    ooh, a corporate summons...... on a wednesday? Hmmmmm, well this is an unexpected treat: could be innocuous or it could be an incentive to put my collection of Thompson suburbans up for sale. Either way 9am is not groovy.

      Name, rank and number, that's all you have to give. Seriously, I hope it goes well for you.

      Dunno which is worse: getting the 9am summons, or getting the heave-ho by text.

  2. Steve Taylor

      happy, having a good day, and had just had two coffees to combat the late morning "slump". Apologies for being a bit hyper. I meant it though.... lovely buffer stops.

      not a single right angle in this structure, add to this a gradient and a gradient change and oh boy my head hurts and I've a new found respect for those who do CGI/CAD wire frame work.

  7. Steve Taylor

    Progress or regress? Re-imperial-ising some of the BR wagon diags (ta muchly Barrowmore ;) )

  8. Steve Taylor

    Resucitating a wagon from my youthfull clumsyness 25 years ago -leads to me to believe Ishould be a bit more organised in the here and now - where have all the jigs gone? #moretimespenthuntingforthingsthandoingstuff

      A proper audi? Yes Please - Kielder here i come. One J-72 dismantled and reassembled square and true. Now for th eboring eight hours of the day.

  10. Steve Taylor

    sadly no ScalefourNorth this year for me. On the plus side I'm spoiled for choice with which kit to progress tomorrow instead.

    self-propelled 4mm handrail knobs: the fastest thing known to man, with the best camouflage bar none. Perhaops they could be the basis for a UK moonshot attempt?

    1. richbrummitt

      I find that these things (not limited to handrail knobs) tend to be powered by my ineptitude with the holding device.

      I fully agree that if those bloody small items must be self-propelled in the first place, they should at least propel themselves into their proper location! :-D

    so how many of you are enjoying a day off today, and of those of oyu how many will be enjoying a little extra modelling time? Spare a thought for those of us who work from home.

      spoke to soon, the tide has changed and another wave of RCH gubbins sweeps across the desk

  23. Steve Taylor

    spray tests done. Oh this automotive stuff is the way to play... if you can get the thinning right. May need a compressor with a reservoir tank though.

  24. Steve Taylor

    Springing BB w-irons and I appear to have inadvertently invented a torsion bar version! Now sorted and normal boingy-ness resumes
