I got sent this link on a restored Seafire...

I only know of two flying Seafires - I believe this one is in Canada...?

... and this one is rather cool... a tour round the cockpit of the Enola Gay...

 Kenny, thanks for posting, great stuff!

I have a (lapsed) stamp collection but this one is new out over here today... unique so they say... a 10 stamp collection but 4 of them are lenticular...

All Gerry Anderson stuff (Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, XL5 and Supercar)



If you hold then right they work as a countdown as per the beginning of the show (Thunderbird 5 being the back drop even works...)

Somewhat "sad" to admit to being quite excited by these...

Picked up this model kit yesterday at a vintage store for $5!

[godofthunder]

Nice score Dennis! I have something like 60 vintage kits stacked up in my shop, it's like having my own hobby shop.

 My "in house" hobby shop. Lots of old friends in there many I built more than once as a kid. I get a lot of joy just looking at them. Kenny note the Seafire in the pile. The F4U-1 Corsair is one I am building at the moment. Awaiting detailing decals and weathering.

Yep, spotted it... I should drag my stuff back out of the garage and finish what I started, but ain't that the story of my life (sourced my LED's for my NCC1701D project and my superdedooper scale Saturn V got looked at again recently) but I'm stalled on a Eurofighter (still desperately hopeful of a Tiger-Meet scheme) and a Viscount (BEA  sixties colours - first aircraft I flew on) - I keep looking out for a set of decals for the Dutch F16 30th anniversary - saw her and just drooled...

I still have the Revell monster models I made as a kid - found them boxed up at my parents' place...now they're above my big-screen TV along with a WSU Barbie (hey, it's collectible!)

A Wazue Barbie!? 

I see she's blonde, we all know how much fun cheerleaders are

That Wazzu Barbie is complemented by the Go Cougs neon light visible in the lower right corner. The light is great for an accent while watching Coug games.

Apologies if I posted this before; this was my first attempt of trying to create an "authentic" contemporary pic of my Model StugIII, which I took when we had snow. I may, time permitting, make a diorama for it of a battered street scene.

LOL, those Revell monsters sure bring back memories!!! Glow in the dark mummy, yeah!

I like this as model photography, the focus is soft and the background is blurred - conjures up images of the Ostfront! Nicely done!

Yeah, but we didn't have zombies riding on top of those tanks except in B-comics and C-movies! But der Panzerkampfwagen ist schön enough.
