#histscalemodels my first boat/ship since I was a kid, which was about the same time this tool was made. Airfix vintage classic that was fun to build despite the filling and general fit issues

Boom! Thanks to @redfivemodels.bsky.social @tonyrowntree.bsky.social @woollywings.bsky.social @almurray.bsky.social Paul, Ceri & everyone who bought a raffle ticket, build or bought a kit, merch anything…. An awesome score for an awesome cause.. same again next year?? Hells yes.

Spotted in Appledore

#histscalemodels Also. Managed to get this one finished,. Airfix Lysander, a better kit than my efforts suggest

#histscalemodels making the most of the bank holiday here in England, out of the box M3Stuart by Tamiya

#histscalemodels okay let’s get this started, first boat/ship in about 45 years .

#histscalemodels #kitoff4victory my contribution for kitoff is nearly there, with 5 weeks to spare

Exciting news, well I think it is, I've created a range of T-Shirts for #Kitoff4victory. Every purchase donates £10 directly to FinleysTouch. You can get yours here.... kitoff.teemill.com Plus it's free shipping this weekend so WNTL?

Uncanny.

@wardxvi.bsky.social must have been released early for good behaviour.

#histscalemodels slow progress with the Lysander, not sure where it’s going to live when I finish it, quite the wingspan

Insane news from Ward XVI The new single ‘Blood is the new Black’ will be premiered by @johnnydoom.bsky.social on @kerrangradio.bsky.social on Friday 14th from 9pm. Make sure to tune in… you’d be crazy to miss it. #sanpr #newmusic #newsingle #premiere #kerrang #kerrangradio #earache

Well that’s finished

#histscalemodels slowly coming together, Chevy and the figures need a matt coat then some pigments to get everything dusty

Quick question, I passed by the Katyn memorial on Cannock Chase today, why was this site chosen? Is it just because it’s a pine forest or was there a refugee community?

Ah, Christmas! It's when radio stations get so short of content that they let me & Big Phil loose with Rich Blunt on Primordial Radio for a 2 hour solstice special. 2PM GMT this Saturday 21st, for festive songs of Yuletide, punishing naughty chidren & blood sacrifice #metalsky primordialradio.com

Christmas supply delivery, will any of it last until then?

#HistBookChat Well I won a thing !! courtesy of the monthly draw from #HistoryRage podcast, will make a nice change from the usual military history fare

Give our music a spin… who knows… you might just like it. #rockband #ukmetal

#histscalemodels finally calling this one done, 1:35 Mastiff2 from Meng

Bands are slowly finding their way on to Bluesky. If you're in a blues/rock/metal bander anything inbetween, or know of any who should be included in our starter pack, please let us know. #NewRock go.bsky.app/FZ3MidJ

Blue sky is now complete with RAF Luton photographing from it’s Canberra

The end is nigh….

Ward XVI is a unique theatrical ensemble known for its immersive performances that blend dark storytelling with captivating visuals. 
Influences include: Alicecooper Skindred, @ironmaiden.bsky.social Avatar, Ghost @inthismomentbrs.bsky.social

OK, I'm bringing out the big guns to test Bluesky engagement😀 Repost & follow to be in the draw! One randomly selected person will get this signed (& dedicated) copy of the Locked Library special edition of THE BOOK THAT WOULDN'T BURN.

#HistScaleModels well just about managed to squeeze one of the Airfix club kits in for this year

Got roped into helping with Ferring scarecrow display

#histscalemodels making progress with the mastiff

Bit of a curates egg this one. Quite pleased with the masking and polishing the seams out but there is silvering on the decals which I don’t normally get and the weathering isn’t there yet

#histbookchat just came across this publication. No covers, but the page headers are marked Bomber Command, appears to be the official history up to July 1941. Odd to notice the paper quality used, much better than publications later in the war.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,900,246!

Select # Feeds from the left hand panel in BSky, search for histscalemodels feed and like / pin it to appear on your home page.

Inspired by @jaaaagirr.bsky.social and recent group builds, I've created a new custom feed, Histscalemodels for the scale modeler community. Please share stories and photos of group builds, finished and not so finished projects, tips & advice, and of growing stashes of unopened boxes.

Just tried using some glass files on the models, add a shiny polished. finish . Supposed to be equivalent to 10000 grit paper . Am I late to these things?

A rare foray into aircraft,

And like buses. Nothing for ages then two together, nothing in progress now. Choices choices

Great little kit, went together no problem, Airfix are definitely improving

Who are the folks on here that are interested in scale modelling of any genre so that I can follow you…please retweet if you know me…it’s a much smaller space than X but a much nicer one I think…

#WHEF 4

Finally calling this finished, British cruiser A10 MK1.a CS in 1:35 courtesy of Gecko. started this back in February
