Bottle of Laphroaig, a case of Argentinian malbec, and James Holland's new book Normandy '44. Should keep me busy, if not sober, for at least a couple of weeks!

Hi Alex.

Which Laphroaig?.
I have tried the Select and the 10 year old.

Good thread
Just a little plastic for me


And reference books to start a new Avenue for me with aeroplanes!



So far a good Christmas, spent quietly with family and doing lots of physio to get my new knee to settle down.

Hi Ralph, it's the Select but I haven't opened it yet. Been steadily working my way through the Malbec!

Christmas is over and I'm tired of waiting for Santa, so I guess I wasn't very good this year,


I got nada, nix, nuthin' at all...……..My son did bring this by though,


A nice MP3 player with great sound and will take up to a 128GB mini SD card. Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!

Prost and on Santa's Sh?t list (I think)

My partner, Aileen, bought me a little model for Christmas - the HobbyBoss 1/72 German 80cm K(E) Railway Gun 'Dora' (82911):


In addition to the Dora, my other Christmas presents were aftershave, Cheese & Chutney set, a book on the making of the film "Moon", Cinema tickets, bodywash set, a shirt, a fleece, an Airfix Spitfire tin of biscuits, a jigsaw of Iceland, some wine gums, a pen and a calendar.

It is my birthday today as well and she bought me an EBBRO 1/20 Lotus Type 49 (1967) (EBB4) :


At least one of these two models will take quite a bit of time to build - and take up a lot of space when it is finished!

I still haven't opened my birthday presents yet so I am not sure if any other modelling items will appear.

BTW, Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Dave

[Allen Dewire]

Well Happy Birthday Dave and many more to come!!! Love the Dora too...…...Maybe I'll get lucky next year and Happy New Year to you both!!!

[davecov]

Thank you lads. No doubt when I build the Dora (and the Lotus for that matter) I will provide a narrative of their builds.

BTW, I also have the HobbyBoss 1/72 'Leopold' Railway Gun and Morser Karl-Geraet kits in my stash to accompany the Dora. Heaven knows where they will all go when they are eventually completed!

Well Dave cant you put up some more shelfs as that's what im gonna do for my big airplane kits THAT IS WHEN I build them :smiling2:
chris

[davecov]

My little cottage has nowhere left for new shelving, Chris, as I have two big vices besides modelling - DVDs and books!

Airfix will be helping me out with my storage problem in the New Year though. They will be taking my built Airfix kits and giving them a new home at the Hornby Visitor Centre in Margate. That should free up some space but probably not enough for all of my future needs!

Dave

[boatman]

WELL that's good of them an it show's off your topnotch builds Dave you are very lucky an yea we have hundreds of dvd films an in my model room quite a few paperbacks ps any chance of some pics of your airfix builds ?
chris

[davecov]

I won't pollute this thread with pictures but I may knock up a thread somewhere, sometime! However, here are some links to examples of my builds as a taster for you, Chris:
Airfix 1/48 Seafire, Airfix 1/32 M3 Grant, Airfix 1/12 Bentley, Airfix 1/48 BAE Warrior, Airfix 1/144 Comet 4B, Airfix 1/600 Prinz Eugen, Airfix 1/350 HMS Daring
