modelman182 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I came home with this today. No idea what made me buy it - or where I can put it?   The damn thing is over 2 and a half feet long. But MAN, is there some potential there!  Ah well - I guess... build it, detail it, paint it and THEN wonder what the hell to do with it... 😚  La, la la... I'm not crazy... No, I'm not... hee hee hee...  Kev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Children! Â Both of you have shown that neither of you can be trusted with such an item. I think I should have it for safekeeping. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hope you have wall space for a big shelf and an understanding lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelman182 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 ha ha ha... nice try, Truro MB - but I'm still keeping it! 😉  Mackem01 - no shelf space, no wall space for a new shelf, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Fortunately, no lady (understanding or otherwise) which makes it easy to get new models into the house, but leaves me with no more idea what to do with them after that! Mind you - I think I could fit it with lights and it would make a fairly substantial chandelier. Then hang it from the ceiling as a 'conversation piece'? Whaddy'all think? 😄  Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens I was given a 1/24 Harrier, which will appear as a pre production machine. So I have saved myself £100 and the trouble of having to hunt you down!

Oops, no... you can't be... cos I go past the church BEFORE I get to the Garden Centre. 😊  1 hour ago, bentwaters81tfw said: An acceptable proposition.

I remember building my first 24th scale Harrier whilst stationed at Lossiemouth in '74. At the time I thought it was a big bugger. This is the first time in a while that I've had that same sense of awesomeness from something that's, after all, "only a model" hee hee...  Gotta love BIG aircraft! I now have a nice collection of biggies. And, of course, not enough time or space to build them all, yet! LOL! Two more years of working for a living then I can quietly retire and get down to some serious modelling. Bliss!  Kev   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Bunker Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I have alway found that once a model is built, I can always find a space somewhere for it on a shelf, even if it does mean re-organising and dusting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
