Conor - Still a slow modeller

I take a long time to finish builds, if at all. NO KIT GETS BINNED.
Took me around an hour a line on my hurricane last week. Trust me they are there. Good luck with the Walrus, I'd say it's not for the faint hearted.

You want fun. Have you seen the number of wheels?

Wish I had the dedication to finish some shelf queens. But I'm very much a magpie.
Ohhhh shiny!

Tbh I started a 1/48 P-47 MkII mini art kit before this. Didn't read the instructions and hashed the pilots seat into the cockpit. I got intimidated and put it to one side. It's SEAC colours so watch out for more at some point next year!

Very nice Dave. How does the kit build for wheels up?

I'd concur, but Revell kits are getting expensive these days for stuff that is not even close to Tamiya quality.

That's a big old beast!

Yep, I'll always knock something off a build. I also only seem to make builds with something that rattles around inside.

I'll glue them all back on. But they're so fragile I feel they'll end up being squint! In hindsight I should have painted them on the sprue and waited till the end.

The issues are not insurmountable but given the timescale we feel the most prudent option is not to proceed at this time. We intend to run our inaugural show in 2026 and will communicate more details around that shortly.

Regretfully we have had to take the decision to cancel this show. This is not a decision we have taken lightly but we have encountered several difficulties which have the potential to impact the success of the show and pose a financial risk to the club.

I know. Two local shows within 24 hours. They cited continuing may put the club in financial jeopardy. It was to be the first event they held. So probably lots learned in the process and have possibly underestimated some of the risks.

Yeah, gutted. Theres a show the week before in Forres. There's a few club members going, but it's too long for me to be away from the kids. Last year there was free access to the museum & cockpits at Moravia. This year you need to pay the museum fee to visit on top of the show.

It's disappointing to miss out on both Badger. I think the organisers won't have taken the decision lightly. See you next year hopefully.
