Perhaps we have a mysterious aura that attracts women? Maybe the mods could bottle and sell "Eau de Brittmodeller" Good idea but who's going to model it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it does keep all other humans away too. Cheers, Moggy the Stinky cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Last week I discovered some snobbery in local modelling here in N.I. There is a chap who displays 1/35 armour at model railway shows. My club needs to get some new members and I found that one of our current members sort-of knows this chap as he's in one of the model railway clubs I asked our club member to get in touch with the armour modeller and encourage him to join our club, which costs nowt Reply came back 'No way, You lot only build little aeroplanes and not very well either' ~~ If its a model kit we have members who will build it whether it be plastic, resin, card, white-metal et cetera. And several of our club members have won awards for their builds and one member even has vignettes and large dioramas in museums in Europe and Australia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moggy Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 A LOONG time ago I built what amounted to a miniature railgun 😜 I had to take it apart since it worked all too well - one steel dart went through a door.... 🤪 (I was "rusticated" for two days - the event took place during a Physics lesson. However I got top marks for my little "accelerator") I can rebuild it and use it on his little tonks - ultramodern tank-killer! It fits well with the model railway ethics - it has to move AND be in miniature 🤣 Cheers, Moggy the mad professor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Williams Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Cat flap? Isn't that what a dyslexic Yorkshireman wears on his head? Simon, after a few Vocation (Hebden Bridge's finest) stouts. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
