They probably just cost more than ours....

    So it is now bread and water for the rest of the year, a tin of soup behind a picture of a Xmas dinner....

Now back to using fingers to place the grass and turn the base upside down for a minute or two so the grass goes verticle - sounds long-winded but once you get going it takes as much time as messing about with the dispenser.
        And beware of the cheap ones - did not earth it right and got a jolt up the arm - still it got the heart working again.....
        Oh, you earthed it right buddy….you just managed to touch both poles at once…..if you’d held a lightbulb in your teeth you could’ve got it to light up LOL…..

          I was lucky enough to work on one of the preserved Deltics for over 10 years, even had a drive

                      I’ve been thinking that maybe I should put a rack somewhere to store my collection of old-and-not-going-to-be-built kits, which most likely will include the Accurate Armour ones I have

                        Good afternoon all

                        So I went with my club to a show in Letchworth yesterday (less than an hour from home), had a great time and end up coming back with this haul.

                        I needed some new steel rules, hence them.

                        The Harrier was yet another lucky-dip win....that's three in only two shows!!

                        And I was practically forced to buy the Tempest V. It was for charity and so it would have been most impolite not to support them!

                        As many UK members will know, there is a UK charity that keeps the only flying Bristol Blenheim in the world in the air (blenheimsociety.com/). They have a second-hand/nearly new kit stall that goes to many of the shows and our club secretary always buys a kit to support them. I decided to do the same and in the end plumped for the Tempest.

                        It’s a 2022 tooling, so brand new and so should be good. As you can see it was only £10 and the next cheapest I could find online delivered was for £12…..so a win for me as well as the charity!!
