Martin, Martin, Martin I know some will say to me about throwing stones in glass houses, but I am starting to see a bit of a trend.

Naaa, don't be like that! .... Besides, there's at least 10 other incomplete projects still on the go!

Just taking a break due to fatigue ...

It’s all about the journey, not the destination...some say! If we stop for a picnic or a refuel what’s the harm.

At least you started some projects. I feel a bit of a fraud as all I’m doing is enjoying the work of others on here.

How’s that Akula going Martin?

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #159 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:14:00 am »

It's still here if you want to take it on!

If I may make a suggestion for the next Festive Period in the addition of the following party game, loosely based on Pass the Parcel.It goes as follows.A series of desks, each having one of the unfinished projects on board. Guests are seated, one to a desk and at zero hour the music starts. 2 hours later and having progressed the project, the music stops and the guests move round to the next desk, at which point the music restarts for another 2 hours and so on. As a project is completed, the guest at that table is eliminated until there is one project left which could be, hypothetically, made of matches.
Personally, I'd name the game after galley slaves.

Interesting.
I might find hovercraft more interesting if they wern't so noisy. I hope that you have somewhere very remote to run it.

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #166 on:** July 20, 2023, 08:38:43 am »

Yes, very noisy.
This will be a project to make a quiet one!

You put in a stupid low bid... forget you did ... get an email from eBay saying, 'You Won, pay now!.... and I don't even know what for!

KitS · « **Reply #171 on:** July 20, 2023, 08:47:34 pm »

Hehehehehe LOVE it!

Yep - so quiet - that's because it wont even make it out of the storage area with the other 10+ items (was each face in that reply one for each 'PROJECT' martin has).

With the demise of the model shop, is martin trying to save all models in the UK or model shops stock?

Soon he will have to create more space for the 'collection' that he will have to get rid of some of his shirts - oops - to far??????

My New Yacht!

Had a great evening sail at Wicksteed a couple of weeks ago
( https://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,69589.msg755410.html#msg755410 )

... anyway, as a consequence, I thought a 'all lit up' yacht would look great for the next evening sail.

I've been cruising FleaBay and Facebook for a 2nd hand deal, A Victoria or Tamiya Fortune 613,
something that looks sort of scale..... There are a couple of good deals around but they are all too far away.
Anyway SWMBO was cutting the grass Sunday and the lawn mower went ...buzz, gronk, grindgrindgrind !

So this is my new yacht! ....... sigh.

.... apparently I have enough stupid boats and crap around the house already!
