    You can't park there mate!

    That is looking excellent, now I know why I don’t do dioramas - because I can’t!

    Westland Wessex HU.5 - 771 Naval Air Squadron (Royal Navy) - Italeri 1:48

    Just four frets for a 1/48? Should be a nice straightforward build, none of the 7 frets with multiple pieces of the same part (speaking from very recent experience). Looking forward to seeing how this one comes along.

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX - 90th Anniversary GB

    Thanks to Colin for the suggested build, I was going to give this a miss but enjoyed seeing all the variations I had to add my own. This is the Eduard Spitfire F Mk. IX 1/72 - EN500, F/O Irving F. Kennedy, No. 249 Squadron, Qrendi, Malta, July 1943 A nice little kit, about the only problems...

    Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Zero type 32

    Excellent work Steven, looking forward to seeing this in flight, definitely inspiring me to do my 'Tora Tora Tora’ which has two complete kits, in flight.

    Steve's Revell 1/48 Mosquito B Mk.IV

    I admire your perseverance. My Revell Huey still sits in the bin under my bench as a reminder.

    Tidy, tidy, tidy 😀

    Frankly that is a disgrace to the ‘I know there is a bench under there somewhere and I assure you I know where everything is’ club ethos. I was prepared to let you in as an executive member, but after this shocking revelation, you can rest assured that any such consideration will be terminated...

    1/48 ESCI Henschel hs 129

    Good solutions to tricky problems Tony. It’s a funny old beast but you can see how the Warthog evolved from something like this - stick a big-ass gun up front and blow tanks up.

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

    They really do look painted on. Looking forward to the clear coat now which should make them really pop.

    How long to make a standard model??

    Ah yes, photo-etch! A whole new category of grief - but CA is your friend. When I first tried that I was using regular glue, then too much CA, then some weird little dropper things that I could never get the hang of. Now I am just about competent - well approaching competence at least. One day...

    How long to make a standard model??

    As above, for me I only get 1 day a week most of the time so I am slow. So long as a I learn something new each time I’m happy enough. This time around - make sure the gloss varnish is smoooooth before decals, because they don’t move easily you don’t. Definitely need to improve my decalling...

    Eduard 1/48 A6M3 Zero type 32

    Looking good, are you able to incorporate damage to the part of the wing that is bent? Or a problem still to be solved?

    Bulldozer Komatsu G40, 1:48. Tamiya

    Wow, that really is a filler kit, that is very neat for a few hours - I’d almost be tempted to think about one once I get started into the stash.

    Bulldozer Komatsu G40, 1:48. Tamiya

    I seem to remember that one, it was a cracking build. Stood out because it was a different subject.

    Steve's Revell 1/48 Mosquito B Mk.IV

    Ouch, that is frustrating when you’ve got the office all sorted and then the fuselage looks like it was made for a different piece of kit.

    FOR SALE - Stash clearance kits

    I was going to donate these kits, but thought I would ask here first if anyone wants to make an offer + postage for any of these. No idea what I paid for them so some of them will be nominal + postage. Happy to sell a few together as well. If not sold, they will go to Models for Heroes. Airfix...

    Airfix 1/72 Beaufort

    That is stunning. The weathering is subtle as well which just adds to how good this is.

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

    I went through my stash today, after decaling - I found 11 that I can’t see myself doing so I think I will list them or I may just go straight to charity and send them to models for heroes. I would like to say my stash seems better for it, but it still fills two shelves.
