Diverting slightly to the left .... Bought one of these ...soooooo cute . Odd how I like 1/48 aircraft but not armour. 🥺 Zats all zere is volks teetny weeny Not much paint used Looking for Maarti Getting closer , need to complete the land side next . "5 minutes head start"

I always enjoyed hearing about Lake Wobegon .

Urgh I hate resin . Pour went on , looked ok , then it built up heat and bubbled to fack, melting stuff .....need to find a reliable resin , not random shite bought off ebay . Busy with other clonck as well . Back soon but don't expect much . #peedofinoxford

Soiry kids is a wah story from 2016 . The Rotherham Bugle is a pisstake blog ...from the "about us " We decided to launch The Rotherham Bugle after identifying a fundamental problem with other news based media covering the South Yorkshire area – they are restricted by a requirement that they stick to reporting on things that actually happened. And here’s the problem with that – what actually happened tends to be boring. And so from the very start, we made an editorial decision to give facts a back seat. Yes, you may find a grain of truth hidden away somewhere, but it’s more by accident than design. If you do find something that’s true, don’t judge us too harshly. Anyone can make mistakes. Our primary focus is on stuff that we’d have liked to happen, had a story taken a more interesting turn. They’re the sort of things that might occur to you in the bath, on the bog or while sitting in your car waiting for the sodding lights to change at Whiston Crossroads. Any similarity between the style and content of our stories and those featured in mainstream media, is purely intentional. We hope you enjoy our alternative take on the news affecting people in Rotherham, and if there are any stories you feel we should be covering, we’d be delighted to hear from you. https://www.rotherhambugle.com/about-us/ Funny regardless.

Take 2 Whoosh zoom bang ! Nearly ready for the do or die moment . Laterz PW

Wonderful , so simple and yet so elegant and expertly executed .

Fun fact if you ever get over to Normandy - the D-Day experience museum near Caretan has a full size flight simulator based on a C-47 chassis , where you get to "experience" flying into normandy on D-Day. Sounds naff I know, but after 2 mins we found ourselves 100% "in the zone". It is at Dead mans Corner where the US 101st and the Falshirmjeager battled it out for three days to capture the hotel https://dday-experience.com/en/

Ok I've genuine kit envy there .....I love Takom's desings even if they are never quick builds .

Look pretty handsome from where I'm sat, great finish to an older kit , and again love the Voodoo, esp in this interesting cammo scheme. 😀 1985 tooling , when 1/48 meant upscaled 1/72 mostly , raised panel lines et all ....and compared to 2022 tooling .....we've come a long long way in under 40 years

& this is a new tool from 2017 .....? It's a real shame to me that Airfix don't go the extra 25 yards , because they clearly thought about providing some inside details. I also don't believe that their moulding company in India hasn't access to decent tooling designers , so whats going on ? Rant over - you are are far better man than I, Mike to fill all that in. I had a look around the Walrus at the FAA museum last year , they were really interesting aircraft.

It's just beaucoup de masking tape and your sanity after all , what could possibly go wrong 😀 Be outstanding if you could pull it off though.

Really like that , the effect you've achieved with the paintwork is awesome . It's also bang on the money to your reference pic. 👍 Great work ! Looking forward to seeing your Finnish build too .

The Dead South..... today ...seeing them on the UK leg of their tour in October. 😀

Appreciate the encouragement Peter , however .... Life's too short to muck around putting lipstick on pigs 😁 All the angles and sizes are wrong for what I want to achieve with this diorama . TBH the scatter size is not the main issue. There's only about $15 worth of foam material there , so really not worth investing more time in that particular one . We'll call it a practice ! It happens sometimes, I just rarely post failure on the internet . Watch this space as I have a weeks holiday coming up !

Ah wondered how long before we arrived at Thomas and Laser Creation World.😁 His current love of half ton resin work has been interesting, and not always sucessful . I've followed (and occasionally copied / been inspired by ) his work for a long time , in my opinion he is one of the most creative modellers around . A lot of his work these days in post apocalypse , gives you more licence I guess.

This is shaping up nicely. I bought one back in 2017 and was a bit in awe of it on opening the box. The last 1/48 Tomcat I tried building was the 1988 Academy one about 20 years ago , which was so poor ended it up getting binned . My pal convinced me that "I hated building aircraft" which was kind of true at the time and should sell it on .....which I've since regretted. Your build is getting my interest back in tackling this one again .

You shot down their balloon , now you're asking for nice stuff .....just saying .
