I think Model Shed was the one near Ilminster. If it is, I also think it closed last year….. Small world again….my daughter had two birthday parties, and spent a day as a keeper, at Cricket St Thomas zoo when she was little. Fantastic place, feeding the Lemurs and Tapirs was a great...- Tim Marlow

No model shops in Yeovil now that I know of. Living near Bruton we have two within a short distance of. Frome model centre is OK, though not as good as it was a few years ago. The other one is Manns Model Moments in Wincanton. It’s a small shop but is very well stocked and well worth a visit...- Tim Marlow

Sounds like Jarvis way was the road. Our bass player lives down there towards the end, and our sax player lives just outside on the Sturminster road. I’m a bit further North just to the right of Bruton. Moved here just before Covid. I had my first Covid vax in the Haynes museum. Not sure...- Tim Marlow

Scotties Sd.Kfz.7/1
Looking excellent Scottie. Well up to your usual standards. As to working leaf springs, I used to use sprung chassis on my railway stuff years ago. Best material is nickel silver. Springy enough to do the job, and far easier to work than spring steel. You can buy it pre cut in various...- Tim Marlow

Brian's Sovereign of the seas
Which it will be ready when it’s ready….says preserved Killick. Absolutely Love it, especially the players. If you want crew figures, 28mm lads will be just the ticket.- Tim Marlow

She's airborne
Looks good. Got a great kids bedroom vibe going on there. Not sure I’d trust the hook though. The adhesive may well be fine, but the artex underneath it could come off….. I’d go for a cup hook into a plasterboard rawlplug myself…..- Tim Marlow

I think you’d recognise the majority of our set going by that resume and list. We do “You don’t love me” off of Hard road by Mayall, and “Brown sugar” by the stones, for example. We are very much a blues unit made up of very experienced players (read “old” there if you want 😂) doing this for...- Tim Marlow

Central Heating
When I moved into mine seven years ago it didn’t even have a thermostat. The previous owners just used to turn the heating on and off…..I looked for one for a couple of days before I contacted them to ask the question…..- Tim Marlow

Central Heating
I supplement our main sitting room with a log burner Dave. It’s incredibly efficient and can heat the room for an evening on a handful of logs. We actually have log burners in both the sitting and dining rooms as winter power cuts are not unknown, but the dining room one is older, so less...- Tim Marlow

Central Heating
Just turned it on now. Goes on for two hours in the morning and four hours in the evening initially. Mostly for my benefit as I have RA and am on blood thinners so feel the cold badly. Mind you, with the current price of heating oil it may have to stay on that setting for longer than usual ...- Tim Marlow

Movie night
Last film we watched was”Hungry”. About a rampant hippo in the Everglades. Absolutely awful….beyond laughably awful if I’m honest, but it passed an hour or two. Kept hearing Del Boy whispering his film idea “there’s a rhino loose in the city” 😂😂 I like those old B and W noir films myself...- Tim Marlow

Kc 135 stratotanker
Best way to do that is ask around here Chris. Most kits have been built by someone, so any feedback should be useful. As to sprue goo, never seen the point myself. Unless you have a cheap source of the glue used in its manufacture it’s just as cheap to buy the commercial fillers. In...- Tim Marlow

Kc 135 stratotanker
Kaci, a lot of the issues you are getting here are due this being a poor kit that is fighting back. The wing and fuselage fit in particular are quite poor. A hint if I may. Old fashioned stretched sprue can be useful on wing joints. It glues in as well as kit parts, but adds to the structural...- Tim Marlow

Brian's Sovereign of the seas
Wow. Bit of a bugger is that. Good job you noticed, even if no one else would have…. Will it still fit if you correct them Brian, or do you have to move the ones on the hull as well?- Tim Marlow

Airfix 1/72 (old tool) Meteor III.
That’s come out very well for a moulding first released in 1970. Certainly looks the part.- Tim Marlow
