Oh wow - I remember the classic Airfix GB from a few years back - the most fun I've ever had without waking up in a police cell. Go for it boys & girls.

I popped along here expecting to see many more posts - or did I miss another thread?
Anyway I thought it was a wonderful day - all done by 3pm so far from overly long & brilliantly executed by all those who participated.
It was a shame about the fly past - I watched as a host of aircraft gathered over Norfolk & the North Sea - tankers / freighters / trainers / fighters. But it is Britain & the weather won in the end.
May God bless their Majesties & keep them safe.
Happy weekend & bank holiday for tomorrow - Steve

Thomas Dolby too. Loved his early work
I have to admit to being a big Thomas Dolby fan too - "The Golden Age of Wireless" is a classic.
I also love both Japan & David Sylvian's work in equal measure. My favourite Sylvian albums are Brilliant Trees & the Secrets of The Beehive - a very talented man. I saw him live a few years back at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester - a wonderful evening.

Saw that last night. Sad news. He used to do stuff with David Sylvian too.
Ha Ha - I "knew" you would be a fan of Japan
Good man!!!

Sadly - news of the death of Ryuichi Sakamoto is just breaking. He was well known for his work with Yellow Magic Orchestra & David Sylvian of Japan. His work in film was also well known - especially from the movie - Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. Rest in piece sir.

Oh Steve - That is so sad, but you loved him like a son.
I am sure the whole community will feel your loss & share your grief.
Farewell Patch - Godspeed lad.

...it gets worse - kind of...
Apparently Frey Bentos pies WERE only a quid at Sainsburys - but now they are £3.25 - check the link to this completely worthless story
it's madness I tell you.

Frey Bentos Pies have increased from £2 to £3 at Tesco. I don't eat Frey Bentos Pies or shop at Tesco - I just thought I'd mention it as a 2023 price increase

Well the news just popped up - the amazing Vivienne Westwood has slipped off this mortal coil. I am 100% sure she would raise an eyebrow & smile at some old blokes on a model making forum singing her praises - but Madame X has a wardrobe full of her stuff & guess who paid for most of it.
Sleep well Viv - you were a very special star.

...About half an hour ago - a certain RAF Globemaster ZZ177 - carrying a very special lady...
I was watching on Flightradar24 & she was heading due south when just north of Manchester she altered course to fly more or less directly over "town". From up here on the hills to the east of Manchester Madame X & I got a really good view as the cloud cover was very high.
God Bless you Ma'am & God Save The King

@TIGER HOBBIESLIMITED - glad you changed the thread title
...here is the offending piece of plastic...
...in all it's wavy & dull glory
...
...basically it is a PERFECT RENDITION of what it is trying to portray - a canvas door covering with acetate "windows".
I hope someone points this out to the poor feckwit youtube star

OMG!!! I am assuming the said youtube superstar is talking about this window section...
...having 20k followers is no guarantee that you know what your talking about I suppose
BTW - I would change the name of your thread title - it doesn't do you any favours to the "casual browser"
