    1:72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    Oh, now I can see what's odd about this bird compared to other Valkyries. The extra wing tips. Plus the booster bells make it look really short!

    1:72 VT-1 Super Ostrich

    Always happy to see Macross stuff! Recently, I saw a transfer sheet for modern USAF/USN which, instead of Space Force, had U N SPACY markings! Well, Space Force did steal the badge!

    I always get a jumper from my sister-in-law. Still, I always give books to my brother Ooh, better curtail this tangent quick before it turns into a moan about 'you got me what? Oh. Thanks...'

    USS Buckley 1/700 Pitroad kit

    Only having seen the action sequences from Greyhound, I can't judge the film as a whole, but it did seem odd to me that Hanks character is first time out on this mission, and yet he commands a small division? Did I get that right? Still, at least we get to hear British command in convoy...

    USS Buckley 1/700 Pitroad kit

    Do it. Do it. Do it Oh, there's the scene near the end, with all the floating debris about, where the destroyer runs down the U-Boat on the surface...

    Now, I said I wasn't going to get anything else this year, but these are birthday presents, so they don't count (and I didn't have to remind Richard, my friend and partner of more than thirty five years, more than once. This time. Which is a first in itself) The Beaufort will be Arthur...

    An update on my wife and my lack of posting since today.

    I've been where you are now, with my mother, twenty years ago It doesn't get any easier, but let's say it gets less hard

    Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

    Told you! Sometimes, i just want to build this beauty again, just for the heck of it, but I've done every early Hurri scheme I want... Except, a Battle of France one, like this... Hmm...

    Chris' 1/144 Trumpeter Chengdupalooza WIP

    So, the main inaccuracy in the Trumpeter F-7s is the undercarriage. For a start, they're moulded at full extension, rather than on the ground compression, so I have to take off a couple of mil on each one The second, is the nose-wheel leg On the left is the kit leg, on the right, my...

    GB idea

    Hmm, maybe not the Mosquito, but something else 'out-of-the-ordinary' A dealer at the show I went to last weekend had all the current Tamiya dinosaurs in 1/35th. I resisted the temptation I mean, where would you put the Brachiosaurus?

    Pete's Vulcan

    So, where exactly in the cockpit does the SPECTRE doppelganger plug in a tiny bottle to poison the rest of the aircrew?

    Chris' 1/144 Trumpeter Chengdupalooza WIP

    Well, that took less time than the first, and I still didn't just put a big mask over the thoing and then m ark and cut it to shape, which would have saved even more tim e Maybe I won't do the full five Olympic display team... 'I'm blue, dubbah-dee, dubbah-doo...' Had to fit a new hose to my...

    Chris' 1/144 Trumpeter Chengdupalooza WIP

    Initial paint schemes on, and a dash of shading and highlighting. The enlarged from reality pics show where touch-ups are needed So, that's two different blue-greys for the undersides, and two different, each, of the sand, green and browns for camo. Plus, the multi-scale transfers from...
