      ... but not in a sexual way, right?

      Well, you see, it has a Union Jack on the side, so it's even easier to lie back and think of England.

      Excellence. My son Skye will love this, his two favorite things. They'll likely have an article on Jumbo from my old hometown of St Thomas, Ontario.

  3. Okay you guys, I'm gonna need some help applying for this one.

      Let me know if you need a character reference. I can make up a good one.

      As Rob said, this is your destiny.

  4. Hey Troy, I apparently can't send you a PM, but I need to discuss something with you privately --  is there a way I can reach you?

  5. This is also basically the story of me and Britmodeller.

      Tears of laughter here Edward.

       

      Damn you.

       

      Now my co-workers will think I have actual feelings.

      Brilliant and I agree entirely.

       

      Except that unlike the mustard community, we are your friends :) 

       

      The only friends you need.

      What... did I just see?

      It's a dialogue from the computer game The Outer Worlds, which was created by the people who did the classic Fallout game a long time ago. And what you saw is a dedicated employee of Spacer's Choice.

      Ah, thanks mate - I actually recommended that game to my younger brother on the strength of the Grauniad's review of it... I am glad I did now :D 

       

       

  7. It boggles the mind that nobody's ever released canopy paint masks for the Revell F-16.

      In a supreme irony, this came out five days after I passed my driving test. I may or may not have had my first minor shunt on the way home from buying it...

      Aww, just an everydays story of... wait, WHAT!?! :lol:

       

       

      Cheers mate, been a while since you put a song on.

  11. Torn between the desire to do 1/700 ships and the desire not to do something that looks insanely difficult and frustrating.

      Then go for 1/350! 

      More interesting, less liliputian, and you can add some details, which is damn near impossible with 1/700 thingies!

       

      I prefer submarines to ships. Hell, why don't you try one of those?

      You should build a Procopian super-dreadnought from RTW2 in 1/700 - 12 16" gun in an all forward arrangement.

    4. Procopius

      Procopius

      Ha! That's pretty close to what I do build in RTW2! I usually go for 3x3 16" all forward.
