- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

With a dab or two of paint it could BE a figure!  ;D ;)

It's got arms, legs and a face too.....
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I bought some of that U.V. Light curing glue on E-Bay. I have a specific use for this in mind, but I need to get into the right mood to see if it does the job or not.

I will report back.

I have one an agree it is great for any of us to hold and see smaller parts.  And you youngsters will find the magnifying glass more valuable over time, as I have been.   :o
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Today the postie dropped off

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PV9JK5G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

which I bought to hold my packets of Evergreen rod. I am also using an empty jar to hold my packets of Albion Alloy rod and tubes along with the smaller part used chunkier Evergreen rod items.

I picked up a set of 4 bead reaming files - 2 of which are 5mm diameter or so at the root, tapering to a point and about 2-3 inches long.
Ideal for those small holes you want to be larger...

Got them from Ali, but they're probably available all over the place.

Not my toolbox as such but I popped into my local branch of The Works to get some W&N Matt varnish and discovered they had cutting mats on offer. A2, A3 and A4 in stock so I picked up a nice new A2 one to replace the well used one on my bench for all of £5  :thumbsup:
