Not a scoreline I was expecting but…👍🥳

Some Soviet bits & bobs simply because I have just started the new RFM JS-2 🤷‍♂️👍

This is what’s in the aftermarket add ons…a couple of large sheets of PE, some resin hatches, lamps and covers, some track links and nicest of all is a 3D printed barrel to replace the three part plastic one. It has a metal rod insert, presumably to prevent ‘barrel droop’ in warmer climates…🤷‍♂️👍!

Both sets of tracks made up now. I like that they also supply 3D printed drive sprockets presumably so that the tracks will fit on them properly. There have been a few occasions where this fit has been less than ideal with some aftermarket tracks when fitting over the kits drive sprockets.

Impossible question really…but if you had to name two bands that have, over the years, provided you with the most joy as a live act…who might they be…I will go for Belle & Sebastian and The Men They Couldn’t Hang…I have to tag @carolinebinnie.bsky.social in the hope that she may help me out here…🥃

I occasionally post my book review efforts on #booksky and there are a few lovely folks who like them and thanks so much. However, I don’t see many attempts (& mine are just attempts) at genuine book reviews…lots of promotion though…so what is the point of the hashtag please?

@jmcn.bsky.social just got to book II in the A Bright Shining Lie audiobook…its very good I think and a massive eye opener already if all true…long way to go yet though…

Just a small reminder about this lot…I’m about to send four or five kits off to them that I have lost interest in…maybe think about sending one or two…think of the shelf space you can then fill with new kits!? www.modelsforheroes.org.uk/donate/

A new read and pretty good so far. Hadn’t heard of him but it looked interesting. This was published in 2017 and he’s had two books out since, one just recently. Will report back… #booksky

Of the masking tapes I‘ve tried (no I can’t remember them all) this has become my go to. Not perfect, none of them are, but it mostly works well when used correctly. It has a nice combination of strength, adhesion and a good ‘edge’…never used it over pure acrylics though (🫣🤔)…might be of interest…

Just remembered that this is my 100th build since beginning the hobby again about five years ago…no wonder I keep having to clear models from my shelves and put them in storage boxes…🤷‍♂️😊

A bit of 1/35 scale colour….

A little build story…

One built and one to go (tomorrow I think!)…
