Lovely clean finish. Some of those old Heller kits are terrific never built that one looks like I missed out!

[Bissyboat]

Nice one James.

[Andy Dighton]

That is a very nice Vampire.

In time for the CBK SIG display at Scale Model World, Matchbox's Gnat done in as a '73 season Red Arrow:

Very nice James - that came out well.

[Softscience]

Very good looking little gnat. I always liked that kit.

[wokka]

The vampire and Gnat look superb, beautiful finish on both.

[Impisi]

Ohh, I missed out some in here - looking good

[Lone Modeller]

I missed out too. Two extremely good looking models.

So coming back from Telford I've often put the mojo boost into cracking on with one of my new purchases and though I was tempted to make a start on the Patlabor Mecha kit, something else needed my attention first...

... my model room was a tip. Over the last year it had become a dumping ground for various related activities and there were piles of kits to sell ( from 2 years ago) and a collection of salvaged packing materials, piles of magazines, instructions and decals that needed filing, electrical paraphernalia and host of other accruded kibble. So most of my spare time since SMW has been sorting these areas out one-by-one and I once again have room to swing a very small cat.

What I did do was add some stencils to my Vampire build as I acquired additional sheets at SMW and also realized that I had missed that it should have a painted nose wheel door - literally X marks the spot!

Ditto..... I turfed out some old magazines, after recovering some useful articles, boxed up some books that have become surplus to requirements, then moved some boxes with stuff I brought back from my mum's a couple of years ago that I'm still not willing to sort out and put those on a high shelf in our bedroom closet for another day. I think I might now have room to swing a small gerbil.

So rather than knuckling down to my ongoing projects I, of course, started something new

Here's a sort of suggestive hint
