At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?
Thank goodness for that! I've been trying to sell that one to missus Miko for years! Ha! Miko (Hoarding a Dundee cake behind the big packets of rice and pasta in the less frequently visited kitchen cupboard!)- Miko

At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?
Yep, me too, probably more accurate to describe myself as a collector rather than a builder! Miko (at my current build rate my life expectancy after building the entire stash would make me the oldest person to ever have lived . . . except maybe Methuselah)- Miko

At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?
Expensive but very effective loft insulation, you could argue you're reducing your carbon footprint! Ha! My stash got out of hand quite a while ago, I've attempted multiple stash reduction strategies, non have worked . . . yet! Miko (prepared to admit to around 150 kits after promising myself...- Miko

The state of things.
Just seems like a really odd thing for anyone to steal, us modeller types are mostly of an age and time of life where we have disposable income to afford a kit or two, in fact most of us have a stash beyond our life time build rate! So maybe a kid or . . . . an inside job from a plant placed in... -
Carpet Monster 0 - Miko 1
It's surprising just how much dust and debris accumulates in high traffic areas of the home! It was vacuumed two days ago! Honest! Miko (qualified domestic engineer) -
Amazon Policy Change
I have a weather proof plastic box hidden behind the gate, served me well with most couriers (except sodding Evri! . . . grrrr. . .) Amazon usually take a piccie and send it to the customer to alert them it's arrived! I can't complain about Amazon, they are remarkable really as deliveries go... -
Models on me jollies....
Nice to 'stumble upon' increasingly rare model shops. Being a stones throw from Hannants, it was a brave move to open a model shop there -
Lidl, Upcoming Airfix starter kit sets, June 2026....
Yep, 'flogging a dead horse' comes to mind, which is a shame, Airfix has had a renaissance for me recently, wouldn't it be better to introduce noobs with more buildable kits -
Lidl, Upcoming Airfix starter kit sets, June 2026....
Not a lot in there for me but it's brilliant that Lidl just might bring a new generation of modellers to our hobby! Although, and my experience is quite low, but starter sets with their poor quality paints brush and cement aren't going to inspire many to continue with the hobby, Miko (hope... -
BLADES.
Sounds like a job for a Stanley knife! I'd buy the most economical blades, even pricey blades blunt pretty quickly, the difference in performance it's difficult to justify the cost of more premium blades, regular replacement of blades is best and safest if my old teacher is to be believed... -
Carpet Monster 0 - Miko 1
You know those times you're gripping that tiny little part with tweezers just a little too tightly and 'ping' off it goes in to the realms of the carpet monster? After a continuous fingertip search in an increasingly widening less likely range in the ballistic trajectory of this tiny yet... -
Dragon to no longer make Model Kits?
I don't have a lot of experience with Dragon kits although I have a couple of their 1/35 tanks in the stash. It's a shame they won't develop new kits but I'm sure their molds will go on to other kit makers, their kits already repopped by FineMolds and Platz that I'm aware of- Miko

Typhoon FGR4
Hey look, I completed a kit! Yayy!! the quick fix to the quick fix of a quick fix of my modelling mojo! In recent decades I haven't been a fan of Airfix in their post millennial renaissance, their Spitfire PR19, NA Sabre, Mitsubishi Zero, BAe Hawk Folland Gnat, and DH Vampire weren't good for...- Miko

How old are we?
At last, I'm in with the popular crowd, one of the cool kids! Ha! Born on the day British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and U.S. President John F. Kennedy met in Nassau, Bahamas, agreeing to replace British Skybolt missiles with American Polaris missiles -
