  1. Looking great. Really like the 'chipped Zimmerit' effect.
  2. Nice job on the plane and the pilot. Very nice.
  3. Could see a bit of scratch work with the front end of something like an AIM-7 being necessary to sort this. Does seem a strange oversight when it's so prominent.
  4. Lovely build Ivan. I'm with you on a LSP sized Viggen, would love to do one in the splinter camo.
  5. Stunning build Wouter and the quality of the exterior photos does it true justice.
  6. Always a shame to get the old felines 'modified' but it saves a lot of grief in the long run. Our old cat had to be put down a wee while back at 19 years old and we miss her terribly but with 2 Jack Russells it's not fair to get another cat at the moment. Great work on the drive line. It is getting a bit crowded in there though!
  7. Insane! Nuts! Unbelievable! I'm not sure what other adjectives to use but this is just wonderful to observe. If it comes out anywhere close to your Spit it will be off the scale.
  8. Hope you enjoyed the haggis Carl. I love it but it's often best to let guests try it before you tell them what's in it! Anstruther and the East Neuk of Fife is a lovely part of the world. My wife is from just a bit further down the coast so I know that area very well. Some great golf courses as well if you're that way included. Personally I'd agree with the apocryphal Twain quote about it being a 'good walk ruined' but that's probably just because I'm crap at it. Glad you enjoyed the whisky. There are just so many to try although now many are branching out into craft gins as well. Chuck some botanicals in the spirit and you have something to sell in 3 months rather than the years the whisky takes!
  9. Wouldn't like to hit a Moose in any 'normal' sized car. Friend of mine hit a decent sized Red Deer stag and it wrecked his car. He was doing about 75 mph at the time though.
  10. Don't know what it is but the front end of these always makes me think of a catfish!
  11. Hope you have a great day Maru
  12. Done the Trumpy Mig-23MF and it's a decent build. Not perfect but with a bit of research you can work out the pitfalls and get on top of them. Over time I've found the landing gear sags a bit but I think that's more to do with the wacky design rather than the kit.
  13. That's a book title I didn't expect to ever see in print!
  14. Could be a short game of curling when that 'stone' meets another in the house Martin! Where the hell do you find this stuff? The problem with curling now is that it's lost it's original purpose which was to hang around outdoors at a Bonspiel for long enough to necessitate the drinking of large quantities of whisky to keep yourself warm. God knows how many Scotsmen fell through the ice of frozen lochs back in the old days when attempting to get home.
  15. Remember driving our campervan down near Greymouth in South Island, New Zealand and seeing a big sign at the side of the road which basically said 'if you see a Possum please run it over'. Just about drove off the road laughing!
  16. Great work with the resin casting Bill and that scratch seat looks great.
  17. Ah, you sampled the deep-fried Mars bar then?! You don't get to be the heart-attack capital of the world without effort! As someone who works in the health service and sees the end results it's unfortunately true that we can find ways to deep-fry just about anything.
  18. Nice Ivan, you can't beat a bit of Mr Claypool and co. Suitably weird for this current thread as well!
  19. I do like the Maketar masks although the roundels can be fiddly. Those are fairly simple ones though so hopefully all will be well.
  20. Nice looking choice of scheme. It'll certainly test the old airbrushing skills!
  21. Nice, what's the plan for the tracks? Are you going to use some of the 'blackening' solutions available?
  22. Wow, that seems early for snow even for you guys' latitude? Here in Scotland even October is pretty early for any snowfall other than in the mountains.
  23. Great figures Iceman. Just what scale are they? If they're LSP scale I'm giving up right now!
  24. Wings on is a big step for you Jeroen given some of your recent projects!
  25. Thanks for that Cees. Timing isn't set yet and the new headache is whether we'll need an international permit to drive on the continent after the March farce.
