..start a google blog, free, easy, upload your pics and the link you get is good to go anywhere, very quick and easy

I'll have a look at that, sounds interesting.

Anyhow I've got all 3 of my 109s up in the RFI section now so it'll be a while before I'm starting another RFI.

Mitch beat me to it, I was looking forward to the muppets....

Well the builds are a form of comedy!

And this place is awash with people who could do the job of the two geezers in the box! Waccawaccawacca!

..every cloud ..and all that

I've still a lot of KUTA candidates to finish before I can start something new though

Still, mustn't grumble, lots of spare time for modelling at the moment.

3rd one finished today. Now I've a long overdue tidy up to do.

Thank you

Patrice

Totally agree.

I think that every time I turn to.

Can't beat a 'colour'ful debate to kick the hornets nest.

Murphy has a phenomenal imagination; wait and see.

Murphy has been working hand in hand with me all through these builds!

Most worrying is how did the stuff get into the cockpit in the first place? They were clean when I masked them up!

Wouldn't have got in via the wheel bays or radiator/oil cooler intakes? Guess why I'm thinking of them :-/

I'm thinking along those lines, maybe the gun ports or exhaust cut outs. I've never had this problem in 1/72, I guess the holes are too small.

.. it left a huge space on their small shelf of models for sale..

I wandered in mid-afternoon. Pity you didn't give me a shout.

As for those Fw190 - I was surprised at how small an aircraft they were so perhaps the 32nd scale kit is a good option for when your eyesight starts to fail.

I was in about 1-30 to 2pm. had lunch in the Bistro just up the road.

I've got a couple of 1/32 Bf109s and a 262 in the stash so once the eyes go I'll tackle them.

Fog stopped play!

Pity you didn't make it Duncan but can understand why - it was thick fog in places as I drove in last night so sure it was fully worse down the coast than inland.

I got a few miles but it was a real pea soup job so decided discretion was required and turned back, see you for the December meeting hopefully.

Is this one one of your 109s?

Yep, must've been some grease on the plastic as the primer let go again.

Ouch

Oof, hate it when that happens. What were you working on?

1/48 .... well take a guess, what's your most non favourite WW2 aircraft?

Sorry to read it, Duncan.

Been there, mate. Sorry to hear you're there now. Hope something crops up ... and yeah, take the time to enjoy your models.

Number one on the list of things to do is build some models. Lucky I spent all that money collecting a huge stash over the last few years.

@ FalkeEins: I'd have to speed my production up somewhat to be able to even cover costs

Cheers again chaps.

I love you guys.

Back at ya Bro! I live with two Strictly obsessed females who insist on watching bothe shows on Sat and Sun as well as the half hour one Mon to Fri. I'd rather be subjected to white noise and a KGB interrogation....

So that's your excuse for recognising the badly sung theme tune on Tuesday night is it Mark? The White noise treatment would appear to be working.

gutted that I can't attend. I have a wedding to go to. Have fun though

Definitely want to see some pics - at least those you get before dropping the camera.

Damn, I wish I had paid attention earlier, I would liked to have gone... hope you have a good one and keep a firm grip on your camera...

Nice little kits these. Currently planning one each of the "what if" versions.

The only problem I had was with the fir of the canopy. I used a tiny bit of Mr Surfacer on the joint between the elevators and the fin too but that was it.

"fit" not "fir" !

Patience! Give them time.

Was just thinking that myself.

Thanks for the thoughts but they fell off so many times during the build that they have been drilled and pinned now.

I'm happy to wait for a new one to come along, I've got loads in the stash to be getting on with!

Can it be recycled into something useful?

It's just going to be a fun build anyway, no expectations of it being a showcase build.

I too am so over this working thing. If only I were not so fixated on food and shelter.

Ahoy, Sailor!

Don't they? I've experienced a few decalsasters in my time with them.

Vallejo works Ok on AZ plastic!

Is Mister Color acrylic? If so I always use a "primer" of very thin enamel, whatever the plastic.

I'm nearing the end of the builds and masking off markings and stuff and the tape is pulling off paint and primer and that is after I've taken a lot of the stickiness off the tape.

Oh, that's a surprise. The very nice man in IT has reinstated access and apologised for the inconvenience. (he does know I'm surfing BM etc while at work doesn't he?)

That IS a surprise... I assumed they wanted all the bandwidth for their geek blogs.
