Quote from: NARSES2 on June 29, 2025, 01:17:01 AMIf anyone is in Brussels over the next couple of months then go to the "200th Anniversary of Jules Verne Experience". All 5 Old Farts considered it the best place we visited  :thumbsup:

As an aside I'm sure that when we visited the "Museum of Fine Arts" - after we'd found it, and there in lies a tale  :angel: - they had some young lady undercover officer follow us around. Everytime I looked there was this rather attractive filly within line of site. What they thought we were going to nick is beyond me  ;D

Perhaps she was attracted to more mature males

Maybe she was honing her stalking/shadowing skillset?
Or she was the distraction and the real undercover was elsewhere?

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

Was hoping to get some modelling done this week, but  :banghead:  :banghead: Lost my rag yesterday for the first time since I retired, didn't do me much good. Hopefuly won't need to see the doc.

Anyway at cricket thursday and friday  :thumbsup:

The incident that caused this is still effecting me, and will for a while yet  :-X  Also have to keep reminding myself that I've got my Moderators hat on.  :-\

Lawd knows when I'll start getting anything constructive done, and yes I am cheesed off  :-\

Suggested stress relief.
1. Take a model you wish to dispose of, or some cheap crappy kit that can be built quickly (Mister/Mastercraft will do in a pinch) and place a chinese banger in it.
2. Write the issue that's stressing you out in it in black Sharpie.
3. Light the fuse and stand well back.
4. Sigh in relief as the explosion blasts your issue to smithereens as well as the crap model.
5. Curse profusely with plenty of flowery language as said explosion sets light to your incredibly dry garden and, of course, you're not allowed to use your hosepipe.
On second thoughts....

Seriously though, hope things ease up soon and life returns to a more pleasant time.

Really sorry to hear about this, and I wish I was closer by, having the possibility to offer some more direct support. As things stand, however, I hope my T n' P's will provide at least some minor mental comfort.

Well I managed to combat my general "pissedoffishness" and got back to the bench again.

Been working on one of AZ's "Whiff" Me 109 variants. So far it's gone together very well, as all their 109's do  :thumbsup: , spent far to much time on the cockpit, most of which will never be seen again, but I can't get out of the old "war games figures detail mode". Still I should have it ready for its paint scheme by the end of the coming week and then I'm off for a few days, so hopefully won't lose the mojo.

Oh and just for Kit, it's got very long wings for a 109  ;)

GOT to be an improvement.  ;D
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! :)
