  1. I like it, looks like a real one would be fun. Shame there never was such a thing.☺️
  2. I envy you! For me it was Hawkwind, Hammersmith Odeon 1975. Time stood still for a while...
  3. I just don't get chance to build models or much else geniunely recreational any more. But my holy trio would be these (I'd paint the Bandit a deep metallic blue like the Hot Wheels one and the one I built years ago):
  4. Thanks. There's a few of us would like to see the finished machine! Any chance, Bruce?

    Car wreck

    Wow - the impact was so bad that the Partridge family bus seem to have been knocked right out of scale compared to the other vehicles!
  6. Makes sense, thanks Dave!
  7. Very enjoyable, the perspective is very well managed. What's the music? It fits rather nicely. Cheers, -Don.
  8. There's some beauties out there, if only in the eyes of the builders! Thanks! -Don.
  9. Have you got the exhausts and filler caps. Bruce? The tank is a work of art.
  10. Any road up, as they say in northern England, Marmite / Vegemite or just salt might help. I guess they relax the muscles.
  11. Well you started it...
  12. I only just realised there's a few key bits missing - doh! so I guess it's not quite done yet!
  13. That must have been an eye-opening job! Yeah, I heard that the camera was (was being the operative word!) worth £40k. The audience loved it of course. The show carried on with feeds from the other cameras that were at a more respectful distance.
  14. To go even more off topic - we saw Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros at Glastonbury - there was a massive overhead camera on a boom above the band, filming for the big screens around the stage, which kept getting closer and closer to Mr Strummer 'till in the end he picked up his 'mike stand and smashed the base into the lens. All the big screens fickered and went black... He had warned them... Still. looking forward to your presentation! Cheers, -Don.
  15. Sorry about your tripod disaster. Made me think of a scene from War of the Worlds....? Thankfully it didn't land on the Hooper works.
  16. Great 'bike. Could be a 1:1 with the right background. Well done!
  17. The bonnet (hood) does look a little longer than original!
  18. Well it did make me laugh!
  19. Nice lateral thinking. Reminds me of this:
  20. Ouch! I hope you weren't travelling too fast when it happened. Once I'd just overtaken 3 cars on a country road at night when all my electrics shorted out. I slammed on the brakes and aimed for where I thought the road went. Once I'd stopped, luckily in one piece, the 3 drivers I'd just passed made their opinions of me quite clear as they drove by! Turned out to be a screwdriver that had worked out of the tool compartment and welded iteself between the live terminal and the car body. I knocked it clear and all was good.
  21. ?Fools and children shouldn't see things half done!. Thanks for your answer, Mike - keep up the great work! Cheers, -Don.
  22. Hi I don't build dioramas (OK I don't build much nowadays!) but I really enjoy looking at them. But here's a thought - is a diorama ever 'completed' in the same way as a car or truck build? Seems like by their very nature they are constantly evolving in the telling of a story, so like the Forth Bridge they are always 'In Progress'. Maybe that's why there aren't any in 'Under Glass'? What are your thoughts? Cheers, -Don.
  23. That's part of what's great about this forum! If you think that was interesting you might enjoy this, cheers!
