Can confirm all of the above comments. I've bought from Gunpowder several times recently and have been VERY happy with each occasion.
Deal with him with absolute confidence.
Cheers.
Chris.

Hello.
Does anyone have the above that they are willing to sell? I'm in the UK.
Thanks.

There's an old photographer's saying:
"The sharpest lens you can buy is a good tripod".
Hope you enjoy using your new one.
Cheers.

I'm honestly surprised nobody has attempted a scale model of the Stealth Black Hawk yet?
IIRC, Italeri have produced a 1/72nd version.

Odd and VERY graphic, in places. Says some interesting things about the man/woman power dynamic. Looks really good.
What say ye?

Throwing another one into the mix...... Akira. Possibly the best animated film I've clapped eyes on.
Allegedly, Taika Waititi was going to make a live-action version of it, but that has gone very quiet indeed (probably because it would need a $500 Million budget to really do it justice - not impossible, given that Disney apparently spent nearly that much on "Solo: A Star Wars Story", when you include the cost of the re-shoots).
Cheers.
Chris.

No one has mentioned the original Star Trek Movies.
The first one was one of the most self-important, dull, poorly-written, turgid movies I've ever seen. A 45-minute story, stretched into a two-and-a-half-hour film. AWFUL.
Two, three and four were good, space-opera romps and worth the effort.
Five............I've been in therapy ever since and it still gives me nightmares. Utter bilge.
The rest of the flock? Range from watchable to just embarrassing.

That one with the space sanctuary in orbit & aliens living in shanty town
I think we might be getting our Neil Blomkampf films mixed up here. The first part sounds like "Elysium" and the second part sounds like "District 9". Both worth a watch, although District 9 is the better movie, IMHO.
Cheers.

Just to be the contrarian here, folks should check out a 1970's (?) sci-fi parody called "Big Meat Eater". Made on a budget of around 10 Dollars, but the script is super-sharp and very ironic. They certainly don't make them like that, anymore...
Only issue with this one? It is VERY difficult to find these days. I saw it for sale on E-Bay recently and an ex-rental VHS copy (remember those?) was going for a mere £80! I've never seen it on any streaming service.
If you like weird, low-budget, made-with-real-love movies, this one's a genuine gem.
Cheers.
Chris.
PS: Solaris and Stalker? Regularly upheld as two of the top Sci-Fi films of all time.... I just don't get Tarkovsky's way of telling a story. And I doubt I ever will, to be honest. Really not my cup-of-tea.
Just as an aside, it's reckoned that filming next to the heavily-polluted river in Stalker might have given a lot of the crew cancer, including Tarkovsky himself.

This looks a lot like a Danish film available on-line, called "The Bombardment" (for English-speaking markets).
Cheers.

Sure, you won't be liking the White Pudding then....
When you eat a steak (or similar meat), a percentage of your consumption is blood. Is black/white pudding radically different from that? Personally, I think not.
Just my two penneth.

You know, many years ago, I used to order Tamiya TS sprays (aerosol) from Hobbylink Japan and they would ship via airmail without issue. Now you can't sent any paints via Royal Mail via road. It's total rubbish.
176.9% agree with this! When the paints are imported to the UK, they will travel from a dock or airport in a ROAD-GOING lorry. Why is it considered safe for commercial-freight services to move the paint, but not for Royal Mail? This whole situation absolutely reeks of "Official Convenient Excuse Syndrome" to me.... I'm willing to bet that RM can afford the best transport-insurance going.
I will now brace myself for a load of respondents telling me I have no idea what I'm talking about (which I don't, but that's not the point!).
Cheers.
Chris.

Ketchup - still the best condiment to add to most meats, bar none!
Anyone who tells you different is a foolish purveyor of "foreign" ideas....
PLEASE do not take these comments seriously, folks. Said entirely in jest....
Cheers.

Keep a close eye on the 'forecast for Sunday, folks. This show is entirely outdoors and if it's too wet on the day, it might get cancelled.
Fingers crossed for decent weather!
