    Stoke model show 28th August 2022

    Any one going to this show? I went last year and it was pretty good so I’ll be there again this year. https://ipmsuk.org/calendar/stoke-on-trent-model-show-2022/

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    Just arrived for my winter projects. I’ve never used masks for aircraft markings before so a new skill to learn. A friend has asked me to build a Lightning for her classroom, the school’s classes have aircraft names and I’ve done a few already. If I’d known the paint masks for the Flagon were...

    My heatwave work bench

    I moved my work bench to the garden patio this afternoon. Football on the radio, shady spot on the patio - just beware the lawn monster. Very hot here on Merseyside.

    Latest Acquisitions (2022)

    After completing a 1/48 tank from Tamiya recently, and being really impressed with it, I bought this as a follow up.

    Rick’s 1/48 Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf.J

    I just finished this. Great little kit. Out of the box with plasticard shurzen per the instructions. The only thing to beware of is when fitting the turret armour - fit the curved section first then the side panels. AK paint and Mig pigments for the weathering.

    40th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands

    Today, 14th June, is the anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands 40 years ago by British forces after invasion by Argentinian forces ten weeks previously. 255 British service personnel and 3 civilians paid the ultimate price for defending the islanders right to self determination...

    Rick’s Tamiya 1/350 HMS Prince of Wales

    Lots of the structure fitted now. The box insert makes a handy cradle for handling and assembly.

    Top Gun - Maverick

    Just been to see this movie. Total Hollywood storyline and big on the USA is awesome angle but great fun all the same. Now to add an F-18 to the build queue/stash.

    On this day - 9th April 1982

    Today is the 40th anniversary of SS Canberra setting sail for the Falkland Islands. Embarked were men of the 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, the UK spearhead battalion - one of these men was my late father. Utrinque Paratus. I have his medals framed and hanging in my man cave.

    Lizzie visits Liverpool

    I took a walk along the Mersey this afternoon to see HMS Queen Elizabeth alongside in Liverpool today, my first sight of her. Hope to see her set sail tomorrow.

    Rick’s Airfix Sea King HC4, 1/72, Operation Mikado, Falklands war

    I’m building this for a GB at my local model club. It’s well under way already I just haven’t been taking photos of the build. Operation Mikado was a botched mission to insert special forces into mainland Argentina. It’s mostly assembled and received a coat of green paint. The kit needs a...

    How do you wash a big cat?

    In preparation for building the Airfix 1/24 Hellcat I need to start with washing off any release agent or other surface contaminants. Now, if you’re not familiar with this kit the sprues are massive. So while the kitchen sink might be acceptable for the kids (that’s where I had a bath as a...

    Airfix 2022 range launched.

    I can’t help but feel a little underwhelmed. I’d love the Buccaneer in 1/48 but the price tag is prohibitive for me. https://uk.airfix.com/new-for-2022
