I'm pretty sure Oxfordshire UK has a lot gentler climate than Texas or Mississippi, mind you we are being hit with all time high gas bills thanks to Poohtin .

Love it , what an interesting subject.

+1 on those sentiments.

150 sq metres , 1960's built , £100 per month ish . Work from home , heat with gas , fans not aircon

Keep swiping right .

I would imagine that is lot of it, also why Revell won't include swastikas. I wonder how the hammer & sickles are bearing up , as Stalin murdered more than Hitler in the same time period . He ho , pandering mode on. Oddly , my neighbours are ok with me hanging out the flags on Party Day and Fuhrergeburtstag but that may say more about the home counties than we'd like to admit ? Ps that Dornier is drop dead gorgeous

I've posted Finnish aricraft on Facebook , also 109 and 190 with national insignia.

That’s a very nice jug , subtle weathering . A good recovery from the SOD !

Yup ......turning a turd of a model like that Arizona into a work of art it became was truly inspiring , and Garys surfing eBoat was inspired artistry and unique. Still if I had made your F14 I'd be pretty chuffed !

Ok .........looking at your correspondence on TOS , he was wrapping up the company March last year due to illness ( knocking 62 if his profile is correct) , the website has gone , and can't find them on eBay. Not been on LSP since May 2022 According to Facebook ... 19 Moseley Street, DE5 3DA Address mark@greymatterfigures.com Facebook reckons he traded out of 19 Moseley Street, Ripley , DE5 3DA Derbyshire , which is near Alfreton . It looks like that house is up for sale on Rightmove ... TBH if Jerry Rutman doesn't know where he's gone it's possible he either died , got very ill or just wrapped it all up with no ongoing plan .

Whatcha know about this Tim Skelton as a starter for 10 Tim ?

I thought this one was supposed to be the "lost grave of modellers" Phil? Looking pretty close to completion to me . Really beautiful looking model . Crack on !

Does sound like an AI bot being tried out to see if anyone believes it is a human facsimile. Hey @Laurajames , what is the square root of 2 ?

Dubious lol , I will bet $100 no one going will look anything like this brochure shot ...

I'm game for another GB . Prefer US to WW2 German . Up for most subjects . Won't be within 500 miles of any model show though🙃 nae my bag .

Binge watching those Dahmer programmes are not good for you ....

I thought I was getting 1,500,000BN USD by wire drop last week ?

Sorry totally my bad, what you call "masks" correctly .....I think of as a "stencil" . Whereas in our hobby context "stencils" means instructions painted on an aircraft ....probably through the use of masks IRL LOL . Have a think about using some artists oil paints for weathering maybe ? If you like don't like the effect a q tip in white spirit will take it all off . Lets you play around nearly infinatley with oil spills , fuel drips even paint fading . Or pastel chalks are popular for fading as well . Either way that T/bird is mighty fine .

Is that Ernie who keeps calling "to speak to the house owner" then ? He sounds a bit Nigerian for Texas I thought.

Lovely paint modulation, looks bang on scale , weathering is very authentic as well . Werner's stance is great his leather pops and the lighting is great . Thats a cracking build and pix Gary 👍

All good , those stencils turned out well . Shes' a cute girl . Few thoughts if you reckon on stencilling more ....numbers 1 2 3 are easier to stencil than 8, 9 or 0 if you get the choice of serials 😀 One of the joys is that you can sand/scratch through stencils !! Can be hard to line up when you get started ...I use thin masking tape (5mm) to edge the bottom and one of the sides , means you can line it all up with the masking tape and.........then just plonk the stencil in place when its all peachy straight I learnt in 1:1 painting that getting the tape off quickly helped with less ridging or paint tearing , I do the same with Masks, once its dry I take em off. Not sure if that helps with residue transfer or not , but not an issue i've had using Oramask 810 I took the plunge bought a Silhouette ...$200 ....never looked back . Dead decals , don't fancy the box option , CBA with silvering or decal soft ...20 mins on the cutter and off you go .

Something deeply satisfying about saying enough is enough and just binning some manufactures shoddy work . Airfix 1/48 sea harrier … binned….ICM Hs126hit ……binned. What’s worse is they already have taken your cash , but you don’t have to waste anything more on junk models . I was really tempted by the KH jaguar as it’s the only new deal for that aircraft in 1/48 ( I’ve done the Airfix that’s as awful as the harrier) but reviews all said the fit was dire on that one as well and with them trading for daft money will have to wait until a new mould appears . Have a beer Pete, watch a favourite movie and treat yourself to a nice model 😄

Kamikaze mission ? er what silvering ?…

Ah i see it now , they spelt sushi rolls incorrectly, damn those IJN aircrew menus I’m guessing its upside down but I doubt any non Japanese reader would notice
