Inspired mostly by the the work of Tim 'n Emma I've had a break from the usual stuff. Full disclosure. I found a damaged 'Gundam' type model I'd built years ago at the bottom of a box and thought I might give it a refurb. The 'head' had a full rebuild - I had it figured as a 'sighting and sensor' un...

what a superb display! - space limits at 'ordinary' shows rarely give us this depth of specialist coverage on a particular theme and it's a joy to see them all together. And what a setting - I gather the museum has had some improvements in recent years - I was last there maybe ten years ago and it w...

It seems that ' don't drink paint' is too simple a message nowadays. Bought some Gunze paint the other day to find an annoying little tag taped to the jar.

Alastair - on home ground - held up the SIG's reputation by winning a well deserved First for a superb Catalina, said model also...

Agree re memories - I used to get to spend my schoolboy summer holidays at my Aunt's cottage - conveniently situated as it turned out a couple of miles from RAF Manston. The USAF were still there initially but after they left it became, amongst other things, a V bomber dispersal with QRA pads at the...

As of this writing the show is sold out so will be crowded with so many trying to get in and set up - If you are exhibiting please look out for the joining instructions (not yet out) PLEASE NOTE (1) we are only getting two seats and may have to pay for wristies at the door (concession price for up-s...
