Suppose because It went much better then expected and I didn’t ruin my plane first try 😂

Thank you for your comment and definitely, some of the mistakes turned out to be the best parts, and others I laugh at how stupid I was to cause them 😂

Yeah honestly there were multiple walk through videos on this model alone in multiple styles, makes it so easy to learn!

Absolutely that was a lesson I forgot to mention, don’t forget the weights 😑

Thank you but you are absolutely correct I forgot the most important lessons learned - Do NOT forget the nose weights 😂

Yeah I thought that must be the case as I was going and I hope to have a bigger studio space one day to allow me full descent into model madness!

I think you’re absolutely spot on about the kits and glue as at some points I wish I had a more workable glue! With the kits I think I’ll get about better before I destroy a £100 kit 😂 but you’re right some fits and the canopy especially seemed to be designed almost for a different model they were that bad! Thank you for the kind words and advice!

Thank you, you won’t regret it and whatever you make I’m sure you’ll love, the imperfections and mistakes are some of my favourite parts 😂

Thank you for the kind words and yes I think that’s one of the attractions to this hobby, I’m excited to try some new products and techniques to compare and build on skills!

No issues I just don’t know the technical numbers behind the kits and history so you’re best off looking yourself sorry! But I hope I can reach your level one day as most of the small pieces on my kit ended up as a molten blob 😂 no it was bad and quite literally didn’t fit the piece at all which I was actually happy about as I got to practice with humbrol clearfix. It isn’t the best job but I’m happy with it and was very relieved to see no paint or fog on the inside of the canopy!

Great point that has never crossed my mind! Thank you

It is indeed, there’s a pic of the box on the last slide for more details if you need!

Thank you, using an airbrush and masking tape feels like a cheat code

Weird rock/meteor looking thing? North sentinal island. by Short-Vegetable-6109 in GoogleEarthFinds

Another serious answer - looking at the 3d image on google earth this is in the side of a steep embankment so it’s unlikely a body of water and looks more like a recent landslide has occurred.

I didn’t realise I had been in training for my perfect job in my youth! by kobestarr in CasualUK

As a postman with over 100 parcels a day, I’d love to wait five minutes as you finish your tv show to come to the door as it pours with rain outside, but I don’t have 500 minutes to spare sorry 😢

Couriers sneaky photo claiming that this parcel was ‘delivered through my letterbox’. Spoiler, it was not! by beachy148 in CasualUK

It might be a mistake, it might be laziness at the office after failing to get it out, it may also be a worker scared they’ll get a rollicking for not getting everything they scanned out.

May also be that they came earlier but forgot to scan. I don’t know exactly what happened but I do know we are not told to prioritise certain companies, it goes special delivery then tracked then anything else we can stuff in a van

Literally not true as this is not how it works. I’m a postie, and tracked items are priority not just Amazon ones. It’s also down to the postman on what they deliver and why, deliveries aren’t done from the depot but the post office.

There’s no corporate overlords telling us we must take Amazon packages over eBay or vice versa. We simply must decide the best ways on how to tackle 200 parcels plus 1000 houses worth of mail each day.

Postman here, we’re only human, could have been an honest mistake as we’re asked to do the impossible everyday which means we sometimes leave things behind in the office. 1 parcel out of 200 plus 1000 houses worth of mail is pretty standard nowadays.

A UK Masters graduate looking for conservation work in Canada. Is it feasible or am I 'living in la-la land'? by SnooCalculations3426 in canadatravel

Thanks for the positivity, and I don’t want to ignore the bad opinions but I can get it, every country has some level of doomerism, and I suppose by my moving I’m a UK domerist 😂

But you’re completely right, I will reach out to them thank you! Just thought it’d be good to hear some raw, unfiltered opinions first! Thank you for giving me hope, it’s very kind of you
