Both black boxes should have failed to record anything during the last four minutes of the flight, South Korean officials should have said after examinations of the CVR and FDR by the NTSB. Both stopping at the same time? Sounds strange to me.... Not if they lost their power supplies at the same ti...

My first for 2025. A lovely kit that goes together really well with great detail and fit. Finished in Life-Color Acrylics which sprayed beautifully. A very enjoyable build. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54257059892_79827d0d8c_o.jpg zzDSC_9472 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flickr https://live.static...

My latest in a short series of WW1 aeroplanes. This time one of the most famous aircraft ever, the Fokker DR.1 of Baron von Richthofen. The Meng kit is a really nice with excellent fit and good detail. There isn't much rigging to do either. Hand-painted in Vallejo acryllic 71.269. https://live.stati...

Some success. I can usually try a couple of the challenges before it CTDs. No warning just stops responding and then shuts down. Free flight is a waste of time. It either doesn't load or just stops.

A much easier kit than the Morane-Saulnier, it goes together well.

My first build for a while and unfortunately my ambition outweighs my skill and talent by some way. Not an easy kit.

Last couple of gigs for this year. Last weekend we were at a new venue for us namely the Aviva Studios/Factory International to see Fontaines D.C. . I'm not sure standing in a 5000 strong crowd is my sort of thing anymore. The venue and the band were great but the crowd, not so much. https://live.st...

Well after a lot of consideration, I went for the cheapest edition. Even that was too much - what a dreadful product - a triumph of style over content. After a few hours of installing, unpacking, loading etc. I finally got it going the other night and I get get constant CTDs. Sometimes after a getti...

A quick update. Last Saturday we a paid visit to the New Century Hall in Manchester to see IST IST, a local band who are slowly but surely attracting bigger audiences.
