I would say it depends very much on the mediums you intend using. Admittedly no particles are good if inhaled, but some are downright dangerous. Maybe say what you will be spraying and then better advice can be given as to what might be the safe minimum requirement.

HP sauce is a fine condiment, love it on bacon and sausage sarnies. Now lets really get the taste buds going with fare from my neck of the woods in the East End I give you pie, mash and liquor and often available in the same eaterie jellied eels. Food of the gods, I used to buy the live eels and take them home for ma to deal with.

One important factor is to look after yourself. No good to anyone if you are in a bad way, maybe get an asthma review to make sure its well controlled. Also make sure you are looking after yourself from a mental health angle, reason things through rather than panic. Don't expect lots of care worker visits for domestic/everyday tasks when they know someone can be there to do it. My sister in law had a debilitating stroke and can't say i've been very impressed with the help offered. My ageing brother in law is there so they consider that as having a carer even though he isn't that great healthwise. Hope all goes well, not an easy task and some find it easier than others. My old ma I thought was getting the early stages of dementia so we began thinking about how to proceed, Then at 88 she was killed in a RTA as she crossed the road All very traumatic especially as it was captured on CCTV and I viewed it at the inquest. So when it gets hard going just remember its better than the other option

I assumed that the knob was being pulled upwards and that was when no resistance was felt. Didn't say it was new and also assumed it had worked properly in the past.

Sounds like you need a new regulator, thankfully easy to change and cheap to buy.

I saw the actress Linda Cardellini who played the nurse Sam recently in Hawkeye. She didn't look much different either, must be a time warp in ER

I think the figures are some of the most lifelike I've seen. So often its the figures that let a great diorama or model down. Very nice and can see why you rate it as your best effort

Wrap the whole haggis in tin foil and place in an ovenproof dish with about an inch of water. Cover and cook for 60-80 mins at 180c then it should be ready to split open. I have mine with mashed potato and mashed swede rather than the traditional turnip.

I partake in a Haggis for dinner on Burns night in honour of my paternal Scottish grandparents. Also because I enjoy it so much, rare treat and ordered in from Rendalls of Stirling. Admittedly along with a fair few of their scotch pies and bridies, have to make the order worthwhile.

Look forward to seeing the Lisbon and London trams, interested in that diorama base too. Interested to know how the Berlin one is going too, any pitfalls encountered yet? Just too much going on for me to think about and these models certainly require a high degree of concentration. Got all the bits ready for the next stage, so when things are right I can crack on.

More impressed with his sidekick Fennec Shand, looking good at 58

Dortmunder Union, not heard of that for a few years. Last time I drunk that was in a small bar in Aachen, only went in because they had a sign for Union outside. B of E isn't a very posh place, just like a cash and carry behind a garage, easy to miss the turning. Get a trolley and off you go filling it up then to the checkout. They do supply boxes, but sometimes try and jam as much as they can in each one so maybe take additional storage just in case.

The warehouse behind the garage on the A10. Oh yes that has been visited, last occasion I snapped up their stock of De Koninck Bolleke 330ml I have a stash of a slightly different kind, diminishes fairly quickly though i'm sorry to say

How are you Tram builders getting on, further progress on mine is still stalled for aforementioned reasons. My daughter got me another one as a birthday present, did tell her not to expect seeing it finished anytime soon.

Havent seen this weeks episode yet, to be honest found it all a bit boring. The second episode was ok, seemed longer to me, havent checked to see if it was. Not sure I'll carry on with it, one of those things I wont worry if its missed.

Watched this series before Christmas, think it was on Now TV. Good acting from all of the cast, but Kate Winslet was superb, probably will be her best ever performance. I don't usually use superlatives about TV shows, but this was a rare treat amongst so much dross. Found it similar in a way to the film Fargo and possibly the first of the later Fargo series. All of the above also well worth watching too if you enjoy that sort of black comedy tinged gritty drama.

One of my favourites from a British actor playing a villain was the late Alan Rickman in Die Hard.

If there are no discernible markings a set of Vernier calipers might be the way to go. At least that would identify the needle sizes and you can judge the air cap and nozzle sizes by eye. I'm assuming the push on pinch cap is a standard size, if so that shouldn't be a problem

This is my latest acquisition, present from no1 and only daughter for my Birthday. Kind gesture knowing a trip to Stuttgart was the last holiday we had planned before it was Covid cancelled. P1200062 1 by Rich

Only recently joined this forum and until then I never realised the intricacies these days of model kit building. My interest was reignited a couple of years ago when my wife bought me a model kit for Christmas. Unbeknown to her it was well outside my comfort zone of building Tamiya AFV's as a young adult. That was many moons ago back in the days of Military Modelling magazine and Humbrol Authentic range enamel. I can see from the various sections on here just how the scene has evolved especially with all the add on extra parts. The standard of kits looks to be very high although i don't recall the ones I built being that bad, long while ago though. Since my reintroduction I have gathered up some of the necessary tools of the trade and hopefully know how too. Also seem to be accumulating what I believe is commonly known as a stash, these mainly received as presents. This finally brings me to my point, why do modellers buy so much that they will never build especially with rising costs? Many on here appear to be of advancing years and projects seem to outweigh available time by quite a large ratio. If all those never to be constructed kits remained on the shelves funds would be plentiful for the ones that are really wanted. Where do all these unloved boxes end their days, charity shops or the tip when their estates are sadly dealt with? I know when my mother died unexpectedly in a RTA that I found so much that just needed clearing in limited time. From that experience I am acutely aware of leaving so much for my daughter to sort out, wife's cooking books alone will keep her occupied for long enough. Already i'm feeling inward pressure to get some of my backlog built, mildly OCD with tasks that need doing and its not a pleasure. My main hobby is photography and that has a similar buying culture referred to by the afflicted as GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) Looking at my own kit revealed lenses that would likely never be used so a thinning out process began. Some of the funds raised went towards the kit I wanted for scale modelling, a good result all round. Saying that I have found most of the merchandise which includes everything involved to be comparatively reasonably priced. From memory I recall paints, airbrushes/compressors (which I could never afford) and other bits to be quite pricey. Maybe that was from having limited funds back then or perhaps proportionately they were more expensive. All the above notwithstanding I am really enjoying the making part when I can just concentrate on that alone.

A decemt hose costs about 10 or 15 quid, so not surprised it wasn't great with an airbrush too for £22. Don't imagine the tool itself will be that clever either, 1* reviews on Amazon are probably quite accurate. Be careful when cleaning it, you could easily damage the threads and seals.

No thanks, rather keen on good quality German beers especially of the Weiss variety and no interest in drinking cheap muck. Erdinger and Krombacher are both about £1.90 per 500ml bottle, fairly priced in my opinion. 😀

Its all relative though, i've just drunk two bottles of beer that cost pennies shy of four quid. Footie match at the lowly league two team I support costs about 22 quid for 90 minutes entertainment (if i'm lucky) That's without the costs getting there and back plus other incidentals. In that light a model kit is actually quite good value when you consider the time and fun factor. I'm quite into photo printing at home and I always say it costs the sort of money you would only ever spend on a hobby.

I retired at 55 and always knew that meant money would be less plentiful. Eight years on and we are doing alright financially, in fact manage to save a few quid every month. In some ways it makes me appreciate hobby type things more now its not just a case of want it so buy it. Saying that it wouldn't be much fun to be struggling like so many working households are these days. I remember when I grew up in the East End and we were considered poor. Not nice at all and always make a point of dropping something in the foodbank box or when we shop online donate a few bob.

It should be easy enough to core drill a hole large enough for a 4 inch extractor hose. Ok you have a brick outer wall, but so does my bathroom and the extractor fan was easy enough to install there. Not sure why a builder would say it was so expensive, tool hire place would have something suitable to hire for the day. You could then build a spray booth or from all the arms and legs you saved buy a purpose made one.
