At what point is your "stash" getting out of hand?
I start to get palpitations if mine gets over 90... it throws out my weight and balance! Seriously I've sold a load off this year, and gave some to charity, and maybe more will go in future - it's rather cathartic. If I could, I'd like to keep it at sub-20, but at the moment it's about 50...- Darian Frey

Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa
Oh I 100% agree on 1/72 Chris - I'd do the same. But as you said, on a smaller scale it looks good. I'm liking it a lot - I've not had too much time to post as I always seem to be busy, but you all seem a good bunch and there's some interesting stuff going on. (and I'll remember about the b...- Darian Frey

New to scale modelling!
Welcome to the forum and the hobby - you've come to the right place. I totally agree with all the others of said - I have drawers full of tools and paints, but even after a life time of building, 99.999999% of the time I just use the below. - on every build. OK so you might not need the...- Darian Frey

Worst /best kit you’ve built.
I'm going to throw out something controversial here... One of the best kits I've built in the spirit of 'fun and enjoyment of building' was the 2009 tooling of Airfix's Mig-15. I know, I know, the fuselage was the wrong scale and shape, and the panel lines were awful - but from a standpoint of...- Darian Frey

How do we manage to lose large parts ?
Wormholes... There's a planet out there, next to the one full of missing socks, that is full of missing parts of models. It's in the dimension that the carpet monsters come from.- Darian Frey

Airfix 1/72 (old tool) Meteor III.
Over the last week I've been fiddling with this old boxing (1974 actually) of Airfix's Meteor III - a pretty basic kit it has to be said, but with what appears to be really good fit. As said - it's a pretty simple kit, not many parts. So far I've just been chucking a few bits of white...- Darian Frey

Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa
A lot of airliner modellers do this Chrisb, so that they can use window decals, or the trim decal comes with the windows already in it - look at this one below, it has the windows for the cockpit and the cabin windows as part of the trim stripe. I guess it's easier than masking and painting...- Darian Frey

Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa
Coooooooooooooooooooooolll! I love the Tristar, I used to see the RAF ones all the time growing up, along with the VC-10's. A great looking aircraft.- Darian Frey

Pauls Mig-15 Eduard 1/72
Ah that sucks, but hardly surprising. I don't rate Eduard kits very highly either. I've built a couple but find them very over-rated. The Mig-15 is such a sexy little jet, much nicer looking than the F-86. It's been a while since I've built one but I always liked the little Hobbyboss kit in...- Darian Frey

Pauls MiG 17....Airfix 1/72
That's very nice indeed! The NMF and those decals look excellent - one thing you have to say about Arab nations, they have some very cool aircraft markings.- Darian Frey

Geoffs Trumpeter 1/48 MiG-3
Interesting to see this is going together well as I've never built one of their kits either, but have a couple of kits in the stash. It's looking excellent btw, great work on the cockpit. I've never actually built a Soviet WWII fighter but I can see me getting this one at some point. The Mig-3...- Darian Frey

Joe's Trumpeter 1/72 Mig-29C Fulcrum
That's a very sweet build indeed - lovely work. I fully support the choice of markings - Нехай Бог благословить Україну! (God Save Ukraine).- Darian Frey

Blooming Migs Blooming Build Rules
Ah shame, what a cool idea for a GB. Alas I have net-ski Migs in the stash, and given it's size I'd be hung, drawn and quartered by my wife if I went out and bought one - and she's a Medieval Historian so she'd know she was doing! (Note: She's actually very lovely indeed). I do have a SU-17...- Darian Frey
