    A new and experimental chocolate brownie recipe has been successfully test-fired today by CTMK for the Members Day at Taunton next April. The Noble Realm will leave no stone unturned in it's quest to achieve culinary satisfaction for our esteemed visitors! :-p

      As long as we don't have to pre order for some months after the day :)

  2. Captain Kernow

    Yet another dull household task completed, but another weekend with no modelling done is nearly over - this is not the way to get a layout finished!

  3. Captain Kernow

    Got a couple of jobs done today that I hadn't been looking forward to, including putting a roller blind up (something I never like doing)! That feels good!

  4. Captain Kernow

    I was very sorry to see the Nimrods scrapped as well, Pity Coastal Command haven't got a few Shackletons left to put up there in the meantime.... ;-)

      An off the shelf US type - that isn't actually available yet, and when it is they won't let us have the software to run it due to export restrictions...

      The nimrod gap will eventually be replaced by UAVs. Either an uprated predator or a complete new build. And coastal command disappeared a very long time ago lol

      The MR4 capability was filled by Rivet Joint assets. The RAF offered the Nimrod as a candidate was cancellation so that they could retain their fast jets.

    Taunton 2011 - pasty road test tomorrow!

      Isn't a pasty out of gauge, CK?

    3. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Not all pasties are out of gauge, BD, but ours are! :-)

  6. Captain Kernow

    has started the detailed planning for the 2011 RMWeb Taunton Members Day on 17-4-11

    1. Coombe Barton

      Coombe Barton

      Does the detail include pasties?

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Most assuredly so!

  7. Captain Kernow

    Cordial Christmas Cheer from the Noble Realm!

  9. Captain Kernow

    will be heartily glad when (a) the snow has gone and (b) when I'm not on call any more...

  10. Captain Kernow

    Wondering whether it's worth clearing the snow from the steep bit of our local road (no cars have gone up or down since last night), when we are expecting more snow both tomorrow lunchtime and possibly on Sunday night....

  11. Captain Kernow

    Another low-relief building...

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      A building designed to cheer you up from a negtive state of mind perhaps?

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      It's a structure that cheers you up but a little! ;-)

    3. Kempenfelt

      Kempenfelt

      Piccies please! :-) I've actually got out my modelling bench and i'm producing a flat pack Wickham Trolley!

    CTMK is playing the theme tune to 'HR Puff 'n Stuff on her computer! I mean - what about making my tea??!! :-p

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      And Puff 'n Stuff was followed by 'Monster Mash'...!!

      I'm hoping this is an indication that she's going to start cooking the spuds soon!

    2. Kris

      Kris

      Or that everything has been burnt

    3. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      No, the mashed monster was delicious!

  13. Captain Kernow

    cardboard cassettes!

    1. Chris Nevard

      Chris Nevard

      Has coupling up BHR to Combwich driven you to this?

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      A lack of 6mm ply has driven me to this! (but the glued and laminated cassette based is setting now and seems pretty strong!)

    3. Chris Nevard

      Chris Nevard

      Clever! And probably easily tweaked on location too!

  14. Captain Kernow

    finally made some tie bars and soldered them to the points on Callow Lane...

  15. Captain Kernow

    repairing broken whitemetal signal finial - a bit of 'extreme modelling!'...

    1. halfwit

      halfwit

      Are you fixing it hanging from a cliff face then? :)

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      It felt a bit like that - it's just such an awkward thing to repair - the fact that the original was epoxied into the etched lattice doll meant that it wasn't just a simple job of removing it and fitting a new MSE whitemetal one.

    3. Worsdell forever

      Worsdell forever

      And you have refrence photos of how it looked on saturday...

  16. Captain Kernow

    I really ought to start checking the stock for the Blackburn show in a moment or two....

    1. newbryford

      newbryford

      And prepare for the long journey north!

    2. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Mental preparation began long ago!.........

  17. Captain Kernow

    I should start checking the stock for the Blackburn show in a moment or two....

  18. Captain Kernow

      running is improved if you manage not to glue your fingers to the rails at the same time

    3. Will Vale

      Will Vale

      Are you putting them on the insides too, or just the outside?

    4. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Yes, putting them on the inside and the outside. I'm using the plastic ones from the P4 Track Co, cut in half....

  19. Captain Kernow

    Stopped weathering retaining walls and girder bridges for a moment, and will now scratchbuild a couple of pizzas...

  20. Captain Kernow

    Went in to do a bit of innocent Proxy Shopping for 10800 just now, only to find stuff waiting there for me too! (mind you, one of the items was a lovely Hawksworth!)

    1. beast66606

      beast66606

      Does the word "innocent" go with "shopping" CK ?

    2. ian

      ian

      Perfect excuse. "It's not for me dear, it's 10800's...."

    3. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      'Innocent is as Innocent does', as Kenneth Branagh probably never said, Beast!

       

      Yes, Ian, that has been known to work! ;-)

  21. Captain Kernow

    Looe steam - starts this Sunday 19th Sept!

  22. Captain Kernow

    has spent the evening weathering with airbrush, only to rub most of it off again with cotton buds!....

    1. Pennine MC

      Pennine MC

      And your point is :-)

  23. Captain Kernow

    would Pennine consider a negotiated settlement with regards to his status, perhaps with an increased level of standing being phased in over 5 years?
