Glamor shots of the jeep; figure below. Just finishing up the base and this little scene will be all done. 👍

This mornings waning crescent moon #moon #astronomy

She's a beautiful Garden Spider, Araneus diadematus, Jim, coming towards the end of her life - before winter she'll lay her eggs in a silken sac and then die. More information in our Factsheet4 at britishspiders.org.uk/factsheets

My garden seems to have quite a few of the critters webbing around, the webs are like 2ft wide.

Please explain this, a small part, a towing hitch fell to the floor, I watched it go down, fortunately I could see it go all the way. A 3 foot drop and it bounced over 6 foot away, its literally 4mm x 4mm in size. No wonder we never find anything

One from academy next. 1:35 Ambulance #histscalemodels #scalemodels

And another Tamiya 1,35 SAS Pink panther 👍👍 #HistScaleModels #Scalemodels

Maldon, Essex. Well done. Impressed with your quiet charm.

Not much building of late, been doing a decorating job on a house that hasn't been touched since the 70's, its like walking back in time It's a friend of mines father. Went in the loft to put some ceiling braces in, under the insulation was this relic. 4p....

Does it ever end, 2k per year per parking space for business that provides parking for staff. Firms will get up and go, this will be passed onto staff ffs. BBC News - Leeds city centre staff parking levy could help fund tram network - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anyone having a pop at this, its a quick turnaround, finished builds have to be done by the 28th October. I've ordered the landrover, they are only charging £9.99 for each kit with free p&p

Some pre-shading done. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

#HeaviesGB progress update … I may not have any propellers at the moment but this Liberator project is coming together… and no tail-sitter either!! #HistScaleModels

With having now also a Sunderland landed for #HeaviesGB, and a Fortress, a Stirling and a Liberator well underway: Let's put Mavis next to them all in 1/72, she turely was a beast. Ignore the decades old Liberator finish, I need to revisit her at some point. #histscalemodels

#HeaviesGB #histscalemodels GWH 1/144 Avro Vulcan. Operation Black Buck 1982.

Sanding the beast outside. Normally I don’t risk things out here as small parts could fall through the deck and be gone forever. No small parts on this thing. Also picked up some new colours as I now plan to do this in its 1964-1972 vintage which is when my dad served. #heaviesGB #histscalemodels

Last ones including the reference aircraft. Shorts Sunderland #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels #scalemodels

A few more images for #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels #scalemodels Short Sunderland

Well I'm calling this one done, the italeri 1:72 Short Sunderland MKIII. Having done a bit of research I modelled mine on one of the subject images, it will be in the photo call. Kit went together really well...the antenna...another matter. Enjoy #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels #scalemodels
