No kits for me, or anything to do with modelling...........

Father Christmas brought me 12 very obscure bottles of beer, two new release PS3 games and TWO, yes two, Joe Bonamassa dvd's on blu-ray.....Live from the Albert Hall and Live from New York, The Beacon Theatre.......

Who needs model kits?......Well not for a week or two anyway!!!!!!

All the best.

Nothing model related for me either, but I did get a machine polisher for the 1:1 scale cars outside. I'll practise the technique on the wife's car then move onto mine. It'll look like wet glass when I'm finished with it!

I didn't get any either but I did get money so I need to work out what I want to build...

 

[Guest]

Mamod Traction engine and trailer for me, in challenging need of some TLC. Just what I was after.

Yes, I'm a closet toy steam fan. Showmans' Engine coming up.

Oh and a Papa Smurf T shirt from my piss-taking Granddaughter!

Adrian,

I did the prototype boot spoiler on that WRC Imprezza when I was clay modelling at Dove Engineering in Norfolk, who did all the upgrades on that car for Peter Stephens, ProDrive's designer. The spoiler gave no downforce in the wind tunnel, but 15% drag!

Enjoy the kits.

Martin

 

[stona]

I did okay.

An Academy 1/35 Hummer thingy for the SIG build,which I knew about!

Fly 1/32 Ba 349 V "Natter"

Hasegawa 1/32 ME 163 B "Komet".

Heinkel He 219 by Roland Kemp (the Schiffer publication)

Cheers

Not much theme building going on here. British, foreign, car, ship, tanks, all over the place. I'm surprised.

[Guest]

I've got a 1:1 Impreza outside!

Not a WRC, though.
