Recommended Posts


Well 2023 has been a year of changes for me. Semi retirement - started doing historical talks for the U3A on WW2 and the sadness of losing our lovely cat Richard.
So not a prodigious modelling output for this year. Hope you enjoy the yearbook .Seasons Greetings to one and all!

Andy

Thank you for the appreciation! yes i enjoyed the Fortress build .. a bit different to do it in RAF colours as well! 

Thank You .. Yes Richard was a delightful cat. A real character indeed.  Sadly missed but some great memories and he had a fantastic life with us!

Great work on these fantastic models Andy,  they look awesome.   Sorry to hear about Richard too, such a shame when our beloved pets leave us.  He does look like a character in that photo.

Hope you can have a Merry Christmas fella

Chris

Nice builds and thank you for sharing. Sorry to hear about your building buddy Richard.

Thank Billy. I can see you're a 'cat ' person from your profile picture! Richard was a great companion. We miss him though not his hair settling on a newly sprayed model! lol. So lucky to have had him as a family member!
