    I went to a friend's wedding at the weekend. It was a fairytale wedding. I turned up at the reception dressed in a black cloak and cursed their firstborn. You just can't please some people.

    I didn't have problems when I built mine, but like a lot of modern Airfix kits, the fit tolerances are very fine so make sure you don't have paint on the join surfaces - even that can be thick enough to throw off the fit. I built mine as The Navy version (from the film Hot SHots) - nice to see the people at Airfix have a sense of humour.

    The Hitch Hiker's Guide has this to say about the Daleks. Stay away. Really, stay away. No, honestly, just stay away. They're horrible. Nice builds there though. And I'd never even thought there would be left plungers...

    There was a city in Russia that was named after the Beatles. It was called Lennongrad.

    THUD! That was the sound of my jaw dropping. You may have inspired me to start my Eagle now. At least I know where to look for references now, even with one of the original studio models residing a couple of streets away from me.

    Oooh. Nice. I've still not built my first Eagle, but I now "need" one of these.

    It's looking good so far. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at a show some time in the (not too near) future.

    The last episode was confusing. I was so glad I'd recorded it - it meant that I watched the majority of it at double speed, so at least I didn't have to suffer for a whole hour.

    Looking good but.... WHERE'S THE RUM?!?!?!???
  10. TonyG
    Wow!!! That is very, VERY impressive. And you're still the King of Cotton Wool modelling.
  11. TonyG
    Wow! Very impressive.

    Well done on the gold medal. I'm aiming to finally start mine as my 'Christmas Hols Project' although i suspect it will be waaay after Christmas by the time it's finished (based on my current rate of construction it's likely to be finished by New Year....2021).

    I really want to see this with Great Ctulhu alongside... but sadly I won't make it to Telford this year on account I'll be in Dublin cheering on a few friends.

    I picked up one of the 'Porsche'-turreted versions at the Southwell show recently. I'm looking forward to building it (maybe it'll be a Christmas project). I'm also thinking of getting a second one to do as a cutaway version.
  15. TonyG
    You could always display it with Great Cthulhu wading towards it...

    Very nice. I've got one somewhere waiting to be built (along with the Delta Integrale). And they still look and sound fantastic in the flesh - there were a few going round the circuit at Castle Combe Rally Day last Saturday.

    Nooooo.... I feel like I'm going to have to start mine now, and there's a few others that I should finish off before I start yet another kit.

    You've obviously not tired of girderwork after putting the Eagle together. Interesting model, but lighting it?

    Anyone fancy a day trip to Innsmouth?

    Live Long and Prosper - oh, hang on...
  21. TonyG
    Okay, after seeing this I no longer want one of these..... .... I NEED one! Cracking work, by the way. Will it be ready for Smallspace?

    Take care with the Apollo service module - it's not easy to get everything straight and true (I'll do better on my second attempt with the one in the Apollo 11). IIRC some of the parts are also numbered differntly in the instructions as to what they are on the sprues.

    Nice Lee. Rob, if it's the same as the Academy Grant, it should have a full interior - don't think it's got an engine iirc (but it is a while since last opened the box and fondled the plastic)

    This has to be one of the most entertaining build threads since Martin Hale's Haunebu. Keep it up, I'm loving the stories.
  25. TonyG
    Always loved the Delta too. I did build one of these many years ago and I've still got one of the rally versions to do - Repsol version. I never got ot own one of these, closest I got was one of the old Delta HF turbos. Cracking car, IMO far better than the Escorts and Astras that were around at the same time.
