I've parked the williams FW07 in the garage for the time being. I need to finish the mclarens but I've bitten the bullet and driven the lancia delta onto the bench but discovered that I need a bigger bench 🤣🤣

Despite the heat the williams FW07 is coming along. First time spraying aluminium which turned out ok. I had a decals sheet turn up from China, fingers crossed they'll go down without too much trouble.

After not buying any kits at the show on Sunday I have caved and bought this kit off evilbay.

Well, that's the williams fw07 engine pretty much done, just need to tidy up the exhausts once the glue has hardened. The 'good year' on the tyres is painted on, so that will be fun to do.

Before I break something else off or leave more fingerprints in the still hardening gloss, I'm calling the Tamiya Ferrari F189 done, finally. A nice kit with a nice amount of detail throughout.

Whilst waiting for the Ferrari F189 gloss to harden I've started the williams FW07, yet another tamiya kit from 1980 with no issues.

Afternoon all. I've finally smoothed the finish and lost the edges of the thick tamiya decals. Just need to let it harden off then I can finish it ready for the club show next Sunday 🤞

A nice afternoon listening to jammy spurs avoiding relegation again. On the plus side I've got the decals down on one of the mp4/4s. This has got to be one of the most iconic liveries in F1. Still have the rear wing and other bits to do but couldn't resist decalling.

Afternoon all, despite the heat I have managed to get the main bodywork sprayed, a bit of touching up needed on one but other than that all good

Evening all. The mclaren mp4/4s are coming along slowly. Wheels on tonight, just the seats to then onto the fun part.

Snagged myself a decent bargain on evilbay last night. Another kit from my teen model making past that I'll hopefully do a better job on.

I'm going back into car building and these mclaren MP4/4s are first to be finished before a fresh kit rolls onto the bench.

Calling the tamiya 1/48 jagdtiger done for now, nice factory fresh finish. It might get weathered at some point.

Remembering the late, great Eric Morecambe, who was born 100 Years ago today.

Calling the camo scheme done on the jagdtiger, might have gone a bit mad with the dots but am I bothered lol. Decals and tools to do then it's pretty much done.

Evening all, another figure finished. This is afro samurai and i definitely wouldn't mess with him.

Evening all. The witches are taking another breather 😂 I've got the afro samurai underway now. I've decided to go 'kill bill' with the trousers due to the stripes. So far so good on this enjoyable figure.

Evening all. I'm back on the 3 witches on a broom vignette. Nearly finished the back witches and the cat hanging on for dear life.

Another bust finished and off the bench. Gimli's angry cousin and his little peacemaker.

Calling the Japanese sword lady done now. Another enjoyable bust to do with a few lessons learnt.

Well, that was a fun evenings painting with some pleasing results.

Another bust on the bench as military is taking a backseat at the moment. A few different textures again and still a challenge ahead with this one

Evening all, Calling this lovely lady done now. It has been a nice bust to do with various different textures, metal, feathers, skin and dragon.

I've been winging it the last few days and it has been a fun bust so far.

I'm actually going to try and finish a kit this month, I've got 3 ready for paint but the mojo went down the hill. This is the kit that I'm hoping will kick start the mojo and get finished

Some lovely detailed work from Rich

Evening all, a quick razor crest update. The engines are done and a bit of detail has been added here and there. Not sure what else I want to do to it other than guns at the front and glass for the cockpit. Happy modelling all

Evening all, long time away but still been busy. I've been having some fun with masking sheets. This is the revell razor crest 1/72 with a slightly different scheme.

That's the chassis, engine and suspension done barring a few odds and sods. Around about 200 parts and no major fit issues at all.

Evening all. The cars are being put in the garage for the winter so time for something different. I'm going with the thunder scammell pioneer in 1/35. Very similar to miniart in quality, detail and amount of parts, so far I'm upto 140 😬

Good morning all. The bismarck has been recycled due to sapping the enjoyment and mojo. Onto plastic and parc ferme is filling up with 2 Mclaren MP4/4, typical tamiya kit with a nice amount of detail, in need of new decals but other than that all is good and straight OOB build.

Bismarck update, lower level is nearly done barring a load of little bits to add for depth. It seems to be going together fairly well so far, the fun is still there plus plenty of dry fitting just like plastic kits.

I've finally committed to joining the 2 halves together, no going back now 😬 it seems to be sitting nice and flat which is a bonus 😀

I've been gifted this paper model of the bismarck, the scale is 1/250 and if I actually finish it it will be just over a metre long 😬 so far so good and I'm actually enjoying it, something very different. The back half is sort of done.

This is what I came to the internet for ✨ 🐓 ✨

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Evening all. WIP on the Ferrari F189. It's getting closer to the last ten laps now thankfully. Most of the decals are on and after splitting the first one I took it steady with the rest, they are from 1989 after all. Still debating whether to go with nige or an empty cockpit.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

Next to hit the bench is the tamiya Ferrari F189. I got so far with it back when I was a teen and hopefully I will finish it this time. As with tamiya, it goes together perfectly.

Well, after a week of decal application I have finally got to the finish line with the kawasaki thingy bike. It was a typical tamiya kit which was a nice change from the italeri triumph. The decals went down fairly well with a good soaking of set and sol. All in all it has turned out OK.

A weeks worth of decalling and still a couple of days to go to make sure everything is down as well as can be.

Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.

The lancia turned up today, it's rather big. I don't know why I'm surprised as it is 1/12 scale but it will take a bit of painting. Hammer for scale as i didn't have a banana 😉

Kawasaki update, pretty much everything is fitted. Some wires and a few odds and sods to go, plus the fairing and it'll be good.

I really need to keep away from evilbay 🤣🤣 this seems to have fallen into my basket.

Update on the kawasaki, so far so good. A typical tamiya kit, nice parts, instructions that are easy to follow. The decals around the wheels were fun but by the last one I'd got a method.

I appear to have just bought this on evilbay 😃😃

I've got the tamiya Kawasaki ZX-RR on the bench now. Typical tamiya, nice instructions, no fit issues just slightly too thick decals 😕 engine is done and in the frame, onto the swing arm and everything else in between.

Good evening all. I had good evening yesterday, I won the club competition with my entry of the triumph 3 HW. There was a table full of cracking builds and I was more than happy to have won. Here are the top three builds.

I'm calling the triumph done before anything else goes wrong with it. All in all a fairly decent kit despite its age, other than the moulds being out and everything taking on a slightly different shape to what it should be. I've lost count how many coats the tank has had due to various f ups.
