Some Recent Builds

[NARSES2]

Thanks lads.

Strangely Nev I've not had more time since I've retired. :dum: Still doing some consultancy but getting around and visiting family and friends takes up time + I've seen more cricket this year then ever before. Off again tommorow to Arundel (Gorgeous place   ) and a couple of times over the next few weeks and I've still got the Test at the Oval to go.

Probably get more time when the good weather ends (tommorow ?   )

Do you prefer cricket to models?

Mods, please, someone must make something.

Enjoy.

Nice little bunch of kits!

Dunno about Chris, but I find that cricket and modelling are the perfect companions.

Cricket commentary in England, aka Test Match Special is a national institution, as thoroughly English as green hills, cups of tea and Spitfires.  Because of the long pauses in action between balls, cricket, conversely enough, makes for brilliant radio as it allows the commentators time to talk in depth about the match being played, and the game of cricket in general.  And when they're not talking about cricket there's always buses, pigeons, low flying airliners and winding each other up.  TMS has a light hearted, irreverent, yet still highly intelligent style of commentary.  Its basically just a bunch of exclusive-school-educated ex-proffessional cricketers having a good time.  It's kinda hard to describe if you're not English/Commonwealth and cricket isn't in your blood.

I've said it before, but nothing makes me more content and at peace with the world than having the house to myself and sitting down to do some modelling with TMS on in the background.

Test Match Special can be listened to over the internet on the BBC website

The 3rd test between England and the West Indies starts Thursday till Monday, play is 11am to 6pm, I heartily recommend you make the time to listen at some point, it is a truly iconic piece of English culture.

That P-40 and Wildcat are just lovely.
Great

Thanks for this nice lesson of civilization    

Those models rocks, I love this Greek wildcat  (Greece has such an interesting Air force!!)

Gorgeous work, though the term "Prop Splinter Group" makes me think of pranged aircraft with thoroughly busted props.

Ian

Afraid not Ian - I have to be away to a party on the evening. So if they came with me some of my mates would be playing with them by 11-00pm  

Have you noticed how some "mates" go on about "Chris's (insert appropriate name) toys" but when you see them just after you've been to the LHS they are all over the box, going "I remember my Airfix ********"   Keep telling them to have the guts and give it a go - two of them have
