    I had 30 years of too much alcohol and now I rarely touch the stuff - so I can't use that as an excuse for my mistakes. I'm just left with poor eyesight and maybe a touch of senility to blame!

    Well I didn't know - but then I'm not every one. So if only left handed tracks were available, why is the right hand track different?🙃

    Beautiful. Gotta ask. Are the tracks supposed to be facing different ways?

    Impressive woodwork but why all the fancy decorations on a warship?

    Update on Ron

    My personal favourite was his build of 'The Clacker'. Unfortunately we can't give Ron all the credit for that - he wouldn't have been able to finish it without the help of Idu and his lads!

    Rembering Ron.

    Didn't someone suggest it should be brush painted in keeping with Ron's methods?

    Update on Ron

    Yes indeed. Can I suggest a dio that must include at least one of Ron's non-modelling materials - cereal, pizza bases, garage sweepings, garden plants etc. And aircraft in flight of course - assuming that you can find a suitable 'chucker'!

    'appy birfday Ron!

    Sudden flash of inspiration! I dug the street name for Ron's shop out of some deep, dark recess of my brain! I'll put a letter in the post. Let you know if I get anywhere.

    'appy birfday Ron!

    I've lost the file where I kept all my useful modelling contents - including Ron's address! B****y eejit I am!! I know the shop he used to have was called "On the tiles" and it's in Wrexham somewhere. Pete: I'm sure it's 'Salkeld'.

    Any chance you can show pictures once the kids have done their decorating?

    'appy birfday Ron!

    I'll drop a line to the shop. If the 'phone is still connected, I assume there must be someone there to pass it on.

    Another A/B problem Sorted

    Sorted, but thanks for the suggestions guys. Turns out my nozzle has split allowing paint to bypass it and run along the inside of the pinch tip. Just got to check if I've got a 0.4mm setup or 0.45mm.

    'appy birfday Ron!

    If you sent it to "On the Tiles", I sent some stuff there some time ago and Ron told me he no longer worked there. I don't know if he sold it or just handed over management to someone. This doesn't look good.

    Another A/B problem Sorted

    Hi guys. Back to pester you again. I tried to do a bit of painting this morning but got very little paint from my A/B (H&S Ultra, 0.4mm needle set up, Tamiya paint thinned with MLT at around 20psi). Stripped the brush and found LOTS of residue paint from the last time it was used - I'll be...
