Thin line between a suave Michael Caine 'Harry Palmer" trenchcoat and a white Mary Quant wenchcoat. Is it for cosplay in the Frodsham felching frotteurs Spring Ball? I'll be in my wubba moleskin mongoose suit as usual.

Are you and Hal off to some Pet shop boys convention?

Couple of bleeding shifters

The designer of the Millenium Falcon said he had the B-29 nose in mind when he designed the cockpit.

So it was a timely arrival of my 3rd B-29 in 1/72 (nearly got enough to field a bomber wing so I might get a wing commander's hat)

The Falcon is also 1/72

But this is not just any B-29. This is number 77 AKA Bockscar...

Bockscar is less famous than Enola Gay but is the plane that dropped the plutonium bomb Fatman on Nagasaki

This model comes with 1/72 Fatman and also a Little Boy, the Uranium bomb dropped on Hiroshima a few days before Nagasaki

Needs a bit of tidying up and paintwork finishing, but that is what I am here for.

^ Did it touch down in Wales at some point?

^The bloke sent it wrapped in some kind of synthetic cotton wool

Surprised it arrived intact with a 60cm wingspan. They normally require hangar repairs after a bumpy touchdown for at least a propeller blade or 2 if not landing gear

Have not worn jeans for years so I thought I would buy this pair of 501s on eBay for $20 (with free rip hole at the knee)

I then sold my old pair on eBay for $40 so I am $20 up with a ventilated pair that fit me. The old pair were too tight for me since I bought them 30 years ago.

Levi 501s used to be luxury items. When I was a student I paid 5 times that much for a new pair. Which adjusted for inflation was about 15 or 20 times as much. It was 4% of my total living expenses for a year including rent and food and alcohol so they were guarded with my life and watched like a hawk at the student residence laundry room while they washed.

saw it, and just had to buy it.

My youngest bought something similar and has self taught himself watching YouTube tutorials in a few months.
He sent a video to his prospective music college and got offered a place at the first interview.


What's sort of tunes are you going to learn to play first?

I reckon you're a Hendrix man..

not a big fan of hendrix actually. i like guitar driven rock, jazz and electric blues.

i've never played guitar before so i will be guided my teacher and what i can pick up from youtube. hopefully i will discover that i have some ability and am able to make some progress.
