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

    I think we all know when we have too many kits. Sometimes the satisfaction of imagining a build is just as satisfying as building them. Each to their own, it's no worse than a comic collector who never reads them.

    JEN HURT

    Hope Jen's back feels better soon Chris. A lucky escape, could have been much worse. Get Jen some new wooden chairs, we all need some more painting or staining in our lives :ROFLMAO:

    1/16 figure - Air Transport Auxiliary pilot

    What a wonderful sculpture of Maureen Dunlop. This is a nice follow up to your Amy Johnson build Tony. Arnie looks ideal for going in under doors or through keyholes.

    Spitfire propeller. Wood or Metal construction.

    A bit of follow up reading explains that the leading edges were often protected by brass sheaths which were doped over and painted. This makes sense if the purpose of the wooden blade is to break away without causing major engine damage, you want to use a malleable metal sheath. You also need...
