Tojo, I built three Riich Models M-109's in 1/72 scale so I know what you're going through. I'm thrilled to have them though.
Sherman, great start on that Stryker! I built one of those too and had a blast!

You mean like this?
Which brings up that I got some Raging Heroes figures about a week ago. While they are quite small, they do have some decent detail. Wait and see.
Ouch and like!

Wow, Tinkerbell sure is hot indeed! Love that figure!
Chris nice start on that tribute build.
John... OUCH! I've had that happen with a 32oz framing hammer on my thumb once. Tore it right open. I feel your pain, but I commend you on such excellent progress. I wish I were there to help!

This weekend I was finally able to do something I had been wanting to do for many moons. I was able to make my monitor float!
Now I no longer have to worry about things underneath getting in the way if I need to move the monitor closer to my face for some reason.
Here is the magic behind this. The arm is made by a US company called Ergotron. The arm is quite heavy duty and I really have to shake the table hard to even get the monitor to quiver a little bit.
The adapter block in the corner is made from wood and will probably get modded a little more before I am all done with it.
This little project did manage to get some of my mojo going again.

Once again i got my Mini art Grant with interior out and had a look and once again i realised i would be punching well above my weight -)
My god where would you even start ?
After my Bentley build which was something i had to do having failed at it several times before going back 50 years i started looking at the 1970 airfix 1/24 spitfire. again something i built years ago but never tried to correct the faults like boxing in the the wheel wells or adding the missing detail. I am told the job is a lot harder now as the moulds are badly worn and you really need the Merlin from the 1/24 Hurricane as the Spit engine is so poor. the other problem would be size, where would i put it if i built it ?
I get the most fun from adding detail when i build, i like to be able to see it so putting a map table in a Lancaster doesnt do it for me
so i am leaning towards the Spitfire as its a huge challenge , i also like the new Lancia delta 1/12 but its £180 and i know if i wait 6 months it will be half that.
Just thinking out loud

Paddy, you can do it. The hardest part is just getting started and getting all the reference together. I need to get back on my Arizona build. (the 1/200 Trumpeter kit) It is horribly off on so many things that it is a scratch build around a basic structure. Part of why it has been setting for 5 years after being off to a good start. As for info, Saul is one of the best sources and if you need suggestions all you have to do is ask. Once you have solutions, I know you can build them.Once again i got my Mini art Grant with interior out and had a look and once again i realised i would be punching well above my weight -)

Uh-Oh! John's working on another Movie project! I look at those Zeppelin kits and think "How hard would it be to make a USS Akron or Macon from this?"
MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP!!!
