A reminder that in the last 15 years the richest 1% got 3x richer.

While everyone else got poorer.

The problem is clear.

Latest build over the line - the ICM 1/48 Bristol Beaufort Mk1a with tropical filters. Finished as a Malta-based torpedo bomber.

Itโ€™s curious that the anti-trans crowd in Scotland who always say theyโ€™re motivated by womenโ€™s rights are universally silent on the attack on a womanโ€™s right to abortion in Scotland coming from American Christian extremists. Why might that be? Iโ€™m sure we would all love an honest explanation

One thing you can say about Neville Chamberlain, at least you never suspected he either:

A, was on Hitler's side

B, had the hots for Hitler

or C, Hitler had some shit on him

Not only is Donny systematically making his country an insular paranoid insignificance like N. Korea, but handing the nations data to an unelected lunatic who favours technocracy over democracy. Every US citizen is essentially compromised, ESPECIALLY Donald. So yeah, slow clap you thick orange fuck.

Zeros seem to be the model of the moment on here. This is one of mine. Eduard 1/48. Managed to bag a silver at Telford 2023 with this effort ๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™m a journalist who has covered terrorism, murder, conflict, extremism, crime & horror for more than 30 years, and I had to stop reading the news this morning. It was just too inhuman, sadistic and cruel to bear in one go. What have we done to ourselves & the world for pityโ€™s sake? We are monsters.

Over 1,000 joined together to block the strand today outside the RCJ including @jonathanpienews.bsky.social & Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall .

We will not be swayed by the extreme sentences handed down to those peaceful protestors sounding the alarm on climate collapse โ€“ justice for the #LordWalney16

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the ยฃ232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the ยฃ14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Unlikely explanation for our season but I think this is worth a try.

Can we stop singing sectarian songs and see if our karma improves?

Confession time - I have a bit of an obsession with Phantomsโ€ฆ wish ZM or Tamiya would do some FG1 and FGR2s in 48th scale. Would love one in 111sqn markings.

Pretty annoyed about that performance. Cercle were awful. We were even worse. Shanklandโ€™s head is gone. Needs dropped for Musa or Wilson on Sunday.

Latest build. Something a bit different and well out of my comfort zone, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless! Tamiya 1/12 Honda CBR1000 RR-R Fireblade SP

My absolute favourite is my 1998 Scottish Cup Winners mirror. Itโ€™s big, a bit tatty and serves absolutely no practical purpose. But I love it!
