A timeline building model kits, kit bashing, making things and other stuff.
I also have a Triang Class 31 which had a broken carbon brush and didn't run well.
I replaced the brush, cleaned it up and tried running it again.
One piece of Hornby track was fine but three other pieces it struggled.

Approx 57 years old and looking brand new.

So having finshed restoring the Britannia, i started cleaning up the rollingstock I have stored away in a box. Some of it was a bit broken.
I have an idea for the next project:

Object279 完成
機動性を重視した、冷戦期ソ連の試作重戦車。
4本の履帯と流線形のような車体形状を持ち、長砲身の130mm砲を装備しています。
付属の架空塗装図を元に、実戦配備風の迷彩カラーに変更して制作しました。
砲身は130mm M-65とTPC 152mmを付け替え出来るようにしました。

Right, that is me done with the Airfix Shackleton. A very good kit, great decals and in the end a good looking plane. A few mistakes and a few things I will do differently next time but overall happy with how it's turned out.

I’m calling this done , there are a couple of figures to paint that but these will have to wait until next week after York IPMS Model Show on Saturday. When I get a moment, I need to get the SLR out and redo these and then photoshop a suitable background #histscalemodels

Well first side done.
I think that worked.
Some of the gloss varnish got scrapped away when I removed the line below the number, but I think the satin varnish that I will be using tio finish will hide that.

Me positioning each digit on the real thing.
Using a pair of tweezers adjust it by a fraction of a millimetre about 50 times.
Within those 50 movements I get it in the correct position about 3 times. The first two I decide aren't quite right but the third is OK.
😂🥴🤦

Experimenting with the numbers.
So i have a 5 digit number lined up using the lines under the number decal for alignment.
When dry I applied water to the line with a brush, avoiding getting the numbers wet.
Then carefully scraped away the line with the back of a knife blade.

I built my #Airfix 'Saint Louis (1626)' in the fall of 1977 and, besides collecting dust, it survived over the years. Now finally placed in a home-built display case #HistScaleModels.
