"Felt like a like bar fight" ......falling out of a moving car ....whats a heavy bar fight feel like ..freight train ? 😀 -
Yeah odd how politicians seem to work as if it's their ideas that matter - not the people who elect and pay for their fat asses. Oxford near me is working hard to ban cars altogether to make it easier for Chinese students to cycle around whilst taking all out science back to their corrupt regime .

WestLand Whirlwind 1/48 Classic AirFrames-Finnished
PanzerWomble replied to KevinM's topic in LSM 1/48 Work in Progress
Flipping heck thats a bit crazy . It ranover your foot ?😳 bit more than painful im sure -
Life too short for clay barring anything ..really nice pony car though 👍 We have have very few decent classic cars in the UK beyond "classic English sports car" , which is fine if you're ok with a small rusty car and a 100 BHP engine . I look at what corvettes go for in the States and weep , same money here buys really mediocre stuff . Some of the Jags are fun , but most stuff is well beyond the average Jo's budget . Mind you our government is obsessed with getting older cars off the the road for some goddam reason . My wife lived in Mass in the 1990's and used to run old beaters, her favourite being a 4th gen Mercury Cougar she bought for $300 and ran through two winters .

WestLand Whirlwind 1/48 Classic AirFrames-Finnished
PanzerWomble replied to KevinM's topic in LSM 1/48 Work in Progress
Following this build with interest - The other decal option for this one is 263 Sdn...which fits in with my interests in RAF Harrowbeer in Devon . I'm slowly building aircraft that served on the (now deserted) airfield I used to visit as a child and where I learnt to drive. I might cheat and go with the bugle outfit rather than tackle this one . 🫣 -

Maun Parallel pliers ....£30 .....made in the UK ! Came across them on some vidya , grip better than regular pliers, very useful for straightening wire, copper sheet , no jaw marks etc , and big in the jewellery making community so I thought , why not give 'em a go?

The person responsible should be plugged into 240V & 65Amps.....feckin eejit. If he needed to "signal" he should buy one of those nice Chinese EV made by children in factories with no windows and that doesn't appear on Google earth .

Airfix 1/24 Hellcat discontinued?
PanzerWomble replied to Clunkmeister's topic in Modelling Discussion
It's not on their website ....my guess.....hypy- hype mc hype. ... Discontinue it for 6 months , bring it back at a hiked price assuming those who can't live without will rush to buy ....rinse and repeat. They have the gall to charge £50 - £60 for a 50 year old tooling Spitfire/ Hurricane....my guess they will be still dragging out the Hellcat tooling in 2068... Their pricing far outmatches their product IMHO, even though I'm the target market. Be interesting to see 20 years from now , when the "nostalgic for 1970's" crew have packed in modelling if the younger generation will still be interested in Aiflups , or if Dragon will be releasing vintage classics . -

Or cut off the individual teeth on the inner sprocket where they are covered by the track so it fits and you don't see misfit . Done that trick before ! -
