Alfisti,
it is now firmly in my list of shows to go to, and I haven't come away from it without buying quite a few kits and also bits and pieces (tools, paints, etc.)
Its a good job SWMBO doesn't look at these forums,she thinks I have enough 'rubbish/loft insulation' as it is!😮😂😂😂
Thanks for the info Whofan.

Latest scam concerning motorists.Insurance companies have gotten wise to 'crash for cash' scams,so the criminals/lowlifes have come up with a new way to target unsuspecting drivers. A gang member hides inbetween parked cars,when a car passes,they throw something at the passing car that creates a noise.The unsuspecting driver thinks he has hit a stationary car. Other gang members are in a car following the unsuspecting driver,and then flash their lights/sound horn and gesticulate for the victim to pull over.They point to a wing mirror hanging loose on their vehicle and possibly other damage.They state they would rather not go through the insurance,and ask for cash,usually approx £200.Victims have been known to drive to an ATM to withdraw cash to pay these 'scutters'.They put pressure on the victim to pay,but the advice is to take photo's/video's of the damage and the crims(they don't like their picture taken for obvious reasons!).If in any doubt as to the validity of their claim,you feel pressurised,call the police.Apparently they are targeting young drivers who are frightened of going to their insurance company for fear of bumping their premiums up.They are also targeting the older generation hoping to confuse.
Take care out there,stay calm...............Dave.

I still take Scale Aircraft Modelling and Airfix Modelworld,both very good content IMHO.I also subscribe to Scale Modelling Now,an online modelling site which boasts a wealth of info for modelling aircraft amongst other subjects,with quite an extensive walkaround librarywhich for £15.00 per year represents excellent value for money.

COPD suffers
in Chat
I find that trimming the butterfly tree can really irritate and incur a reaction with my COPD.Everything else,including enamal and thinner fumes don't affect me,(no mask,love the smell!)reactions are down to the individual,and possibly the severity of the problem.I do find that I cannot walk as fast I was once able too,and if I walk into town,a distance of 2 kilometres,I have to have a few minutes respite approx half way through the journey.

Ah yes,Omni magazine,it was very good.I bought an issue in 1979 to read on a bus journey up to Sheffield and there was an illustrated article on Gigers Alien. Remember the Trigan Empire,but,IIRC I used to read it in Eagle,I may be mistaken,as I used to have The Eagle and Look and Learn in my younger days.

Hi Nenad,great build progress.I'd be a little cautious in placing the stowage on the front glacis plate,it looks like it may be impairing the drivers vision slot.

We have had to leave him at the centre for a couple of days so they can assess his injury and treat him accordingly.Through habit,SWMBO left out some hedgepig food last night,lo and behold,we have another hedgepig visitor.🦔🦔🦔🙂

We have been in contact with a wild life rescue center in Nuneaton that will tend to the injured hedgehog.🦔🦔🦔🙂
