I like too many things to mention. History, beer, cricket, rugby, make models badly, play golf even worse. Sometimes ride on two wheels sometimes with an engine sometimes without. Don't take things I say seriously

Hobby mio metallic paints via AliExpress are fantastic. Really nice consistent straight from the bottle. But although the chrome is good it doesn't quite have that realistic pop. I tend to use a chrome pen for mirrors etc

Hey @hushkit.bsky.social do you think Western fighter range and dependence on tankers is a big disadvantage compared to Russian/China fighters or is it like having access to lager on tap?

To be fair Donald Plesence served in second world war and was a real PoW so I'd be happy with that reality

Surely if it were Pelhams lane we'd see trinity church in the background?

Looked again definitely earlier!

Would that be bank passage? Not sure of the year though. Best guess would be 1950 but possibly much earlier

As I get older I have the same thoughts just mixed in with thoughts of oh f*CK it and does it matter I'll die anyway. Which is clearly my brain trying to work out if it's 20 or 60

Yes I've heard there's groups where people just troll members for their "poor" modelling skills, without being any good themselves.
Not for me!

Me neither. And I've never felt like I've missed out on something

Why do click bait headlines always say "exact date" x is going to happen? Surely a date is exact? Is 11th April 2025 vague?

Maldon road looking down towards creffield rd/ Beaconsfield ave. That's Maldon road garage opposite

@jellyjudith.bsky.social I've booked hotel for the conference! Can't wait to ask you to remind me what I'd ordered! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hey it's super Saturday I'm watching rugby while drinking lots of beer (correct emphasis). But I'm looking at random news and I can't help think there's been a big right shift from a click hungry news media

Got mine yesterday. Great read as always

This was the first diorama I've made without just putting the model on a grass /mud base. Really enjoyed making it.

Yes great kit and it's good in a diorama

No I'm sure it wasn't. Something I thankfully didn't experience. But we seem to be becoming less tolerant all the same even here. But don't worry I'll still follow you! ๐Ÿ˜€

I'm looking to change who I follow on here. I like people having different opinions. It widens my views. But many -even some I agree with want to argue over aggressively to punish those who disagree

Does anyone else who is watching the boxing notice the irony of the constant apologies for bad language while you unashamedly watch two people trying to inflict a state of unconsciousness on the other?

I used an electric mitre saw. Just chuck the wood in and clean cut in seconds. Found it easiest on the ground rather than a bench. Cut a "master" length use that to mark others of same length

Fairly easy if you have the right tools and do a bit of prep

Winter Sunday afternoons used to be good for playing board games with my children. When they were young it was monopoly or cluedo. Now as adults a rare chance to play a game. But now it's something so complicated I have no idea what I'm doing or what the objective is! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I've started to use them for weathered paint in a well worn (not chipped) area applied to tiny areas with a micro bud. So it looks like the paint is so thin the metal is coming through
