    The Revell Tornado GR1 is a fine kit, arguably the best in 1/72, nice fit good detail, not sure about Eduard stuff although it has a great reputation! Although the box art isn't the best! I looks kind of stretched out! But the nice lady looks to be well within acceptable aesthetic...

    You're exactly right, in the past twenty odd years there has been no really 'bad' kits. Subjective of course, there are some modelling forums, one in particular I probably shouldn't name seem to enjoy harshly criticizing kits because they see them as being 1mm out, describing them as...

    Very nice studio you have there Paul, including the essential toast rack on your bench! Ha! Miko (toast seems to be a thing today, i think I'll have some. . . brb. . . .

    There's probably a name for that in clinical psychology, I also have that condition, it's so satisfying to have everything set up ready to go, seems a shame to mess it up by actually using it! I'm the same with opening a kit box, cutting the tape that holds on the lid, pulling open the plastic...

    That's useful, according to the packaging it conforms toast! Ha!

    I think it's a quote often attributed to Feynman but I don't really know, I would suggest it was intended to be 'tongue in cheek' but others may argue it has at least some validity Miko (deist, not a theist)

    All thought experiments are flawed, otherwise they would be testable and conclusions drawn Nope, you really can't, it's unassailable Not even nearly a scientific fact, I'm not sure a modelling forum is the place to debate the many flaws in spontaneous emergence of metabolic process and...

    Impressive stash! seems you have all your spare time filled for the forseeable decades! Miko (considering publishing my stash for scrutiny of others)

    So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish is the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy of six books" written by Douglas Adams.

    I offer the Fermi paradox and the Drake equation . . . or, my particular preference Deism Miko (the theory of evolution makes no sense on close examination)

    Douglas Adams was indeed a literary genius! Miko (resident being "far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral Arm of the Galaxy'' )

    1/35 Tank display stand made from Shoe rack

    Eighty! Wow that's a lot of tanks! You're gonna need a bigger shelving system! What's the green tank on the far left second shelf down? I can recognise the others but. . . ? It'll look mighty impressive when done

    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!)

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    If cake is a vice, I need to put myself into rehab! Miko (former owner of the 'Biscuit Appreciation Society' Facebook thingy)

    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)
  19. 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...

    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...
