Hi, I build 1/72 aircraft. My preferred subject is NATO in the year 1983. Why 1983? It focuses my scope and it was also an interesting year in the context of the Cold War -- as well as in pop culture. My modelling philosophy is: accuracy in shape is more important than accuracy in detail.

Another great video from Headquake! This is a different kind of model hobby: off-road RC. Headquake has their own park trail loop, and they scratch build their own models, mostly using wood. Nice calming video. youtube.com/watch?v=uKMZ...

Such a cool pic I had to share this Monday morning (by Marc-Eric Minard). Four Fouga Zéphyr aboard R99 Foch in November 1993. Perhaps four aviators were later going to have their first catapult launch! flic.kr/p/2sJekU6

Love when I click on a news site and it talks to me like this but I do wish it would add "Mister Bond"

And a booty has been brought home as well -- and look, no kits! 😁 Forgot to get Flory's washes though aargh! I did however get Italian Colle21 CA glues which have an almost mythical status in some circles, keen to try them out!

Just hit me today @mrasoft.bsky.social -- you were and are completely right and I was completely wrong on the availability in the EU of Tamiya putty. Back then I apparently asked the wrong sellers. And it was still in stock. Not anymore!

There ya go. A 1/72 scratchbuilt ladder for the C-160 loading ramp. #revelltransall

I wrote something just in case someone is having problems with vertigo and nothing works; it just might be vestibular migraine. I'm a total noob and eejit when it comes to things medical so I might be wrong on every count. Just sharing an experience. mountaingoatjay.wordpress.com/2026/10/06/a...

I watched The Legacy (1978) as a circa six year old together with my sisters. A B-movie if there ever was one, but still filled with -what on paper should be- terrifying moments. But I remember just enjoying everything..? Also, why were we watching a bad old horror movie together? I don't know.

A friend of mine kindly gifted me "A Certain Idea of France: The Life of Charles de Gaulle" by Julian Jackson, as a consolation because I wasn't able to see the two de Gaulle films in the cinema. Missed the book when it came out. Now I don't want to stop reading so that's a good sign! 👍

Always nice when research throws up unexpected surprises for the to do list. Not. Practically done, I only just discovered that standard Transalls had a ladder mounted on the loading ramp. So now to make a ladder. Sure Transall, just add more jobs, why not.

Every new bit of info on the FlyDubai incident makes it more incredible, especially the recovery from that overspeed dive, w/ parts of cockpit panels having been smashed in and possibly the engines cut off as well & the 737 holding up perfectly despite all the Gs. One for the aviation history books!

A jewel of a Derek Guy thread.

Airbrush? Where we're going, we don't need an airbrush. #revelltransall

The sdasm archive has posted this image of a model of Boeing's projected but never completed 757-100 variant (on the right, left is a -200), which is interesting because there are not many artists' impressions of this shortened version. flic.kr/p/2sDKcjB

Good grief!

Looking forward to this

Made another video. God forbid Bluesky should display it with a not-shit thumbnail but anyway, here it is. youtube.com/shorts/nF4Gt...

#migraine

Had a massive vestibular migraine attack day before yesterday, only just recovering. I should do a write up on the symptoms one day, for the greater good so to speak, as I keep meeting people who experience similar symptoms but got wrong diagnosis, as I initially had. (Not! a headache by the way).

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Some Transall parts that still needed finishing were the RR Tyne exhausts and the crew entry ladders. See alt for more. #revelltransall

フリップアップは割と不安定なので展示会等では何らかの仮止めが必要でしょう… シャーシー側のディティールは最低限な感じでプラグコードだけです。 ツインプラグの片側はよく分からないので、親の顔より見たヘミのカバーから生えてるやつだけで。 燃料系とかは無いです。

One of life's small (or medium-sized) joys: to discover an unseen Columbo episode. 'Fade in to Murder' from 1976 starring William Shatner. One of the funnier episodes, Shatner's acting is gold quality ham.
