    GOODBYE

    "However, if you are going to move on and wont state the reason, you can't expect too much encouragement to the contrary." Sorry but I thought this was a persoanal choice and not one to be bandied about. If the guy wants to leave then that is his choice, and to say goodbye to the forum is not...

    Get rid of it because one day you will be halfway through and that will be the end of your day.

    Stashes and insurance.

    House contents should cover it, but not in a garage or shed as this would come under a different policy.

    Making a miniature wood-frame aircraft fuselage 100mm long. Suggestions please???

    That looks like a good start and can be used as a guide for a better build. I was going to suggest sheet glass, but a lot of modellers do not have that to hand, but clear sheet does just as good. With the EMA rod(s) I would suggest using liquid cement as this will bind the plastic together by...

    Making a miniature wood-frame aircraft fuselage 100mm long. Suggestions please???

    My first car

    Back then the insurance wasn't as strict as it is today, current tax disc and MOT were the order of the day, and even they could be 'produced' but that is another day.

    I remember my late Father buying this kit, sitting patiently watching it all go together, then mounted on the clear plastic stand, and finally being put on the mantlepiece next to the pride of place clock... And I sat there in the living room gazing in wonder at this bright red model, got up and...
