Are the display shelves for the shelf queens? :whistle:

 

Let those who are free of Shelf Queens and have no shelves/boxes of Doom cast the first stone! 

 

...anyway an't you lot meant to be building models rather than just hanging around make the place look untidy? 

 

What kind of exercise do lazy people do ?

Diddly-squats

 

German lorry driver sat in Liverpool bar mouthing off about how lazy the British are...

He says 'I drive my truck from Hamburg to Liverpool via Holland/Belgium over to the UK and up to Liverpool, drops his load off and back to Hamburg in under 2 days.

Drunk old scouse man can't help but hear him and mutters 'F*** off lad, I used to pick my load up in Liverpool, drop it off in Hamburg and make it back to Liverpool the same day!'

German man, gives a sarcastic laugh and replies 'Oh yeah old man, what rig were you driving?'

Old fella replies 'a f***ing Lancaster Bomber!!'

Oh no, @trickyrich has mentioned the war,

 

Listen, don't
mention the war.

I mentioned it once,

but I think I got away
with it all right.

So, it's all
forgotten now

and let's hear
no more about it.

So, two eggs mayonnaise,
a prawn goebbels,

a herman goering,
and four colditz salads.

Wait a moment, I got
a bit confused here.

I got a bit confused

'cause everyone's
mentioning the war.

So, could you...
what's the matter?

It's all right.

Is there
something wrong?

Will you stop
talking about the war?

Me? You started it!

We did not start it.

Yes, you did,
you invaded Poland.
 

Classic Faulty Towers, and surprisingly the most popular episode in Germany.

well the big move is Friday!!! :yahoo:.....though I'll be more like :zombie: at the end of it!

 

In the meantime I have been busy setting up the new dungeon with a window.......I now have shelves!!!

I have to admit putting these up was very stressful, the sheer weight of the glass meant I needed to screw the uprights to wall studs, not the easiest of tasks....

 

One car load of models later..

That’s a great demonstration of what shelves are for. You will have loads of room if you just display the ones you have built and give all those back to the neighbours kid :rofl::whistle:

I am slight concerned about the need to display your scrunched up bit of tissue, I make Little H use a bin. :rofl:

haha.... and no one yet has noticed the "Shelf Queens" on the top shelf! :D

 

There's still some serious sorting out to do yet when the rest show up!

 

Plus there's a new addition the the stash as well..........I've mentioned way tooo many time how rigging scares the :poop: out of me!! So in a fit of madness/insanity I bought a Wingnut Wings Gotha G.1!!!!!! It's monstrous (27"+ wingspan) and a rigging nightmare........think I need a bigger shelf!!!

I think both are equally bad.

But bless him for not being able to contain his excitement at his new play room/dungeon, just lucky he had a handy supply of tissue.

I so nearly wrote something along the same lines with his tissue. 

Lets just hope he had the one way glass in the right way.

Nice shelving Rich :) I take it they're suitably reinforced to take the weight of all that resin? :redx:

I was actually more worried that the wall could take the weight!! Those glass shelves are heavy!!

 

Arrr yes the poor old Su-24..... little of the original Trumpy pile of :poop: remain, complete front and rear are new resin. She's actually primered and ready for painting, I just need to make the digital masks for her on my cutting machine.

If you want to wear drag on Sunday that is entirely up to you.

Especially as you have that one way glass installed.

Have you noticed you never see Rich and Dame Edna Everage in the same place at the same time ?:hmmm:

And he spent most of the bum fight telling us not to call him Shirley! Here we were thinking it was “Airplane” quotes, when all along he was worried about revealing his new alter ego Shirley Everage, disgraced daughter of Dame Edna after the great tissue incident.
