    How old are we?

    Being retired gives you time for hobbies and so that's probably why so many of us are geriatrics. When I was working I certainly didn't have time to spare - working hours coupled with running a house, raising a family etc. In many families today both partners work, have to work, again eroding...

    Making aerials from sprues...

    Definitely two hands and a tea light. Steady pull and keep holding it straight while it cools. My success rate is about 10% 😄

    Zvezda 1/72 40mm Bofors AA gun.

    The Bofors has been weathered the same as the Bedford. Both may need tweaking when on the base. The base is started. Blue foam stuff. The wall is fixed in place using cocktail stick dowels and PVA. The wall has been sealed with PVA and the base will be covered with Sculptamold.

    I seem to remember reading about Gecko Models. I think they are a relatively new company based in Hong Kong although their manufacturing is done in China. Looks a nice kit. Individual track links :)

    Pin stripes

    Pin stripes are not something I've had to produce however I was interested in your use of the Cricut Joy. Your post was the second time recently that I've read about the Cricut Joy being used in the hobby. A few of your thoughts on the Joy would be appreciated. I wonder how useful it would be to...

    Lego my V8

    Coming along really well. I suppose you have to check and double check each stage very carefully. An error at one stage would upset later stages.
