    Land Rover FC 1/76 kitbash

    Filling those two sink marks won't be easy. I would try cutting off the lights, that would give a nice flat surface to fill and sand back to. Then replace the lights. If you cut them off close with a razor saw they may be ok to refit or you could scratch replacements. No doubt you'll sort it.

    JEN HURT

    Well despite there being a funny side to it all the main thing is that Jen is OK and not hurt.

    Masking fluid, how to remove from brush?

    Last chance saloon - lacquer thinner. Could also try acetone - nail polish remover.

    Land Rover FC 1/76 kitbash

    What an interesting project. Using those two kits makes it cheap and a reasonable size. Two KFS kits plus the house extension to keep the finished model in would have bankrupted you. Off to a good start.

    Glad the new shelves are sorted. Good idea of Paul's. Those little planes have really tested your skills and patience but they're looking good now.

    Behemoth

    A formidable machine but flawed in so many ways. A sign of the Fuhrer's obsession with "big is better".

    Going awol

    Glad things are moving on well for you. Good luck with the move and hope the 1:1 painting goes ok. New hobby room sounds great. Look forward to seeing you back at the bench when you feel ready and when you've dug something out of your stash.

    An excellent book

    Looks good. Not expensive. I'm old fashioned enough to like physical books rather than a screen.

    Accurate Armour 1/48 kits

    Accurate Armour ceased to exist a year or two ago. If I remember correctly Newland Models took over some of the AA moulds.

    Tamiya mazda roadster

    Great little cars. I seem to remember reading that the MX5 sold more than any other sports car.

    M8 Howitzer on modified Stuart chassis

    Another great result. Love all the stowage and the used and abused look.

    Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

    All the best to Julie. Glad all went well. Windlass looks 100% better. Painting looks fine to me.

    1/32 Revell 1956 Cadillac Eldorado

    Well 'tis done. Certainly not a kit I would recommend. It shows it's age of 70 years. Fit is terrible, moulding is rough and the kit design leaves a lot to be desired. So excuses over here be piccies. Doris and Clark And at the drive-in in Clark's new 1956 Cadillac Eldorado :)...
