The driver for my Simca is slowly being painted. However, I made a bit of a mistake with the colours, as her jacket came out about the same colour as her skirt, so she now looks like she’s a WAAF or something, when the intent was obviously civilian. I’ll have to repaint one of the two, but not sure yet which colour to use. (She’s still loose, just posed in the car for the picture, so it’s not a problem to paint part of the figure again.)

Is that lady the one everyone here refers to as "Matron" ?

No, Matron has snakes for hair etc - just think of your worst hangover, whose bed you are in and what on earth is that you are laying next to and did you??? Then that is 'The Matron'.....
I've known one or two Nora's - you've all met one - you wake up entwined but would rather gnaw your arm off than wake her for breakfast ...

After receiving various goodies from the shop I have started to tart up the Revell 1/144 Saturn V.
Firstly the 5 main engine bells and base plate are bereft of any details. Each exhaust has taken 2 hours to remedy the seams and interior which were awful with card, sprue glue, filler and primer/filler this is what is left to work with
After looking on line and other builds I have added clamps and pipes which, although not 100% accurate, add a bit of interest. Took 4 hours and another 4 to tackle.
Thoughts and comments appreciated.

Me too!! :tears-of-joy:
Well,as you may well know, I've been tinkering with an old 1/48 Jaguar behind the scenes.
This evening,I masked up the canopy and set it on the stand, ready for priming. :smiling3:
...then,when I put it on the bench,in line with my other on going builds,(a Bf 109,and a WW1 Albatross),it dawned on me how these builds represent all 3 of my favourite eras... Completely unintentional.. it just happened!! :rolling:....

Yep! I've chewed a few pillows in my youth.....I've known one or two Nora's - you've all met one - you wake up entwined but would rather gnaw your arm off than wake her for breakfast ...

Well
Turned out that apparently God had an axe to grind with me and bestowed this "good fortune" unto me as a cruel punishment for one transgression or another. They were so vain, judgy and high-maintenance, in short order I learned the meaning behind "beauty being only skin-deep". I'd be happier with a 'plain Jane' any day lol !
Well Steve.... I also remember (-shudder-) one or two along the way who were IMO such "hotties"that I wondered how I could ever be so lucky ! THANK YOU, GOD !!I've known one or two Nora's - you've all met one - you wake up entwined but would rather gnaw your arm off than wake her for breakfast ...
