  1. I reckon I would have left it two inches shallower…
  2. If I may join too? I built this aircraft using the Airfix FG1 kit when it was first released. Can’t wait to see it fine properly!
  3. Could be worse, could be using ‘like’…
  4. Having a lie in on the first morning of 10 days leave and knowing that my boss is covering for me so won’t get the usual backlog of work when I return. Now, where’s the wallpaper stripper..?
  5. When I was travelling and model building in hotels, I used a large plastic storage box lined with kitchen roll as a spray box. When not in service for spraying it served to store and carry all my stuff. Never had a problem using a small compressor, either. if I recall correctly from my Uni days, the sound of a compressor will be the least of your noise worries…
  6. I am so chuffed that this will be in display in a museum. It’s just a shame we won’t get to see it at SMW before it goes. Reckon it gives me an excuse to travel to the States, though…
  7. That is just stunning. It has been an honour and a privilege to watch this build take shape.
  8. If you want to drop me a PM with a phone number I am more than happy to have a chat with you about scooters... I spent 10 years working for the MHRA testing wheelchairs and scooters and was involved in writing the ISO standards for a good few years.
  9. Try the British Commercial Vehicle Museum at Leyland - I have always found their archivists to be very helpful.
  10. Very sad news, please pass on my condolences too.
  11. I’ve used this product in our dark grey front door after a similar incident and found it to be excellent!
  12. I had one yesterday - wanted to take control of my laptop to correct some problem or other. Told him where he could stick the laptop. Unfortunately, I got a call from my boss about 15 minutes later to tell me he had received a complaint from our IT department...oh how we laughed!
  13. Er, hold the good ideas - he has got to do the wings, engines and undercarriage first, eh @Fozzy??
  14. Sorry - as ever I am a bit slow with my comments. BB has made a fantastic model and I love the backstory. You should both be really proud and I hope the comments on here go a long way to addressing the disappointment of not entering the competition.
  15. That is amazing. The only way I can tell it apart from the screenshots of the film is the lack of paint on the falcon!
  16. I agree with the posters above - the decision stinks. However both you and BB should be proud of the model you have produced. Rather than worrying about a local model show, I think you should both bask in the worldwide recognition you get via this website.
  17. Woohoo - he's off again! And this time I promise to try not to mention lights and sound modules...
