They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

One day I'll make the trek up there.............
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! :)

The Wooksta!

I'd like to be there both days and I've a feeling I've booked the time off.  Will check tomorrow.

Too far north.  In any case will have just arrived at the Bangkok Ladyboy Convention that's keeping me away from Milton Keynes.

What IS it about the MK Show that makes people feel they just HAVE to overload us with information????:o

It's the place. Weird, almost artificial town with delusions of grandeur brings it out I think  :angel: Can you tell I'm not a fan  ;) It's what they would have called a "Dormitory Town" 'tween the Wars .
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

There's a number of "bedroom communities" around Calgary (and Edmonton) where the inhabitants have delusions like that ---

There's nothing wrong with Dormitory/Bedroom towns that grew up naturally (after all that's what most suburbs are) it's just the ones that were designed as such that seem to have this problem. Mind you if you've moved there from some run down inner city area then they are probably nice places to live. I just like a little bit of a mixture of eras and styles. Where I live it's a mixture of every architectural style from about 1840 to the modern day. Some fascinating stuff, some beautiful stuff and some ugly stuff - what was it about the late Victorians and red bricks ?  :angel:

I've got a mate lived in MK for a while.  Not a bad place to live as long as you drove everywhere.
They designed the place with cycling/walking tracks separate from the roads which while being safe in road safety terms are perfect for lurking near-do-wells.
The look of MK - repeated iterations and variations of a few standard designs - has become standard in the large housing subdivisions that now cover what was all paddocks just 10 years ago out here South East of Melbourne.  Albeit with less roundabouts, rain and trees.

- 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.

Ok boys and girls. One week to go. And I have seen a floor plan for the Scots nats.

Both What if? and Project cancelled Sig's are in the same location as last year. In the new hall (the one with the carpet).  :thumbsup: So not so hard on the old feet............................
