OK, you've got me. What is Lomography? I know Google is my friend but I can't be bothered to look. I'm lazy like that sometimes.

Great music selections so far. There was a ton I missed for sure. Great selection and it should go very well.

Chicago by the way are still knocking them down touring casinos. Saw them a few months ago and they were "fab gear."

They're basically Russian "Toy" film cameras that have weird effects.. like fish-eye of four-lens exposure.. and you can get more effects by messing with the film-processing..they've become a massive cult (and money spinner) among Hipsters..OK, you've got me. What is Lomography
Ended up helping a family change a tyre a litle while ago so am cleaning grease off myself.. photo's and stuff soon..

I see, thanks for that. No wonder I've never heard of it. Not being exactly hip. If I was I wouldn't be spending my time sticking bits of plastic together I'd be in some cool club, surrounded by hip young ladies who'd be vying for my attention. Well, I imagine that's what being hip involves.mightymikeD wrote:They're basically Russian "Toy" film cameras that have weird effects.. like fish-eye of four-lens exposure.. and you can get more effects by messing with the film-processing..they've become a massive cult (and money spinner) among Hipsters..OK, you've got me.

You're a good man changing tyres for people - especially in the midst of a blitz!

Here we are...
Still in the "Dull" stage where its lots of internal work & small part painting
Sudden urge to hum "The Wheels On The Bus"
Canopy! Moar easy masking! yaaay!
The boys.. getting there..
I've also glued in the portholes.. so must dig out the Maskol.. big assemlies next, promise.
Here's an awe-inspiring Northen Soul track by the Flirtations.. the video is, for some reason, filmed at Tintern Abbey.. bet Wordsworth never anticipated three Afro'd Goddesses dressed in red strutting their stuff..

I didn't realise there were so many seats in one of these. Quite an involved interior for a blitz kit then. Cracking value for £1.99

£1.99 ?? You pay more for posting a letter! Crikey.. what a bargain.
It's coming along nice, good progress. Music is okay too but where's the beer ??

Fantastic 1.99. I remember trying to build this one on our duck hunting camp when I was about 12 !

Re: Fat Lady Warming Up.. mmD's Penultimate Blitz... 20.00 s
This kit is a delightful build.. so much so that I've lost all track of time while working on various parts of it...
One IP
The office..
Engine nacelles
Maskol in full effect..
Ready to close 'er up
I've realised that I started this build too early.. I won't have much of a run at it tomorrow evening so a late one is called for...
Closing up the fuselage as we speak..
Here's Frankie Valli being incredible

I did, but failed to get out on time.. I've left myself a mountain to climb with three hours left..
This will be close
Here's what it looks like.. camo and decals to come..
Head down now... more soon
