      I suppose it's less strenuous than hopping a riveter's body?

      Oh dear!

       

      Seriously though, its an RT Models Hudson wagon - is it worth me doing a blow by blow account on me blog?

    How about a 'WTF?' award for the worst model of the year? I've already seen a good example for the loco kit category...

      Have to agree, doubt Andy Y would take it as an award though? :(

  9. halfwit

    Heavy snow here. Just back from work. Made valiant attempt to get Land Rover stuck in deep snow on byways on way home. Failed. Land Rover kept going.

    Picked up an Airfix Model World Scale Modelling special today in smiffs - not railway related but interesting stuff nonetheless.

      The mag itself is a great read, I've learned a lot from it - and ended up buying too many plane kits.

  13. halfwit

    feels like being really, really rude!

    Drove home from work along some backroads and a green lane. All good fun with a couple of snowdrifts thrown in as well.

    1. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      Surely the green lane was a white lane?...

    2. halfwit

      halfwit

      They were all white lanes!

      Hope it's an Icebreaker !!!!!

  21. halfwit

    wonders why we have 1:76 for railway modelling and 1:72 for aircraft, military etc. Shame both disciplines don't share the same scale.

      So the model aircraft look as if they're higher up when they fly over the layout?

    3. BoD

      So no one notices if their undercarriages are slightly too narrow.

      I have a large collection of military models in 1/76 from the 70s & 80s, + some in 1/72 but that's more common now.

      Military themed layout, complete with 'finescale' explosions and shrapnel?
