    What a sh*t Week

    Hoping it all works out OK.

    Steven’s 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IIa

    The whole ‘White Cliffs’ base is inspired! I’d say this is artistry.

    At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?

    Hmm, I may have to review my stash cupboard and donate some to Model for Heroes. That looks a worthwhile charity and I definitely have some that I can’t ever see myself wanting to do. My wife would say my stash should be a maximum of one in progress and next one up!

    Westland Lynx - Matchbox - 1:72 scale

    Very nice, considering the age of the kit too. Tell me that they are brand new paints, otherise I have no idea how you keep them so clean!

    Masking fluid, how to remove from brush?

    I use the Humbrol - now I find that use of a cocktail stick and one crappy brush that I only use for masking is the way to go. I just consider the brush a lost cause.

    Nerdy Scale Model Spreadsheet, what to include?

    I started doing this recently too using Numbers - mainly because I no longer want to have a Microsoft subscription for a few excel sheets. So I created (so far) two main sheets, one for Models and one for paints, and because Numbers is great at pivot tables, I use them too. The Paint one is...

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    The difference in the exhuasts is markedly better than Geoffers - and this is a 1/72, makes it yet more of a surprise that yours is like that Geoff.

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    The patches on the blue are just where I was touching up so they are wet, they should be same colour when dried fully.

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    The yellow on the wing edges has bled, I tried using the 1mm tape but it is probably too thin to fold so I’ll need to redo these.

    The spinner is red which works well:

    Sighhhhh another R34

    You cannot resist so you just need to accept the inevitable and buy them when your see ‘em :cool:

    Going awol

    Well if you are in a better place mentally, a few weeks/months with a big brush getting yourself settled to make a start on the stash is surely the way to go. You should be able to find something to work for every GB in the next 5 years worth of GB’s with that level of stash! 🤣

    Geoff’s 1/48 Eduard Spitfire Story - Spitfire Mk.I build.

    Yeah, that’s disappointing- as you say, aftermarket but that is pretty poor.

    Scale indicator, which way is correct? eg: / or :

    Just to throw a spanner in the works. I see there is a thread started for a Matchbox Lynx - and the box art in there shows 1-72 🤣

    Airfix 1/72 MiG-17F 'Fresco' (A03091A)

    Join the Migs GB later this year and have a go at another Mig! OK I may be biased, it is my GB :) It doesn’t show the faults you mentioned, looks a nice little build - but a tail sitter too. Good job, Sir,

    Papa695s 1/72 Airfix Hawker Typhoon Mk. IB

    My thoughts exactly! Taking a big chunk out of the wings is a bold move. Back when I started, if a model went wrong, it got ‘repurposed’ as a crashed aircraft! I had a lot of crashes 🤣
