And of course Mark @2996 Victor now has the dilemma of whether to keep indulging me with 'Floaty Boaty Things' on the build list or use a correct designation🤔🤣

A sort of 'Three is the Magic Number'?

There was an attempt at a conversions GB a few years back, it never got off the drawing board 🥲. but I've still got the components in my stash for a very complicated B737 conversion of part injection (fuselage) and part vac (wings) so I'm straight in. Last time out on this, We allowed up to 25% IM for raiding the spares box for munitions, details etc. So maybe it could be tweaked into at least 25% not from the kit? 25% was chosen because it's a GB number as in kits to be no more than 25% complete for at start. -

Colonel Bill Kilgore actually misquoted @trickyrich and it should be, 'I love the smell of resin in the morning'. Health Advisory, don't sniff resin dust or you might end up like him🤣 Regardless of how cold the winter gets, don't light the stove until you've found it! Reminds me that I used to have a lovely wooden trellis viaduct kit, was never going to build it so sent it to auction, but you've got me wondering about some G gauge wooden wagon kits that are available 🤔 -
In this case it might be the best term- the body was a stressed construction rather than the sides welded or riveted onto a frame- In my mind it's more like a shell than a skin on a skeleton. But developed with an eye on the export market- hence the American stylings.

Was that part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations? -
Yeah another floaty boaty thing- excellent. PS Hope you can get the sails sorted out🤣

There's a lot more detail provided in the cab than I feared- this could well work

This is certainly correct for volume, and as somewhere in the recess of my memory is that the definition of kilogram is one cubic metre which would provide the mapping across. -
Or the 90s or paint it black? Yes I'm disappointed about the weather (but I am British) and muscle cars being so punt but i think that there's a lot more inclusive GBs than there used to be. Or maybe I'm getting more imaginative

As my co-hosting shift draws to a close over in Lesser Known Classics, this seems to be the Rosebud/ Airfix/ Dapol Classics GB! I love them, but as expecting a more diverse list of manufacturers (says he who's using Rosbud-Kitmaster as a basis) @Rob Sutto Wonderland are still doing half price Revell kits as they wait for you to place THAT order -
Build 'em all- you are @Enzo the Magnificent in disguise and I would claim my prize but I'm scared about what it is.😱

Are you suggesting threesomes, foursomes and moresomes😱 I thought this was a family-friendly website🤨

Progress Acceptable after 3 coats. It's come out as a closer match in the photo that it is to my eye in the 'plastic' which is a bit more plum to my mind.
