Richard Wabbles Matchbox 1/72 Siskin Mk.111A
Hi guys, have you got any problems with the format on your HP's. The interface doesn't seem to be HP friendly. Anyway I got started with the office...very bare and since the aperture is so tight, not much can be seen so I'll just add the IP and fit the pilot with one or two ribs on the side...- rtfoe

Richard Wabbles Matchbox 1/72 Siskin Mk.111A
Hi guys, I'll start with the usual customary box and sprue shots to begin with... This has been in my stash for ages and is a made in China copy so I've got to read up on mandarin to work on the destruction sheet. Good thing is picture diagrams are clear. Usual clean molding from Matchbox with...- rtfoe

Welcome to Papa695's Bi plane GB. Chat thread
Okay since our local Arab GB has been moved to September, I'll try to insert a biplane build if I may. The victim is a Matchbox Siskin... I believe Dave has built this and posted here once before. I'll try not to make a hash if it and keep it stock standard with as little mods if possible...- rtfoe

Oh dear it's a 1/72 Bristol Beveldere
Hi guys, mojo came back and started on the actual extinguisher as this one was too large and probably is some oxygen or propellant if some kind. No pictures of it painted yet but here are the unassembled parts of the other extinguisher... They look like similar components but there is a nozzle...- rtfoe

Christmas dinner
I've had this for the past week since Christmas Eve.... Made a bunch of it, gave a whole lot of it as take-away and still another days helping in the freezer left. That was damn hell of a cooking. Cheers, Wabble -

My pilot friend whose also a modeler and a member of our group managed to land at Heathrow early this morning (at night London time) and mentioned the strong cross winds and the pattern of planes lining up to land, many making a second round. All other airports were also in the same situation... -
Malayan Emergency 1/35 scale.
Hi Guys, ever since making the fruit that the monkeys were throwing at the convoy, many people had asked me what they were and I told them it was a fictitious fruit but now I can safely say what it is. After a stroll walking Sebastian I chanced upon this... ...they're wild passion fruit and...- rtfoe

Happy Winter Solstice Everyone.
Did you know, Winter Solstice / Dongzhi Festival is deemed more important and auspicious than the Lunar Chinese New Year because in Ancient China, the winters were treacherous and hard and often unforgiving. At the end of Autumn where all the yearly crops were stored to withstand this uncertain... -

Unveiling of the memorial to PoW and Repulse.
Hi, in the earlier set of photos featured planes involved in Malaya except the Veelderbeast, Albacore and Boston. You'd be surprised to see a Zero. They were navy but land based in Vietnam that covered the landings at Kota Bharu. There is also the Catalina, the first British plane to fall to the...- rtfoe

Unveiling of the memorial to PoW and Repulse.
When the Royals had left, many of the delegates and guests seated at the royal table asked if they could come round later for a close look of the displays. This was where we had the opportunity for one on one conversations and to exchange experiences and knowledge of the occasion. Rear Admiral...- rtfoe

Unveiling of the memorial to PoW and Repulse.
Thank you guys, it was a team effort. Lucky for us it was His Majesty that needed a chaperone to guide him through the exhibits which was done by our team leader. My partner and I were assigned to the Regent which was not needed so he waited for his father to finish and then proceeded to the...- rtfoe

Unveiling of the memorial to PoW and Repulse.
Before it all started me and my room mate member had our photos taken... The guests arrive and were drawn to the exhibits so the team took care of individual groups and walked them through the exhibits. I don't know if you'll spot me with my animated hand gestures talking to a group of British...- rtfoe
