  1. Thanks for the link brother, i'm here now, I feel your pain with vision mine has gone quite quick - I used to have to use reading glasses with a prescription strenth of just 1 I'm upto 4 now, but to model build I still need magnifiers ontop of my glasses. OC.
  2. Thank you for your service Kurt, a friend of mine is a temp fireman over here over the pond. OC.
  3. I'm not sure you know, but doesn't matter either way as I have seperate magnification, it looks tidy - no leads apparently recharges off an internal battery from a USB lead. OC.
  4. I have seen Dragon in real life - they debated wether to remove the motif but decided to keep it. OC.
  5. Evening all, so fingeres crossed my little light problem will be fixed soon - the admiral has ordered one of these for me - OC.
  6. Just my humour Lou - some make a joke out of the name cashew as it can be made to sound like you are sneezing hence my reply - "Bless You" like - "Achewwww " "Cashew" etc Its ok I'll double get my coat. OC.
  7. Instead of popcorn you could throw down to us in the lower stalls those Yellow kidney shaped sweet soft nuts - What are they called ? OC.
  8. Its a Two fillament strip light that has a bendy tube that sits in a weight and plugs into my extension lead, It has been flickering before starting for some time now, then this evening it just flickered and went out, I unplugged it took it in the kitchen (for light) and found a few screws so I could open it up - rocker switch and power lead from mains - and a choke, I fiddled with it took the choke out - put it back in, even took the element out (Two piece unit) and put it back in, there is some blackening at the power end of the element (mind you its old - was second hand when I got it and that was a good few years back) it tries to start keeps flickering but wont. Its a lottery as it could be - the element, the choke or even the starter or possibly all Three. Time for a nerw one me thinks. OC.
  9. Thought about it (sitting the chair bit watching rubbish tv) "Nah wont work" I get too bored - will have to find something else to do, I have my aircraft spotting logs books and underline reference books I could do for a bit - I have about 3 years worth of movements to cross check from spotting in the back garden. And some old aircraft RAW files I could re-re edit again on my laptop. OC.
  10. Evening all, Serous "Grrrrrrrr" moment that has brought All my building to a sudden stop - my over head table strip light has given up the ghost and I am blinded without it, I have the magnification but no light, just when my figures were going quite well. Oh well another thing that will have to wait. OC.
  11. I'm in, used to love these as a kid the diecast ones - Dinky, Corgi etc. OC.
  12. I agree with everyone and some - its a privaledge watching your building work here, every new post is a walk into a small scale piece of mastercraft, I feel that the only things that could hold you back are the - physical restraints on how much room you have, and how far you want to go. Thank you Ekis for choosing us here to share your imagination and skill. OC.
