of the internet, so if you'r conscious says it's R/R related than it's in! This could be the ultimate Build 'em all!

My contender for most satisfying kit ever! Pure 😊

'The plan is not without merit'😉 And hopefully once everyone's dug out all the vac and resin in their stashes, they'll be inspired to vote for this

For anyone unsure what to build, Airfix have helpfully re-issued their B-17 with an option for lots of black paint...

And don't forget there's bonus kudos for manufacturers who aren't on the list 😁

Best to keep the Speedos on, some clothing is better than nothing

I've had a little look at the (paint) stash and I have Matt Black Gloss Black Satin Black Coal Black Anthracite Not sure what the difference is between the last two but I do wonder if I can use them all🤷‍♀️

I'm inspired

Does this mean some modelling will start soon? Oh, I'm loosing interest🤣

As a Peacenik, who rarely build shoots stick things, I'd be happy for that to happen. BUT, there's only so many days in the year and the GB calendar is maxed out most of the time as it is. There would be other contenders for a 'regular' slot- personally I'd like to see Anything but Injection Moulded as a regular. And I'd be happy to see more flSaly Mc SeaDog, or cars. It's brutal, and I've back so many losers, but it is the way of the bunfight so let it throw it's hat in the ring with the others.

I thought that was Standard Operating Procedure. I DO TRY to limit myself, but at this stage it's only an 'expression of interest'. Not all of my horses will make it to the start line of the bunfight in the autumn contest, and that usually whittles it down a lot more (such are my obscure tastes). It's all gone very wrong (or right) this year and I've way too many GBs committed to and I only one in the gallery with a third of the year gone!

Otaki- now that's a name for the 'Lesser Known Classics GB'- I'd even forgotten they existed! And with that I'm off to Kingkit, but I bet they're not less than a tenner, but it'll be nostalgic.
