@johnrain.co.uk mad thought or ami going mad… have you not done Back to the Future on Smershpod? Arguable a perfect film and within your age wheelhouse? Got to be done surely!

Today’s mood…. Snoozy.

Playing Squardle today, outraged that “Fartini” is not a recognised word. #squardle

A bit of Arting today….

Hahaha Lol. Wordle 1,437 2/6 ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Remembering to make the most of the weather while it’s here. I can watch the Snooker when it’s dark!

Weekend optimism. Hundreds of bulbs planted. Aiming for a 10% success rate.

Stunning fella 😍

Blue 2; Standing by! I think this is done! #xwing #rogueone #ipms #scratchbuilding #histscalemodels #starwars #bandai #plasticmodelling

Now we’re cooking….. #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone #florywashes

3 out of 6 is a start. Now head scratching and fault finding! #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone #florywashes

Tiny tiny bloody wires! I’m sure they here is an easier way… but I will carry on sweating this one out! #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone #florywashes

All Hail Flory Washes. #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone #florywashes

X-Wing painting stage pretty much done. Next, weathering mounting and wiring up to the base. #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding #xwing #starwars #rogueone

Bumble’s mood for today….

Mask making for Blue 2 X wing… #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding

More colour on the x-wing…. #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding

More progress on the Xwing… #histscalemodels #ipms #bandai #plasticmodelling #scratchbuilding

Hahaha!!!!! Get in!!! Resistor guesswork once again saves the day! #plasticmodelling #bandai #scratchbuild #stawars #xwing #histscalemodelling #ipms

Progress. Hopefully get some colour on this weekend. #ipms #plasticmodelling #starwars #xwing #scratchbuilding #bandai #scifimodelling #histscalemodels

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Reminder to those who need it: 1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here 2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm 3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

For the curious, the wiring run for the X wing engines. It’s pretty straightforward, let me know if you need any tips . #plasticmodelling #bandai #starwars #xwing #histscalemodels #ipms

Wiring run for the engines sussed. Hooray for tiny SMDs! #histscalemodels #ipms #plasticmodelling #starwars #bandai #xwing

Next build underway. This time going a bit further back in time…. Sussing out the wiring runs for the engine lighting tonight. #histscalemodels #ipms #plasticmodelling #starwars #bandai #xwing

Just realised I hadn’t taken a photo of it in the dome (very hard to get a good shot in this light) I’ll take some proper shots over the weekend.

Bar some tweaking and possibly adding some smoke, Christmas build is done. Operation Dynamo is a success! Rather good fun this one. #histscalemodels #diorama #scratchbuild #ipms #beaconmodels #plasticmodelling

Christmas build, days 4 and 5 more colour! #histscalemodels #diorama #scratchbuild #ipms #beaconmodels #plasticmodelling

Christmas build, days 2 and 3. Painting time! #histscalemodels #diorama #scratchbuild

Christmas build, day 2. Main build done. Ready for colour! #histscalemodels #diorama #scratchbuild

Christmas build, day 1 #histscalemodels #diorama #scratchbuild

Don’t think much of the new T-1001 Terminator’s self healing sub routine….

After nearly 2 years of building, researching, scratchbuilding and swearing (on and off) the Jeep is finally done. So far, it’s my Magnum Opus, I look forward to simpler builds for a while! #histscalemodels #takom #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #willisjeep #scratchbuilding

Today’s mood…. Clingy. #catsofbluesky #cats #wfh #bumbledoodledoo

AK markers make painting wheels at 1/72 an absolute joy. I have the yellow marker which will be a godsend for painting propeller tips.

Let's have some fun! 😊 (October 1944, Burma. #WW2 #HISTORY)

Been adding a few words to my block list to get away from mentions of the old place and the man child that is running it. People here do love to bollock on about how crap it is over there but I came here to get away from all that! Crack on without me!

Other than a battery strap and a couple of bits of padding for the headlight cables, the engine bay is done. Geeks: shout if I have missed anything (I can fix that!) but not if anything is wrong (I can’t fix that!) nearly done! #takom #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #willisjeep #scratchbuilding

Throttle cable, oil can and horn added! #takom #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #willisjeep #scratchbuilding

Some work on the rectifier and the battery wire up tonight. #plasticmodelling #ipms #takom #jeep

Here’s my current WIP… still a way to go but getting there. 1/16 Takom Jeep #histscalemodels

Finally got round to doing the big book rearrangement. Now in vague categories but importantly plenty of Rome now for MOAR LOVELY BOOKS!

Hot-desking reluctance this morning. #commutinghell #hotdesk #bumbledoodledoo

Is there a way to block posts with specific keywords on this thing?

Portrait painting first attempt… work in progress. #portrait #oilpainting #portraitartiatftheyear

It’s the end times. I’ve just had to put a jumper on. #deathofsummer
