    Me again!

    So this this month has been a big month birthday wise in our house as Junioress turned 18 two weekends ago and Junior turned 16 this weekend.

    Junior has done pretty well and below are the key items from a 'kit' perspective.....


    JR - thank you again for the best wishes for Junior. He says thank you very much!

      A bit annoyed - model was cheap, p&p high, wpuldn't have minded if had been packaged well. Revell boxes are flimsy at the best of times & this was a bit squashed - but nothing broken, luckily

        Well, nothing very exciting, but seeing as there's so much "glass" in my current 111 build,I wanted to make sure it went in cleanly, without frosting.
        I've tried PVA,Revell Contacta Clear and AK Crystal Magic.... and not been happy with any of them :disappointed2:,then i saw Phil Flory using this stuff....

              A couple of 1/24 truck and trailers listed as spares I probably can rebuild them.
              I think the yellow truck has a car transporter trailer Click image for larger version

                Quite a project. Look like quality models though.

                  I got to find out what type I have shouldn't be difficult.

                    It probably won't improve my modelling but it will be kinder on my back and my a**e! The old chair was about 13 years old. The foam had disintegrated into bits, the fake leather was split and the uppy-downy mechanism wouldn't stay where it was put!

                        I believe this is a staged photo, far too tidy to be real !

                            I assume it's in Russian service?

                              Ha , of course Neal:upside:. Loved by Russian tankers, even thought it was slow and had to have additional parts on the tracks for use during the snow. :nerd::smiling:

                                But it's when you turn the camera round and see all the junk creeping up the walls in the corner....
