1/72 Kawanishi H6K5 Type 97 flying boat model 23, allied code name 'Mavis'. Version is Yokohama Naval flying group, Solomon Islands '42. My entry for #HeaviesGB within #histscalemodels

Well, that was exciting. Surrey v Nottinghamshire, 1st v 2nd in the County Championship. The game went back and forth, must have changed my mind a dozen times as to who would win. Reader, it was Notts.

Haven't made any progress on the GB, as Kate has been keeping me occupied #histscalemodels

I don’t think most people understand how the media works in the UK. This could be a long thread. 1/

For those #histscalemodels folk I was hoping to meet again this year...it isn't happening. Unfortunately I am £130 in nonrefundables down.

Working on 3 projects at once at least ensures that curing time isn't wasted. Kate needs a bit of tidying up as new masking tape lifted some paint. #histscalemodels

#HeaviesGB #histscalemodels WIP Just to prove I am not neglecting my GB duties.

Finished up the Zuikaku flight deck segment. Jill for reference.

This took allot longer than I thought it would. As someone said, it’s a complex build. A rewarding build though. A beautiful kit if you put the effort in. In no hurry to start the other one in the box. #HistScaleModels

Kate primed. I don't think I realised at the time what an achievement it was to get her done inside 48 hours.

I am a subscriber, you should be too.

Whilst I am mostly working on Kate, I have not neglected my #HeaviesGB duties #histscalemodels

Big thumbs up to the folk going to town in bringing ancient kits up to modern standards, talking mostly to you @sensiblearchie.bsky.social . I have neither the patience nor the skill to do so. In my head as the Matchbox Halifax is from my teenage years then I shall build it as I would have in 1979.

In the meantime work continues on Kate, should get her buttoned up tomorrow.

#HeaviesGB #histscalemodels Good news on the Halifax, the decals are fine. This means Costal Command baby.

Only an idiot would also attempt to get this stash queen done as well #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels

Here we go #HeaviesGB Halifax first, as I have other WIP to get sorted before concentrating on the Lancaster. A contrast in scales. #Histscalemodels

This morning's fun and games. Arnhem, went the way it always does. I drew Allies, and just can't see how it can be won within the confines of the victory conditions. Time constraints meant we had to cut it short, but it was only going one way.

Frustration abounds. Just painted the cockpit of the Nakajima B5N2 with Nakajima interior green, as you would. Only to discover the Eduard PE set is Mitsubishi Interior coloured. Dilemma...correct or consistent 🤔

Great cricketing anniversary alert! Devon Malcolm's 9-57. Today in 1994.

In unsurprising news I didn't have any difficulty in finding the correct aircraft in the stash for the Zuikaku flight deck. #histscalemodels

Strap in, guys! This morning I wax poetic about the nature of "realism" in scale models. This thread was inspired by @sensiblearchie.bsky.social's post of a 1971 modeling magazine and it's tragically painted figures.

Mitten progress #histscalemodels

As I'm in a good mood, here's a Substack post for free! If you'd be kind enough to share the hell out of this, that would be very decent of you...10 Smallest Jet Fighters here> hushkit.substack.com/p/10-smalles...

Delivery for Badger..... #histscalemodels

Look at this....

Truth out of the mouth of a young A-level student in Liverpool. Respect youtube.com/shorts/O2xVK...

Finally finished. Tamiya's venerable 49 yo Su-122. Somewhere on the eastern front a Soviet crew are lost and pissed. #histscalemodels

Finally, a primed Mitten #histscalemodels

Prevarication halted. Finally got these built. This is easily the worst MiniArt set I have laid my hands on. Hoping the paint will hide the mess. #histscalemodels

An arrival for #HeaviesGB, I haven't built a Matchbox kit since my teens. #histscalemodels

Some more model silliness. Meng's Toon T-34. Great fun. #histscalemodels

Test cricket is still unbeaten.

Respect ❤️

Getting warmed up for #heaviesGB with this Meng "Toon". The kit has stickers not decals, which I won't use. Cue an annoying order. In stock at basket, pre-order on payment. So not in stock then 🤬 #histscalemodels

Does anyone have this set, or at the least the Short Stirling Mk1 MacRoberts Reply section. Happy to pay. For context MacRobert Trust land is all around me, and this really is a model I should be building. #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels

Not without difficulty, the weird construction is done. #histscalemodels

Go on, you know you want #HeaviesGB #histscalemodels

There has been Mitten progress amongst the egg silliness. This is a very different approach to construction. #histscalemodels

Our government is complicit in genocide

More 1:Egg silliness. I was never going to turn down a Zero #histscalemodels

Ozzy Osbourne memorial favorite story. While Sabbath was touring, occasionally slightly overboard proto-goths would show up outside their dressing rooms, light candles and pray to Satan. Osbourne would sit down with them, sing happy birthday and blow out the candles.

Today's entertainment. After a hiatus, Wavre, the sideshow to Waterloo. I played Prussia and fucked it it big time. Rookie played well and deserved his maiden victory. First pic is starting position. Second pic, the decisive end of game turn 4. After this there were no meaningful VPs for Prussia.

Off to a 40th birthday party, theme the letter G. I present the latest superhero....Guernseyman

Taken 10 days to reach this far #histscalemodels

I bought and read it, what a story. You should too.
