Challenger 2  main battle tank    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_2

[Doug K]

I've a weird mash-up of a Matchbox Tempest and a PM Sea Fury about to be decaled.

Basically using up some old bits from 2 not very good kits (though I have always had a soft spot for the Matchbox Tempest).
I've reused the Centauruses in numerous other builds (hence the left over Sabre nose from the Defiant build earlier in the year).

Scotaidh,  yup as Rheged said its an airfix 1:35 Challenger 2 real world, in green,  as part of my All the UK tanks used project.

So...TOG II* will be in there?  Or is that more Royal Navy

[McColm]

My version of the Avro Stork , using the Airfix Avro Shackleton MR.2 and the Monogram Grumman Albatross.
Plus spares.
I have removed the bomb bay and flattened the underside. The Stork has the tail and wings from the Albatross. All the other main parts will come from the Shackleton.

scooter,   TOG is rather a long way off but is something id like, its a plan that tends to slowly proceed, as its neither urgent, overpowering or very serious,  just " id like to do this" and a general end destination

Sort of like a TOG in battle- proceeds slowly, certainly isn't urgent, overpowering or very serious.

I will say this- the TOG makes for a great scaleorama'd landship.

I believe that by "thongs", Mr. Z is in fact referring to what we in the US call "flip flops" - beach shoes consisting of a foam sole and either fabric or plastic straps which go over the insoles of one's feet (and possibly between the big and next toes) to keep them on. 

We call them flip flops because as one walks the sole of the 'shoe' stays on the ground until the entire foot is lifted, when the sole of the 'shoe' flips up, impacting the heel of one's foot, causing a "flop" sound. 

Other folks call them 'thongs' because of the strips of material - thongs - that hold them to the foot.

Mr. Z, here in the US a thong is a barely-there contraption of cloth strips draped about the waist and buttocks.  They seem to be most often worn by women seeking the attention of men so they, the women, can be then outraged by the 'inappropriate behaviour' directed at their nether regions, allowing the hapless males to be branded as "perverts". 

Why this is socially acceptable I could not say.

UK's highest concentration of thongs:

Is it just my evil mind that loves the proximity of Upperthong, Netherthong, and Thongsbridge to Brockholes ...    And here I thought that 'Brockhole' was only a Calcutta thing ...

Isn't a brockhole a badgers arse?

Well the B-36 will almost certainly have to be hung from the shed roof.  An annual dusting and de-spidering ceremony will have to be conducted.
Mrs z will stand to attention and salute while I, wearing white gloves and spit shined thongs, lower it via an intricate pulley system into a specially constricted (sic) cradle.

Can we expect edited highlights of this unique and fascinating  ceremonial event to be annually broadcast internationally; or at very least, photos posted here?

Meh, I just call them shower shoes

There is a Brockholes, not far from me on the outskirts of Preston Lancashire, I will have to look up the meaning of its name now.
