Keith I was a little older when I discovered it ( late to the party, as usual ) and used to drink it with unsweetened grapefruit juice, went down like a soft drink but still took the top of your head off. Another favourite was the Harvey Wallbanger, haven’t had one of those for years but still have the occasional Southern comfort and grapefruit.

jackroadkill Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I bought a waaaay cheap airbrush from EBay and although the action is a bit, um, agricultural, it actually paints quite well. Certainly better than you'd guess at for nineteen quid, that's for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I bought an Academy 1/32nd F/A-18C at the Sywell show a coupla weeks ago. I'm really in two minds about keeping it. It's a superb kit, but I'm not sure if it "floats-my-boat" enough to keep it. Time will tell on that one.... Chris. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hoi, @Vince1159 & @fatfingers, I happen to like San Mig, least I would if I could get it , could be memory playing tricks I 'spose darn sight better than fanta anyway. l bought a Tamiya 1/24 Nissan 300 ZX from Hobbysearch 1999.co.jp last night, a fit of nostalgia, I used to lust after them a lot, a very underrated & practical form of rapid transit.

alt-92 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Custom white-printed decal sheet came in today. Yay And while on the subject of printing: new printer is about to be delivered later today. That means the rest of the needed decals I can do myself again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't dream of mixing them though! On a similar note I was just browsing a craft brewery's website and they do organic fruit beers - cherry, apricot, strawberry and raspberry - I have to say the very thought of them makes me feel a bit queasy. Suppose I should try them and see but wasn't prepared to spend £32 on a box of 12 for 11 of them to go down the drain....!! 🤣 Keith 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You & me both, craft beers should be beer, with hops, not alcoholic cordial. 1 hour ago, fatfingers said: I recall the best beer i had out there was called Waikato along with Export Gold. Hopefully we could tempt you with some better brews now, but Lion Red, unbelievably, it still has its adherents. Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 AIM's 1/48 Link Trainer. I was pining for this when it was first released and finally caved a few weeks ago... I blame Big H for this! They had a used seatbelt set at a good price. This as well as several other items were needed to assemble a package worth sending. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says 1:48 in yellow underneath the title of “WWII Link Trainer”. However in script below that it says 1/72 scale ? Im guessing its a typo on the packaging because the bits look to big to be 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 A couple of phaser guitar pedals that I built for myself. Both are finally completed. The red one is a clone of the Lovetone Doppelganger, a long out of production pedal that commands eye-watering prices on the second-hand market. I bought a circuit board for this project, being somewhat complicated. I have mixed feelings about both the circuit board and the effect itself. The PCB could have been laid out much better and with some care and thought, would have fitted into a smaller enclosure. I didn't like the way the knobs were all crammed together in particular. As for the effect itself, I've heard better phasers, to be honest. It does do a very good Univibe impression though. Being equipped with two LFOs is very useful, if you have separate depth controls for each one (as on the MuTron Biphase). Anyway, it's not the One Phaser To Rule Them All that has been claimed. The other is one I built from scratch on stripboard. It's a very highly modified clone of the Ross Phaser. The original has just two controls (rate and recycle) and I've added lots more, including an extra, switchable 4 phase-shift stages. I like this one a lot and am happy with how it turned out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
