Just resuming a project I started ten years ago. Hopefully there will be progress in the next few months…

I was at my son’s doing some essential DIY for him (supposed to be putting up shelves). I looked to see these on the picture ledger - figures I did more than 50 years ago! French Imperial Guard. The Lancer is a Stadden “Standish” metal kit. The Chasseur is a Historex kit.

So yesterday me and The Lads (13 & 15) potted along to the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington to the museum’s first model show. Purchased were made…tanks: Panther and T34, and work building them started when we got home…

Off to Elvington shortly with The Lads to the YAM model show. The York modellers are set up ready (and have been since early this morning)

Valley Bowmen, Metham near Huddersfield. A lovely shooting ground (even though you shoot uphill)
I’ve did a bit of field archery with my longbow in the distant past.
We had an hour of do on the archery field this morning and my lovely lady was on fire: not only every arrow in the gold, every one’s within the 10 ring within the gold!

Oh tell me about the age of the kit! I have 4 in the loft (with a similar number of Vosper MTBs), which to my shame I’ve not built (bearing in mind I make figures for them).
I’m using the hull of the RAF HSL to make a Motor Anti-Submarine Boat - but it’s not gone very far.
Great work with a challenging kit!
(I need to get my unmade kits out of the loft to do…)
Obviously you need a bigger picture!

Oh, I think an objective assessment would be adequate…just.
But it’s old skool fun stuff when you bought a model, took it home, shook the box and built what came out.
Job done, straight out of the box, using glue and paint from the box.
An impulse buy from Lidl (food store) and I think it’s the first Spitfire I’ve built since the Frog MkXIV and Flying Bomb was first issued. I might do a bit of extra fettlin’ over the next couple of days.
