11.12.2025 23:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0So I’ve nearly finished this book now…the final report when I do may be brief as you’ve probably had enough by now…however…the general theme of it does have me wondering a little bit about some scale modelling today…I‘m saying no more than that…🫣
11.12.2025 22:45 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Looking through Scalemates, I’d never contemplate building a kit like this but you have to admire whoever decided to make it…I mean imagine this built…it would have to be lovely…🤷♂️😊

11.12.2025 18:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Cheers…such a nice kit I’ve now got another one for next year…and that’s something I’ve not done before apart from accessories perhaps…👍
11.12.2025 18:01 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The story so far…😊👍
11.12.2025 17:55 — 👍 27 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0Two nice deliveries today…a second AK Type HY Van kit (😊👍) and some bits from DioDump in The Netherlands…hopefully all for a Maigret themed project next year sometime…🤞

11.12.2025 13:08 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I have been thinking exactly that for a while…in the 70s & 80s there was a reaction from bands/musicians…today, not so much at all…🤷♂️
11.12.2025 10:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Thanks Jim. Monisha writes great railways books…I’ve read them all including that one. As for the other books they are on my radar!
11.12.2025 09:54 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yup they are all in the book too…👍
11.12.2025 07:07 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I had no idea that the lyric from The Specials classic Ghost Town, “Bands won’t play no more…too much fighting on the dance floor” was a reference to far right numpties turning up at their gigs and causing trouble…this is a book that keeps on giving…
10.12.2025 22:50 — 👍 17 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0I just ordered one of these thanks to a tip off from @orbness.bsky.social …it looks fantastic…😊

10.12.2025 19:09 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Some great sea defence wrangling going on today…combatting longitudinal drift by effectively moving the beach back to where it started. Oh…and some great looking rusty buckets as a modelling reference too…

10.12.2025 13:27 — 👍 28 🔁 3 💬 2 📌 0About half way through this…talk about destroying some of your rock/pop idols…🤦♂️.…jeez…reasonably argued thus far and a bit of an eye opener in many ways…judgement reserved until I finish it but jeez…it’s quite a ‘difficult’ but probably necessary read…🫣

08.12.2025 23:38 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Jeez…anyone who has gone through this will hopefully sympathise to some extent…but ’dealing’ with aging parents is quite possibly the most stressful thing that life has bunged my way thus far…I have one left & as much as he’s my dad it is often hard work…🤦♂️
08.12.2025 23:32 — 👍 18 🔁 0 💬 3 📌 0Heheh…it’s been a while since I built a tank…and I’ve never built a Churchill before so let’s see how it goes…🤷♂️😊
