FIFA WC 2026
I don't think any football fan thinks the London Olympic stadium could be described as fabulous. Presumably some of the recent choices have been to encourage the growth of football in the host countries. Financial inducements may have played their part too if the rumours are to be believed. -
Model makes.
I have found Hasegawa and Meng to be good quality kits. Tamiya I agree are consistently good and have been for many years.- LeytonO

Latest Acquisitions (2026)
Good choice of airbrush John, I have two of them, one with a 0.35 needle and the other has the 0.5 installed. Only things to watch out in my experience for are as follows Firstly the trigger sticking on the tiny O ring that sits in the body above the air valve. A drop of lube every now and then... -

Models on me jollies....
I believe they are just over the border in Lowestoft, Suffolk. East Anglia Transport Museum is there too, it has some nice old trams and trolleybuses. Oulton Broad is good for the midweek powerboat racing. We spent a fair bit of time there when my daughter was young in our motorhome. 122 miles... -
Latest Acquisitions (2026)
We looked at the silhouette portrait 4, but our old scanner would have probably needed to be replaced too. Also it wasn't widely available and wondered if spares might be an issue. Had another go this morning and it all went very well. -
Latest Acquisitions (2026)
This was picked up from Hobbycraft yesterday and is now working in its most basic way. Mainly bought so my wife can make masks for her Linocut printing, cuts down the amount of cutting needed. Luckily for me It also works very nicely for cutting out masks for things such as windows on my models... -

Model clubs, what exactly do you do?
The nearest one to me is very active, it runs the popular St Ives show and I believe the Shuttleworth one as well now. They meet in the large village where my daughter lives which is a 30 mile round trip for me. To be honest i'm not that interested, model making like photography is something I...- LeytonO

Good try Nick, but the random bottles on the desk need a permanent home. Plus points for the paper towel and sanding sticks storage. :)
