Labour can only do one thing to stop Reform and it's make positive material changes to people's lives. That's it. That's all they have to do.

Today’s project. 1:1 scale plastic shed. I’m just glad I’m not going to have to prime, paint and weather it.

Change of topic. This is a 3D print of a NASA HL-10 lifting body prototype.
I am trying to use UV resin as a filler to hide the layer lines. The final effect I want in terms of the finish is carved wood, I am going to present it as a desk ornament.

I am going to park this build here. Lovely Tamiya kit as per normal.
Something about these figures reminds me of “Dark Helmet” from Spaceballs.
