  1. They were finding Kar 98ks in Iraq in 2003 and some of the WW2 ships were still be scrapped 15 year ago . Fascinating stuff.
  2. Thats looking pretty damn fine πŸ˜„
  3. Came across this blog a few years ago , shows interesting pictures of the stuff left to clear up after WW2 from all over the world . Itz all here
  4. Yes thats a lovely and unexpected colour ., she'll be a stunner
  5. The two guys carrying the mail(?) to the Kingfisher had me . πŸ˜„ as well as the guys lounging in the sun . 100% believe details should tell a story if you can , the interaction of the objects and the people is art , otherwise it's a thing with less context.
  6. It's a good one isn't it . I have another but it might upset the more religious so decided against posting it .
  7. Must admit I had a Nissan Terrano for a few years , it was as tough as old boots , the 2.7 Turbo Diesel engine was a firm favourite in Black cabs for a while . It was ok for gentle off-roading as well with a separate lower box, and took us to the Ardennes and back in 40 degree summer , not back for an 18 year old truck .
  8. Try another ..ward off serial killers
  9. They do a crossover transverse engined version ....the Nissan Woke .... I'll get me coat
  10. That's a shame it was the funniest joke yet ....πŸ˜†
  11. Despite being made in the UK the 1st Gen wasn't wildly liked , unlike the Squashy which sold over a million and is still going strong . Bit too rad with the styling , not an exciting drive and the name/image didn't help according to pundits. They're sold quite cheap here as there is a lot of other competition in that price arena , but I'm not sure we got any high HP versions
  12. Not knowing F-A11 about the F-111 *...... is the escape pod something they planned to do in the prototypes stages but dropped later because of cost ? Or did it make it to the main production. UK was supposed to buy these but went F4 instead after all the delays and the USN cancelling their......s imagine if we'd held on a bit longer and bought the new F-14 s....joyous even if we didn't have a carrier big enough . Talking of endless delays.....it's almost like the F-35 Wunderwaffe .....if history repeats we will all be getting sold Lockheed day fighters dressed up as multirole aircraft instead by 2025 . *see what I did there ?
  13. I've liked your previous Lufty builds , look forward to seeing another Wurger on the line.
  14. Yup , drilling out two holes in 220 links for starters ...then ruining the tips of your finger threading it all together ...fighting the brass wire .. but when they are done and burnished its still 120% better than gluing track horns onto individual links . The mass and droop is nice too .
  15. Trackbashing ...as much fun in 1/35 as it is in 1/1 ....5+ hours so far
  16. I do recall paging my way through his 10,000 posts ...not a single build thread , RFI or even picture of anything he had built . Complete waste of space being on any modelling forum ...could have happily trolled the Western Arkansas New Knitting forum for as much skin he had in the game .
  17. Being a huge fan of Pantherererzzz ...a nice CZ book with lots of pix not available elsewhere . My other obsession is the EE Lightning ....I already have all the books written about them ...πŸ˜”
  18. +1 ....me too Tim , saw MIL and so had to look it up . My namesake pal has prostrate cancer, but now 2 years later and some radiation he's back to being ok . Mum dies of pancreatic cancer , diagnosis to gone in 4 weeks . As the song says , "why do we think we have so much time ?" Oh & other useful advice , if someone feeds you chocolate cake with beetroot ( it's a gourmet thing apparently) be aware of the panic you may feel going to the loo 12 hours or whatever later .....I'll just park it there Sincerely wishing you a speedy recover Chris .
  19. Great result , esp as it is hard to make solid black look interesting πŸ‘
