That's nice. I might be asleep though. I'm knacked after a load of hassle this week, which has badly adjusted my projected earnings - in a downward direction. Such are the joys of self employment.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Flak, does that mean you WILL be building the Arado? The 1:32 one? With the floats?

I sincerely hope so. That reminds me, in a way I can't explain, of the Tall Vegetarian Wife. I met her at a Godfathers gig. Surely one of the best live bands of the late 80s. No contest. But youTube is being its usual idiotic self and so we shall return those legendary purveyors of insane girlfriend scoring situations later. Here's some totally awesome (©TVW 1986 - 2013) cheesiness instead. Kitsch is über cool, you know.

NOW BLITZMUSIK? Is that what the Panzers had playing on their "In Tank Entertainment" systems as they rolled across the Belgian border?

Polish. And yes.

Sawing of the parts from mahoosive pour stubs…

Eventual sanding…

Priming with automotive primer previously decanted from the rattle can into old Tamiya jars. This stuff can send you from 0-stupid in no time flat. Luckily, I appear to be immune from its effects. There has also been a food outbreak. Pitta bread containing roast ham, barbecue chicken, shredded lettuce, tomato and The Tall Vegetarian Wife's home made mayonnaise.

Image

Youtube still being useless. Whatever and like totally FML. We shall slum it with Photobucket and the previously promised Godfathers…

It's a level of cheese normally not found outside the 70s. Ronco also comes highly recommended.

Our first faltering steps towards a suitably care worn interior…

Image

Continuing with a major helping of cheese, mid 90s London hipsters Freaky Realistic are on hand to help out. The people of UAMF have tasted cheese. They decided that cheese tastes good. They want more cheese.



And for those who missed it, here's the Godfathers again. On YouTube this time.



…although what youTube are playing at with aspect ratios is anybody's guess. Did Yahoo buy them?

I would have expected more parts for the interior, seeing as it's 1:32.
It's a nice seat.

I'm off to bed, mate. I'll be logged back on about 7 to see how you got on overnight.
Have fun!

I'm off to bed soon too. after some more housework and putting the bins out ready for the collection in the morning. I'll log in tomorrow, hopefully with a blitz of my own but not a truck or two/four engined jet. And minus any amount of explosives.
Great work thus far.

All the best.

K-Tel.. their Christmas records...

Actually the Blackhawks did a funny thing on this theme a couple of years ago..



Note the fun with the Slovakian Marian Hossa attempting to do "O Holy (Hossa) Night" and the Czech Michal Frolik's take on "Felize Navidad"...
