NE - planes I'm looking at are all electric now. Much easier, cleaner, less maintenance, quieter etc! Thanks though! :-) G

There was a great 3 parter on C4 or C5 with British and German RC model plane clubs reenactment Battle of Britain.

Thanks for article Groundhog. I'm still not flying yet. :-) G

I got a Lego Technic set for Christmas! It's taken an hour to do less than 1/4 of it so far. It's fun. We did secret Santa this year so everyone gets one slightly bigger pres and you can use wishlist feature to give ideas. Worked out well for me!

Any other good model building presents received?!

Festive Frolics to all. :-) G

Something a bit different. A wooden motorbike model I got for Christmas. Very detailed and all the pieces are locked together using dowels made from cocktail sticks. As with others of this type I have made, there is a clockwork mechanism that is difficult to make work as there is so much friction in the cogs. It was fun to make though I want to alter the routing of the cables so the brakes and throttle go to the right handlebar and clutch to the left.

No Garmin charger is a proper disaster - hope you source one. :-) G

About This Thread

Maintained by HappyG(rrr)
I can't believe that we've got Crafts, Gardening, Computer Games, but not model cars, trains...!

Just don't call them toys!

My particular hobby was 1/10th scale radio controlled car racing. I'm now looking to get into radio controlled planes. We have some Airfix model builders in here and Lego builders too. Any type of model vehicles really! Planes, trains, automobiles... boats, helicopters, anything! Come join in! :-) G
