On models, whisky and other important things in life

[perttime]

I hear people in UK manage to get "sorta handguns" for sport: extended barrel and a rear extension to comply with some rule.

That's right, thanks to the somewhat convoluted rules from the 1997 Act.

I'm not sure where the discussion on firearms came from in my blog. But here we go, back to me and my models 

I finally managed to finish something today. The first one is the 1/35 K-Wagen German tank, which you find here: K-Wagen. 



I have finished some more models and pictures will appear in the coming weeks.

It feels good to finally finish some things after months of building and painting and building and.....

On the whisky side of things: Glenlossie 10yrs.

The K-wagen looks good       As to the whisky, Glenlossie is not one I've sampled..........yet!

I don't normally look at armour, just not my thing, but that's kinky enough to pique my interest!

It's been a while since I posted here.

First there was Euro Scale Modelling in the Netherlands (our nationals) where I am part of the organizing committee. It was a very succesful event with over 3000 visitors. We had a lot of very interesting conversations with many visitors who mostly were positive about the whif side of modelling.
After that we went into the holiday season with all kind of family obligations and lot's of good food and drink.

The past 10 days I was off from work and finally got to do some modelling. I started on my "big" project for 2026. This will be a series of early jet aircraft with the aim of modelling every jet aircraft flown up to 1946. I started this series already many years ago but lost my drive somewhere along the way and it was never completed. Along the way, in doing research, I also came across a number of ramjet and pulse-jet assisted piston fighters, mostly from the USSR. Of course these will also be included.
And to add a little whiffing touch I will include some projects and might have been models into the collection.

Besides that I broke my self imposed rule to limit myself to "smaller" models in scale 1/144 and 1/72 and sometimes 1/48. I just don't have any space left to put big models.
However, after seeing the announcement by Airfix of their new 1/24 Bf-109, I just had to get one. And I did.....
I spent a whole week building just the engine and have now just started on the cockpit. It's beautiful model and so far the build is trouble free and very, very nice.
The engine is finished now and just needs a final clear cote to even it out.

 


The Bf-109 will not be finished as a Luftwaffe one. I am thinking about building it as a Messerschmitt M-38g of the Royal Bavarian Air Force. I did a Bavarian 109E two years ago (here) and I quite liked the look of that one.

I now have to go back to work tomorrow, so modelling time will be reduced again .
Also I have to start preparing the whiffies vote, which will start in February.

On the whisky side of things, I treated myself to some glasses of the Bladnoch 27 years old. Very, very, very nice......

Like the idea of your 2026 project Tom and that 109 engine does look nice
