    Operation M. The Great Work Has Begun!

    I am currently experiencing a little difficulty with my posts. Can I ask you to bear with me please until I get the situation sorted?

    Operation M. The Great Work Has Begun!

    For those not 'in the know' as they say, I had a plan to rid the world of the scourge of Marmite. I realised my original plan to send stocks of M into space via rocket would not work and I outlined my revised plan briefly here a couple of weeks ago...

    A question of scale.

    I've been looking into some small scale stuff and have an issue with the quoted scales. I know HO scale is 1/87 and OO scale is 1/76 and most railway stuff is a combination of the two - I believe trains and rolling stock are 1/87 but the track width is actually 1/76. Am I right in that? My...

    Canopy frames

    PJ is working on a Revell 1/48 Ju52. I got him to have a go at painting the canopy frames and I gotta say I am impressed with this - especially as it was done freehand with no masking and no clean-up.

    Micro set removing paint

    PJ is trying to decal his Mustang kit. It's been sprayed with VMA Aluminium paint and he tried to fix a decal using Micro set. Good job he was watching what he was doing as the Micro set started to take the paint off. Is this common? If not, does anyone know why it happened?

    PJ's 1/24 Italeri Transit Police Van

    Finito! Didn't fancy leaving the back totally empty so knocked up some seats. I don't know if there were ever any fitted to the real vans, but it wouldn't surprise me. Enjoyable build apart from losing bits of paint and decals (I still had the decals left over from my build so no...

    Help needed to find a thread on the forum.

    A couple of weeks ago - maybe a little more - someone posted a thread and showed a couple of pictures of two very old, scratchbuilt/cardboard ships. Does anyone remember it? If so could you put up a link please?

    Pneumonia? You can keep it!

    Felt absolutely fine the week before last. Pottered about doing all my usual stuff and went to a pub quiz on Thursday. All day Friday I was fine and had an early night (about 0200 Sat am which is early for me). Woke up in the wee small hours of Saturday with violent convulsions, sickness and...

    Gern's Revell 1/35 GTK Boxer sgSanKfz

    Made some progress but by all the Gods it's slow going. I've already said I'm using EMA Plastic Weld as my Tamiya cements have real trouble with this plastic. Trouble with EMA is that it evaporates so quickly - literally in the time it takes to get the brush out of the bottle and lined up with...

    PJ's 1/24 Italeri Transit Police Van

    's about time for some progress pics. This is the second time I've been involved with this kit and it's just as good as I remembered. No issues with fit anywhere and only tiny bits of flash to deal with. If anyone wants a 'shake 'n' bake' Transit kit, this is the one...

    What am I missing about this advert?

    There's a TV advert at the moment from one of those companies that allow you to trace your family history. This particular advert shows a man and woman sleeping together. The voice-over tells us that this is Wendy and her husband Alan has just found out that one of his forebears was in the...

    Money puzzle

    My brother sent this to me today - the sadistic b****r! Suppose you have £50 for your birthday and want to spend it. You write down two columns. One showing how much you spend and one showing how much you have left. Like so: Spent Money left Now start filling in the amounts: Spent...

    Gern's Revell 1/35 GTK Boxer sgSanKfz

    Made some progress. It's much bigger than I thought. Gotta start splashing paint around before I fit the driver's compartment but as I'll have the thing on it's back a lot while I'm fitting all the underside bits, I'll leave that until later. Couple of points though. PJ had a go at an old...

    PJ's 1/24 Italeri Transit Police Van

    This is what I recommended to PJ for this GB. Some of you will remember I butchered this some while ago to create an old, neglected van used by the rock group 'Blood Angels'. Hopefully PJ will end up with a pristine, well-maintained Police van. Meanwhile, sprue shots:
