Here is a shot from last night's swarae. Guess who is who.

Hey ! Look it's Jan !!!!

You...! You...! You...! YOU promised NOT to post that picture...! As for answering the shop and the door thing....I sneaked away when you didn't look and you can never have a kit too much....can you?

Slow down here Jan ! Now I didn't promise any thing ,however I can not speak for Stephen . ( whisper in Jan's ear .............Stephen had the camera . He was trigger happy all night !!!!! )
Not even going to tell you what Nigel did ! Lets just avoid that one all together !!!!
And if you are sneaking away , we need to tie tighter knots ! No you can never have enough kit's in the stash !
And thank -you , I'm a little

Another nice wee buy.....

Very interesting aircraft Jan !
So whats tonights feature ? and menu .......................

Wooohoooo!! Got this delivered today!


So, these will be my kick off, getting back into the building business....just to get some good quality waterbased paint and other tidbits...(phew!)


The Mosquito will be a No 139 Squadron bird and the Beaufighter a No 603 City Of Edinburgh.... Now, I just have to find some decent pics of these squadrons...



Oh yeah! What's on the menu for tonight O' Ancient One?

Oh Baaaaby Jan has some serious plastic to build. In honour of that and as a way to make up to poor old Jan, lets do an entente party!

We will show "Enemy at the Gates", "Cross of Iron" and an old stand by "The Battle of Britain."

First an entree of Bulya-baise and Borscht.

Main course will be Steak and Kidney Pie, potato fritters, steamed cabbage and oxtail soup.

for desert? Honey and fresh bread.

post meal? Black coffee or black rasberry tea and starwberry and rhubarb pie.

Dress will be any WWII uniform.



Then there will be the booper reels during coffee!

Ooooh.....what to wear, what to wear....RAF, USAAF or Luftwaffe?? Though that I'd bring some beer for testing while going through our flicks here....







Also topped up on some more tools...

Stephen , movie night sounds like it will be a blast ! With all this beer to test taste I don't recommend having Jan for the security details ! . He always seems to be tied up !
For my costume maybe something a little on the naughty side
Jan would it be easier if you just purchace the hobby shop !!!!!!!!

You in something naughty....would that be the female version of a Gestapo uniform, since you keep tying people (like me) up?
As for buying the shop, don't think that it would be such a good idea Terry, I'd just keep it closed, so that I could build all the models myself....
Maybe wearing a Wiking or Nordland SS uniform will give some peace....?
I think that I handle the Security Detail rather smoothly, even if work seem to keep tying me up slightly....

Far be it from me to make judgement calls. But a Canadian Snowbird in a black SS thingy. Never! I believe she was refering to a The Naughtingham Female Auxilary of the South Ontario Rail Road Troops stationed at Bamington Hall in lower Wexley. (NFA -SORRT).

The "togs are a full length button up type much like the Flieger Combination of the German aviation air crews in 1918. The ladies wear am arm patch that displays an angelic form with outstretched wings. The protective head gear and the peace time markings around it have been mistaken for an angelic halo. Shoes are the sensible ankle high low heeled boots in a matching colour to the mustard yellow togs.

So much to learn.....

Guten Morgen Stephen and Jan !
Stephen is a vast assortment of knowledge , just learned some new info my self ! Made some notes and will take a stroll down to the library and look into this some more . As for the Gestapo uniform you might be on to something there Jan . My dad is German and my mom Dutch . And yes I do like tying people up who miss behave !!!!(people like Jan )
I was thinking on the lines of a nurse , with Jan doing security details and always seeming to be tied up when needed . If some one gets hurt their would be medical aid on hand !
Wiking , Norland ss uniform , keeping the peace ? I don't think we will have to worry about him , he'll be tied up anyway !
You would keep the shop closed to us would you ...............................................

Of course would the shop be open to you guys, if you know the secret knock and password...
Friday nights would be refeshments and building nights...
What!? When did I EVER misbehave....? I'm a right

The postie brought this today....

So that makes to of the La5 now ! Just a Little curious though on something here , with all this buying where do you find the time to build these ? Have you started anything yet ?

So whats the knock and hand shake here ? Be kinda hard doing this with beer in my hands !
And we need another flick here ! Was thinking about Tory with Brad Pitt ! any suggestions on the menu .

Well.....I.....errrmmm.... they said.....cough...cough.....I was thinking.. ...hmmm....if we......no?... ..ooohh look at that, is it time for stock take already?......see ya!

To know the secret knock and handshake will cost you a pint....

Now , now no need to avoid the question I'll give you two pint's
Is it safe for you to around shape objects , or does all that need to be under lock and key ?
I have something for that cough of yours ! It's in my pruse here some where ..............now where did I put that ..............( pulls out kitchen sink ! ) ................................................

Continuing with or Feature films for the next couple of days we start off with Johnny Depp double dipp of gore. First Sleepy Hollow and The director's cut of Sweeney Todd!
