I am guessing most of, if not all, is scratch built. Have thought about a 1/200 ship but it is just the price of the things. The kits are about £300, then you need to get a detailing set for another £350, and then there is usually another addotional set for them too so you are looking at about £1000. Most of that tends to be photo etch which is an absolute pain to do especially railings. All too often you can spend ages doing stuff that will never ever be seen (see pics below). Then you have to find somewhere to put the things. All ready getting those where the eff are you going to put that looks from the Mrs.

I do have 1/144 scale kit of a U-Boat (the one that is in Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven) with a full interior that is about 50cm long.

The current plane kit has this interior but almost none will be visible.

You can get kits of ship gun turrets in 1/72 which are quite chunky. It is bad enough with the neighbours complaining about the ark we are building in the garden!

[dcyper]

Did your autocorrect change hopelijk en woensdag?

Done quick and dirty...


Edit from this noon
Due to bad weather the flight will be a shorter one.
At the coast the fog is still heavy.
So dont think i will see them.

Edit from 15h30
Heard him fly over, but to much fog to see.
There was a polish an american invited, were supposed to do a tour of belgium together.
But they each went for a different destination - ours had destination Ostend - and came together for a final landing of ours in florennes.
And apparently in Ostend, only 20 km away, the sky was clear.
But i was working... so couldnt leave home.

Not exactly been exciting here at the llama stable. Dreich weather, a bit of shopping and ordering a new front door. The wooden front door is showing its age. I installed it about 25 years ago to replace the crap one the house was built with. Just too big a job to do now as it isn't a standard size.

View of the Forth Valley this morning. 08:30



And another from a bit later. 09:50

Nice view, water and mountains

Thanks but no water there just mist in the valley! It did look like that though. The river Forth is there but just visible from where we are. Today there is no view just fog!

Went to the Strasbourg christmas market

What a beautiful building. It is amazing how complex some old buildings are for the time they were built especially some of the old monasteries.

That is well done! One of the Special Interest Groups for next year is kit bashing. I had thought of taking an HMS Victory kit I have and adding some wings, rockets and bombs. Now thinking....
