I know we're supposed to keep it light and non-political . But can I PLEASE ask for prayers for the MiG-29 pilot known as The Ghost of Kyiv ... And please, PLEASE pray for those who are under fire for nothing less' than living in the wrong place. Asking for prayers is all I can...

Indeed so! Wouldn't be bad if they also got hold of F-Toys' MiG-29C 9-13, to produce a 1/144 release...
Given all that is happening world wide, I hope everyone is OK. As I'm in an at risk group it looks like I may get ordered to self isolate. As I never got round to set up an internet connection at home (always used my old apartment or the office) I have been using the local...

From that, I gather you should never spray your models with Tamiya rattle cans unless you live outside of California or, if you are unfortunately a resident of Los...

In my youth I used to work as a modelmaker for architects and we would get “dichlo” delivered in 12 litre glass jars. One fellow dropped a jar in the paint room and smashed it. The fumes melted his sinuses and cured him of hayfever for the rest of his life 😵
Anyone experiencing package delays from Japanese vendors?
I placed an order with Lilliput Air Force .
Package was shipped March 25, 2022.
No tracking number.
Sent him an email to ask if he shipped air or surface .
TIA,

Yes. I ordered something in January that just arrived 2 days ago.
Spring is cold in London.....
I'm not referring to any scientific data of the weather, but to the keeping of the coat, by the Scots Guards training for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, just a month away....

I buy 90% of my kits on ebay and for many years I have had good service from the ebay/PayPal team.
As far as I know ebay owns PayPal .
I went to make a purchase on ebay and I could not find a PayPal option.
Anyone know why I can't use Paypal for ebay purchases?
Does not make...

I don t what happened last night but on my desktop the ebay checkout page looked totally different with no PayPal option for three different items from three different sellers. Only credit or debit card options. Maybe a Google Pay too?
Just checked one of the items I was looking...
When Australia became interested in the Mirage III, the current production model was the Mirage IIIE and this aircraft was to form the basis of the Australian Mirage. Obviously the Australian Mirage could not be designated IIIA as that was already taken, but...

Thats very good. the French do think in English far more than they like to admit.
a while back, I worked for a very big international water processing services company called ONDEO.
On De O.

I'll preface this post by saying I'm not going to mention The Ashes to all my friends in England, and I don't mean to get any Kiwi members offside. Today was a huge day for Bangladeshi cricket, as they finally beat another Test-playing nation away from home, with an 8-wicket win...

I thought you said you wouldn't mention the Ashes?? Anyway well done the Aussies.
Merry Christmas to everybody in or reading this forum!
After the traditional songs and Messa di Gloria from Puccini (always great!) it's now Faireytale from New York on the loudspeakers!
We're good - wish you all the same - have a good time!

Wishing every member and their family all the very best for a happy Christmas and a most prosperous New Year (particularly on the model workbench). And, of course, stay safe, one and all. :D
7 weeks til Xmas and just retrieved the tree and decorations from the loft although not putting them up for a couple of weeks. Got me thinking though. What Xmas movies and music do you favour.
I've given some initial thoughts to movies. The music is a larger topic .

Always liked this Christmas song for this segment:
Said Santa to a girl child What would please you most to get?
A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet
And then away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Sabre jet.
I’m sorry. I know this sounds old and grumpy, but I just don’t get it.
What is the premise? Given how expensive the kits are, what is the appeal? Do people wargame with them? Is there a series or something these come from? How would you begin to choose between the literally...

If you can find older copies of the Hobby Japan modelling/trade magazine they used to have page after page of Gundam dioramas often posing the mobile suits with scratch built vehicles such as the submarine carriers and a kind of land ship amongst other designs. I think they...
I'm not ragging on train hobbyists. Really I'm not. I appreciate not only their dedication but also that the 1/150 scale can offer the 1/144 modeller additional resources of vehicles, figures and structures
But why - WHY - are the majority of the remaining bricks and mortar...
Did not know a USMC F-35B squadron (VMFA-211) was assigned to the HMS Queen Elizabeth's airwing.
According to wiki , VMFA-211 had been working alongside 617 Squadron at RAF Marham since September 2020.

Pretty difficult to get inebriated on that ration. Definitely a case of don't drink it all at once. :shock:
Missed the launch but caught the landing and passengers (can't bring myself to say crew) getting out. Well they finally got Captain Kirk into space and into the record books as the oldest to go up. Pitty it wasn't actually into space although the Karman line is 62 miles so ok...

And they only got three minutes up there. Come on guys if you're going at least give them an orbit. One lousy orbit.....

For those familiar with the Ladybird books, inter unit rivalry and some nuanced points of British culture, you may find this amusing - if you are not, then shrugs try and keep up ;)

Oh that was good. I needed a good laugh. The one on Covid had me in tears.
By way of background the last time I was job hunting was back in 2003/2004. Back then all I needed was a CV and 2 references. And even then they didn't contact my referees.
Now I'm just about sorted with a job at an international corporation that deals with insurance claims and...
Been interviewing for a new job recently and finally got the offer and accepted it. Commercial litigation solicitor. My speciality is more towards property and construction litigation. Will mean travelling nearly 50miles there and back each day....

Nice set up.
I'm not sure I am sufficiently disciplined to not spend increasing time on the other end of the bench. A little sanding now and then would become a full blown project.
If I go the remote route I am going to have to keep the office space work only. Pretty much...

Totally agree, Tim, particularly with the link to a future US President. Despite having a pretty decent grounding in WW2 history, I'll put my hand up and say that I hadn't come across the Chichijima Incident before. Gruesome stuff.
