RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted December 24, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2012 Oh no, we're not going to get Jeff in duplicate over Christmas are we? You may well do! I'm not very good at scanning web pages on a mobile - but at least it lets me keep an eye on what you lot are upto! Having just read the MR review of the B17, I may have to order more than one...

RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted December 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) A band. Well, I am not musical but I could do the PA. Andy, I have a young friend who is an excellent bass player by choice, makes his living by it, so I am not sure he would appriecate being called a failed guitarist, neither would John Entwhistle, but as neither read this I suppose you are safe. Jeff I know it is Christmas, but back to modelling. One of the delights of this hobby is that when you get bored doing one thing wish to excercise a different modelling skill there is always something new to do. That is why I have a lot of projects on the go at once. ('a lot' -an engineers counting term for more than 3) In between and while I am doing them, I am also populating my railway. It can be rather trying to be painting people as you only need to use small amounts of paint in one go as everyone's clothes will be different, unless you are painting hands & faces or railway staff. Therefore they are always at hand and if I have only a small amount of time I am likely to paint people. (Still have not got very far filling up 3, or is it 4?, workman's coaches with slate miners, but that is another story.) So my question is, in between all the big projects of building your hillside, laying the rest of your track, finishing the wiring, test running, ballasting, making your river, scratch building the station and various other buildings, are you going to be painting people or will you cheat and buy them ready painted? Happy Christmas to you and all the other Loon Lunesters. Edited December 24, 2012 by ChrisN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted December 24, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2012 EXCELLENT post, Chris. Re. bass players, one of my heroes is Geddy Lee from Rush - a great bass player. Remember, Andy often says things tongue-in-cheek! Other than the small number of tasks you've outlined for me (!!) I may buy some white metal figures and paint the.. More options that way. Haven't done anything like that since painting Airfix figures years ago. Very slow typing stuff via phone keypad, but warmer as I can do this indoors. 2013 should be a busy year. All the best. Jeff 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythocentric Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Hi Jeff and fellow Lunesters Just caught up with the band idea. Excellent idea and I would like to put my name down for the position of 'the other one'. A traditional and vital position in any band. For instance there's Status Quo with Francis Rossi, Alan Lancaster, Rick Parfitt and the other one. Then there was Free with Paul Kossoff, Paul Rodgers,Simon Kirke and the other one. Finally of course there was Deep Purple, the most famous of the lot, who had so many ‘other one’s’ they’ve got an entry in the Guiness Book of Records. I'm quite presentable and come complete with my own black Stratocaster. I've even got the same hairstyle as Mr. Gilmour! After all with the esteemed Andy P on lead how fast (oops!) I mean how can it go wrong? Regards Bill Edited December 24, 2012 by Mythocentric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted December 24, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2012 The question is, Bill, can you play the guitar as well as the person you resemble? I reckon that collectively we could teach the world a bit about modelling. Not sure about the music though!! All the best, Bill. Bill ps. It's nice to have a break from practical modelling - though I continue to scheme! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
67A Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Hi Jeff, Thinking of the band and suppose I'll have to apply for position as the 'Roadie' in my usual slot of 'all work and no play'. Have a great time over the hol's to all. Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Jeff, As far as bass players go I was, (hopefully) keeping it in the light vein that we are all used to. Figures: I assume you know all the usual suspects like Langley & Monty's Models plus Aiden Campbell but there is a newer set from Pete Goss if you do not mind figures with short legs. There is also Mike Pett whose figures look very good but are turn of the century, 20th Century that is. (You have to write to him and send him a cheque which I have been meaning to do for weeks so that my wife/sons can give them to me at Christmas.) Scalelink (?) used to do some but I have not been able to find them recently, and there are a couple of others. Sorry but I am a bit obsessive about figures, It is what comes of scouring the internet looking for the late victorian ones; I even follow a war gaming site to try and find soldiers in more peaceful poses not killing each other.

It's nice to have a break from practical modelling - though I continue to scheme! Weeelllll! I can run through my scales and still have (approximately) the same number of fingers afterwards. As for resembling the hallowed one, I'm afraid that stops at the hair! Come to think of it modelling is way more fun, plus you get to sit down doing it. I actually started a goods shed (Holmfirth) this morning then the family, including the Canadian contingent, arrived so I got dragged off to see Father Christmas by the grandkids. I am now officially kn*****red! Scheme on and prosper Bill Edited December 24, 2012 by Mythocentric 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted December 24, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks Mike and Chris.... Honorary roadie you shall be, Mike - though when you hear me sing you'll want to take over! Chris - I've come across Langley and Monty's and being unimaginative that's what I'll probably use. It'll make a change from using a multimeter or soldering! Anyway, it's nearly time for Father Christmas so I'll wish you all a great day tomorrow. Enjoy whatever you do!

Peter Kazmierczak Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Just back from church; cup of tea in hand. Need to get the mince pie and glass of milk out for Santa, plus the carrot for Rudolf of course. Hopefully Santa will have brought me half a dozen railway books when I get up tomorrow. Hope the Looney Lunesters get what they wish for too. Compliments of the Season! Peter Cheers Bill. Relax and recharge! Goodnight....... Jeff Oh no, he's doing it again. Doing it again.....
