WOW!! No sign of any printer deposition patterns there!

Looking great. Do love the M4 with that big schnoz!

Sounds great Mike but I'm not seeing the pics. Anyone else the same?

Nice work on such a fiddly job.

Neat job cutting the PE. Great to see this back in progress.

Got to have the correct inflation mechanism though...

WTF? Surely that's a 'what if' isn't it?

Yeah strange choice Harv. Would be a bit like using 'Death Drive' by HMLTD for a car ad?!

Glad to hear your wife is recovering well. Back problems are never good but at least this sounds like a good fix. Wrt the smells, how does the AK thinner smell? I tend to thin Tamiya with Mr Levelling Thinner and it smells way more than the paint.

Still think that, Gimme Shelter and Paint it Black are the best things the Stones ever did

Hope your wife ok Danny and it wasn't anything too serious.

Congrats Martin. Rammstein and July Talk - cool choices. Canada has produced some cruelly underrated bands over the years - Rush, The Tragically Hip and now July Talk.

Nice scratch work!

That's a cool kit Rob. Never really explored the Sci-fi kits but having seen this and some of the Bandai stuff the quality seems high and the subjects interesting. I see another potential money-pit ahead!

Thanks for the feedback Danny. Will invest in a few to give them a try.

Wow Danny that's a serious investment but nicely packaged. Never tried them but I understand they're acrylic lacquers, so are they similar to the Tamiya ones?

Yeah, the Greeks do a great line in grubby airframes. Pity they only fly the single seaters as this is one kit where I'd really go for the dual-holer. Never built a KH kit and I know they have some real Marmite reviews but this one will be seriously tempting.

Ah, the old finger print camo. Definite favourite in my youth as well! Still happens occasionally now....

Ernie, that's an oddball kit of an oddball airframe! Looks interesting though and nice to see someone making these weird Italian birds.

Great news Harv. Hope the neurologist gets to the bottom of things. Actually that would need to be a proctologist.....

Interesting watch, although not a lot of really new material. Was interesting to see just how far they went to conceal the bodies though, trash bags, cans, etc. I have no idea of US law but here in the UK a few folk from NASA and Morton Thiokol would have been potentially facing manslaughter charges in similar circumstances. Poor guys like Boisjoly got hung out to dry to save asses further up the line but Feynman knew they were right and was able to show it at the commission hearing. Hearing the Smith family lawyer speak and re-watching the footage of the crew walking out does make you think that he was definitely not happy with things. Brave, brave people - as was famously said 'it's a sobering thought sitting on top of the world's biggest firecracker when you know every component underneath you has been chosen for being cheapest on a NASA tender exercise'!

That's a lot of PE! The springs look amazing like that.

Certainly hope it's nothing as serious as that Harv. We have a pretty terrible incidence of that up here in Scotland and they reckon it's partly linked to lack of vitamin D due to the lack of strong sunshine. Kind of fits as incidence is high in Scandinavia as well, but our melanoma rates are going up as well, so go figure that one! Congrats on passing 1000 posts as well!

Sorry to hear that Harv. As I work in the NHS here I have no understanding of your healthcare system but I think that's an over-reaction. We now routinely MRI virtually everyone irrespective of whether their pacemakers, leads, stents, etc are listed as 'MR safe' or not and with no detriment to anyone. Hope you get the scan soon. I'm blessed that I never get headaches so I can't imagine the torment of having them almost permanently.
