Saturday evenings in the workshop sound like: -70's punk rock or stoner doom metal blasting. -air compressor humming/airbrush hissing. -cat purring in the cat chair. -a triumphant "fuck yea that looks good" as another part of my build comes together. #f82twinmustang #histscalemodels

Finally finished my 1/72 Dambuster Lancaster. Good kit, great masks, but glad to get it done and on the shelf putteringinthestudy.com/2025/05/04/a...

The Lancaster is making the heavy bomber shelf look pretty good. Memphis Belle is slated to be replaced by a ‘909 B-17, and there’s a second (new tool) PT-109 coming as well, but the back mid-shelf is still open for older builds. Wonder what’s next? #HistScaleModels

Since Brexit became a reality & the transition started (which still hasn’t finished) every stage has been a shit show. Government has been under prepared at each change & more barriers to trade imposed on imports and exports. The right wing press doesn’t write about it because it doesn’t suit them.

Decals on and washes started. The more I use the AMMO washes, the more I like them. Way more then the Tamiya panel liners.

It's a bank holiday weekend here, so I got a bit of time at the bench. I finally got around to detail painting on the Type 60 APC. I just feel really odd about painting the exhaust silver, but it's there on pretty much every reference photo.

Finished the Airfix F-80C Shooting Star, from their Vintage Classics range. I enjoyed the build, although it's an old kit and the fit is not always the best! Great decals though. #HistScaleModels

Modelling block unblocking has started. A little 1/12 scale single cylinder 125 Honda Dax engine.

A good show if you like your music brass. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

New mix out now!🎧🎵🎶 Some nice tunes for a sunny weekend. Please have a listen if you get a spare moment🙏. Should play without leaving Bluesky 🙂 #Musicsky #saltybeats #vinyl #house #raveyardshift #oldschool vimeo.com/1081079563?s...

That's it for today. Been chipping away. With some divine intervention, hot water, glue, tape, clips and filler I have the main body done and wings attached. Hopefully some magic when the filler is dry and sanding off is done, it will resemble a Tempest. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

This Weekend in The Hangar: "Who needs more Aggressor schemes? I do!" Here we feature Wolfpack's 1/48th T-38 Talon #ModelAircraft - Somewhat basic, the kit has nice details to get you a good representation of this US trainer aircraft. See my article for more: www.flypastrush.com/post/jet-tra...

Stewart Lee at Mach Comedy Festival was excellent yesterday. And, while we were filing out at the interval, two blokes in front of me said: "About half of it went over my head." "Yeah, some of his jokes are a bit intelligent, aren't they." Which was also excellent.

Due to link and length tracks I now have to paint the lower part of the Tamiya Valentine before I can progress. So far a zero swear word build. Magic. 👍 #histscalemodels

After walking past it many a time I finally noticed the flint work on my local church. Quality craftsmanship.

This is up next, I've started the build, the fitting is very dubious along with the instruction sheet. I'll post images of the conflicts in it. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

At 8pm every 4 May, the Dutch remember and honour the war dead with a 2-minute silence. Then on 5 May they celebrate Liberation Day, the day they were liberated, by Scottish Canadian troops, among others. My mother’s Scottish Sergeant, by Anna Schurer #Dodenherdenking #Remembrance @bylines.scot

Something on the side

Just spent a calm 10 minutes clearing the block in my airbrush that has been there for almost a year. Hoping it clears my model making block as well. My kit stash is overwhelmingly huge with some kits I’d love to make but I need to start with a mojo-fixer and it could be this.

My last ever visit to this place. The first time I left a model shop feeling sad.

Getting there... the undercarriage is not glued in yet. That can wait till the paint is on. Vacform canopy is just placed, not glued. #HistScaleModels

Calling it done. Will write it up tomorrow. #histscalemodels

“Starmer needs to start governing. Labour need to stop triangulating and start running the country. They are wasting the term they were given, worrying about a second one. They can do a lot of good, if they stop being terrified of losing power in 2029 and start using the power they have in 2025.”

New profile picture, big thanks to Tony @anbenn.bsky.social 👍👍

After 74 days, my new model kits have finally arrived from Japan! A NuNu Hobbies BMW M6 GT3, and a Tamiya Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS. I am super stoked and looking forward to getting them put together over the next few months!!
