I bought some new Fender guitar strings.

I'm reading a PD James anthology and very good (and well written) it is too.

I think Amazon have had so much flak for the amount of packaging they use over time that they seem to have gone to the other extreme now.

Ah, it's a roasted neck! You omitted that in your original post. Enjoy it!

I agree. Definitely a nostalgic look, almost like looking at an antique.

Lovely guitar - but over £800? GAK and others have that model for £619. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-player-telecaster-blackguard-maple-neck?gclid=Cj0KCQjw-JyUBhCuARIsANUqQ_KtQT3FyniIY-2VfWJgp5afhuXCWupH2h9mOfqdYpwLbSd3c5kEI74aAgGLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Wonderful job!

Beautiful work Steve.

A new guitar stand for my Fender Strat.

I had that trouble on a Dragon 1/24 Spitfire VB. I painted up all the guns and ammo in the wings nicely but when I added the covers they were such a tight fit I never saw the guns again! Wish I'd never bothered.

Exactly how I feel. It's nice to look at completed models for a few weeks. After that I usually give them to my Grandsons to play with, i.e "dispose of". They are dust traps and take up a good bit of space.

To be honest I have found many undercarriages are spindly and poorly fitting on a variety of models. Some I have ripped off entirely and made into flying versions!

What a beautiful job. I love a Beaufighter and yours looks amazing!

Painting canopies. But lately I'm beginning to tire of the whole thing TBH. I've run out of space to display them on my gig room bookcase which is putting me off buying any more.

Don't worry about it. I don't. It's just a bit of fun for me amongst other slightly more creative hobbies I have.
