Evri, worst courier ever!
In the last couple of months I've ordered some stuff from AliExpress, they are generally a 'get what you pay for' sort of experience, if the price seems too good to be true, then, it probably is, but, I had some great bargins from there, but my problem has been with 'Evri' formerly 'Hermes'... -

So I've got this GuP thing
As discussed elsewhere in this forum I've discovered the anime phenomena of Girls und Panzer! I'm guessing some maybe unaware of it's existence so I used my very limited video editing skills to bodge together two clips which highlight the spirit of the anime. This video stream includes the... -
I think I have a syndrome
For years I've be quite disciplined in that I only build one kit at a time, being quite a quick builder this doesn't usually present a problem, of course I've had lapses where I've taken a break from one build to start another, usually for a technical reason, needing a part or a paint colour or...- Miko

Modelling philosophy
The reason we build models and what we get out of the experience seems to be quite variable, I would think nostalgia plays a part for many of us, it is a hobby most of us enjoyed as youngsters, and seen by many as a kids thing even today, although I can't think of any that do, but the one...- Miko

Classic Hasegawa Lightning
Part one of the instructions has the fuselage halves together! and in stark contrast to the Sword T5 kit the cockpit detail is one rather basic seat, that's it, unless I include the pilot figure, which I never do unless I build landing gear up!
