I think I'm calling that a wrap! #jffbook Imperial Shuttle Tydirium is up and in flight mode. As a kit from 1983, I knew there would be some fit issues & I enjoyed incorporating the lighting set as well. It's been an enjoyable & at times stressful build, but I'm pleased 😀

WHAT A MOMENT FOR MUZZY 🥳 He finishes sixth in the men's 10km interval start free - that's GB's best-ever cross-country ski finish at a Winter Olympics. ⛷️ #TeamGB | #MilanoCortina2026

I just popped over to check on some elderly neighbours, a couple in their nineties. “Oh before I forget” said the husband as I was leaving “I found this in the loft and I thought your boys might like it” It’s from 1967 and belonged to his son

@Fluffy_LeMonde It’s happening all over the country. This is on the edge of Teversham village, near Cambridge. Sheer desecration. There were white throat, blackcaps and a linnet seen in the area when it was surveyed by the BTO. It seems wildlife doesn’t count. They just don’t care 🥲🥲🥲🥲

There's humiliation for a 65 year old man who has been fined £500 for wearing a naval uniform he was not entitled to. No, not that one

Finished my retro #StarWars #TESB #Snowspeeder kit from @Airfix with cockpit upgrade. It's been a labour of love at times. Now, on intercept course to defend rebel base on Hoth against Imperial AT-AT walker's

After loads of superglue applied & clamping overnight, the fit is good, the warp in join between hull parts has been corrected #jffforsimon #TESB #Snowspeeder but has caused some issues with cannon fit that may need some putty if im feeling brave 😳

Massive issues to make upgrade #Snowspeeder #TESB #StarWars #jffforsimon cockpit fit. I had to cut base away and slot in resin cockpit seats or the pilots sat to high. Will have to think about how to sort once the top & bottom joined, but hopefully, it's not a big problem 😬
