good to hear from you mate - best wishes to your family S

Over 70 folk attended and there were some dogz in the mix some pics here http://www.war-clouds.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5512 Apologies that I missed flying with you, I had a family event early and then working early today so had to leave around 11 pm, but hope you all had fun and Ill let you know if another is orginised

Very moving , thanks for posting I think its a hurricane as well One point is that the german panzer crews also wore the death head as part of their uniform , many removed it to avoid comparison with the SS

I think I'm getting a tree LOL thats tree-mendous news did you pine for another to add to your shrubbery fir its a nice way to celibrate Ill log on to see how you get on Oak-ay Id better leave now while Im ahead

thanks for the kind words guys, in truth it didnt turn out just as good as I wanted but Im pleased with how it finished up and that I kept with it - it was nearly in the bin a few times. Santa is bringing me a spitfire MK1 and a hurricane MK1 as Iv been a good boy and I hope I can do these justice- Ill try to get my seams and spray painting better and Iv learnt a bit about patience and leaving things aside for a while if I get problems as rushing into these type of things just leads to more frustration. S

My latest project this relatively easy revell 1/72 should have been a relaxing build but I had to fight it all the way . 1) one set of the windows fell in when I was masking for spraying so I had to split the fuselague , putty and sand again 2) the cockpit windows cracked so I had to get a replacement 3) the decals were special order and very delicate so I had to patch a couple 4) the wheels struts were white metal which refused to glue right untill I fought with them 5) I tried to rescribe some panels and the tape lifted some paint so I had to touch that up but I like how it turned out

This is on Sunday 29th not Saturday - apologies

happy thanksgiving all S

the big hitters are LES MISERABLES and CHICAGO see here for whats on and simple reviews http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/ If you want something different then shakespeares globe theatre was reburbished a few years ago and does shows http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/ but check run times to make sure they are still on when you plan to visit

yeah - I wouldnt do US as the shipping and tax would be expensive , but is there not a spanish/portuguese version of e-bay ? there is a uk one perhaps your best bet would be to get a pc magazine that does good reviews and see what they recommend S

definatly go for a pc over a mac. a key factor in your choice is down to what you are comfortable with on after sales 1) local shop - may be more expensive initially but should be easy to deal with should problems occur 2) mail order - lots of companies offer mail order from the big companies like dell to more specialist companies. Get a copy of a PC magazine and compaire what each are offering for your price list.

trackIR is simply the best thing you can get for the game. I have TIR4 with clip but TIR3 was good enough I only got the upgrade because I got it through mission4today - my reviews are here if you wish to read more http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Content&pa=category&cid=4

Warclouds is running a special mission - high level bombing with escort and intercept - this Sunday Starts 1900hrs GMT and lasts 3 hours all are welcome , details here if interested http://www.war-clouds.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5497 I dont know if I will make it - my ISP is playing up again with the result of high pings but Ill try it on the day to see if its possible apologies this is on Sunday not Saturday - can t keep track of time in my old age

I use the revell starter airbrush and compressor http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/models/plastic-models/paints-glues/airbrushes/revell/ this cost around £100 together Im not very skilled with it but it seems a good place to start the big trick is finding paints you like and working with them

A shrubbery LOL

here is the little brother - humbrol silver was used latest is a DC-3 automotive rattle can used it needs polished then futured and should look good I would like to try alcan but the prep work is hard , everything must be perfect and my seams arnt that great so until I get the filling and sanding down pat then Ill stick to this

nice nmf

wow - superb work - Im scared to tackle biplanes for the rigging do you know of this site? http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showforum=54 and this has to be one of the finest models - well works of art I have ever seen http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21152 one example of the many photos

for those interested in aerial photographs there is a collection here http://aerial.rcahms.gov.uk/about/index.php includes RAF recon photos from WW2 of scotland and also germany, france etc e.g Cologne

did anyone else pick this up free with the Mail newspaper ( yeah I know debatable to class it as a proper newspaper ) last week?- its a 1950s series comissioned by the BBC covering WW2 maily from an RAF perspective . Its a bit pukka and a bit propegandaish but some great footage. Im working my way slowly through the 6 discs

remarkable . To stay focused and calm and to bring it down safe with so much going on is a testiment to their training and personnal strength.

For those thinking of starting out then check out these sites for helpful reviews/tips etc http://www.hyperscale.com/ http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/ http://www.swannysmodels.com/ this forum shows lots of step by

Pooka mentioned on TS that he and Mrs Pooka might come north to Scotland after Duxford. If this is the case or if any others plan to come to the best part of UK
