Need a bit advice....

The Mrs is going to see some ****e at Sunderland Empire tomorrow afternoon, and I'm dropping her off. I haven't been in the City Centre for donkeys, so not sure where to drop off. It would need to be within a shortish walking distance, she has a blue badge, so I'm OK that way on. I'm just dropping off, then picking up later, not parking up.

We would be coming in from Chester Road if that's any help.
If you're just dropping off and picking up, nip round the back of the theatre and you're pretty much at the Stage Door/side entrance. Turn up just as you hit the Rabbit. Continue round and you rejoin the 1231 heading back towards Hylton Rd.

Finished doing my Mercedes AMG tonight.
Well pleased with how this one came out, another great kit from Tamiya.

Couple of pics, and one with a can of Guinness for scale.
(now drinking the Guinness).

I've only done 3 <laugh>
I remember chatting to you about it.
Currently clearing out a spare room as a den for pc/playstation, radio and modelling etc :emoticon-0148-yes:
Hopefully get some done then.
A change of shift pattern after new year might help.

Bought a workbench and circular saw for shelving in the stairs roof space.
Making them from pallets and it probably would of been cheaper and certainly easier to just buy the wood :emoticon-0136-giggl :rolleyes:

That's a canny set up you'll have one it's done.
I'm doing a Tyrell F1 car, one of the 6 wheeled ones from the '70's.
Been a bit of a nightmare tbh.
Lots of photo etched parts (brass), they come on a flat sheet and need bending into shape.
The buckles on the seat belts are photo etch, bloody tiny.
Can't wait to get this twatting thing finished, I've nearly binned it twice.

Still no kidney match.

Matching process was last Wednesday, Freeman rang Friday to say we didn't get a match this time. Disappointing, but we knew it wasn't a given. Would be so much bloody easier if we were a blood match, but it is what is. Need to keep our heads up, it'll come, I'm sure.
Next matching is end of January, that's another 3 months of no alcohol.
Need to get this sorted before May, I've got promotion drinks to partake in.

Nice, I remember those cars and I think I had one as a kid for scalextric :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>
I remember buying a Kyosho optima mid RC car when I was about 20. I built it and the fooker wouldn't run so I stuck it away for a few months then went back to it. All it was was a tiny grub screw on the drivetrain I'd forgotten to tighten <doh><laugh>
Your supposed to enjoy building them lol <laugh>
Put it to one side for now and start something else if it's doing your head in :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

I've a few airfix cars in the stash, I've read the quality is a bit cack though.
I've had them years and could do with an airbrush for cars I suppose.
