Kitbasher's blog: City slicker turned beach bum

[Lost Cosmonauts]

Well stuff's really kicked off today, so I have decided to  throw my hat in the ring to become new UK prime minister  My populist manifesto is as follows:

1.  Nationalise Hannants.  It guarantees its future and is in the best interests of the nation's modellers.

2.  50% discounts at all UK model shops for all forum members.

3.  PR19_kit to be limited to buying one U-2 (or other high aspect ratio-winged aircraft) kit in any scale per year to give the rest of us the chance to get one.

FROG to be restarted as the publicly owned alternative to grubbilly commercial kit makers, 1/72 Scimitar as the launch product

He's got my vote!

Your appointment as new Industry Secretary can only be days away, Alistair!

He's got my vote!   

The first of a landslide victory.

'Spilsport' - is that some sort of drinking game?

Only after it's been going for a while...

You isolationist twats!! Get back in the EU so that I can buy my models (not to mention paint) without fuss again! 

[NARSES2]

I feel the same way about getting stuff from Europe

Not me, I'm a Remainer, or was anyway.

I was half expecting to see a requirement for stash sizes to be limited by international treaty. Which would certainly loose my vote

Probably be more along the lines of Nationalising certain stashes, 'For the good of the Party (of Me).'...

Stash limitation?  What an outrageous concept! 

You need to have a good hard think about the damage such talk could cause 😉

[zenrat]

I disagree.  Overlarge stashes pose a hazard. Just look at what happened to Kit's bathroom ceiling.
We may need to think in terms of a Stash Amount Limitation Treaty...

Hehehehe, but my ceiling collapse wasn't due to the weight of my stash up in The Loft.

The vast kit pile is about 15 ft away from the collapsw, which is right under the leaking water tank which caused it.

Or so you claim, anyway...
