Instructions obviously written by the same person that wrote Learjet maintenance manuals. "You're an engineer, just work it out for yourself".

I've built several RFM models, they've all been really enjoyable builds.

Brilliant, I'm so pleased he's enjoying his bass playing.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I approve of this 'what if'. Nice work, da iawn.

Think I'm done with the Vampire. And I'm pleased with how it looks on my wall. One solution the space problem in this room at least. #histscalemodels

To be fair Julian, I started this one over three months ago, it just languished over the hot summer, as did I, due to a lack of enthusiasm. I only restarted it this week.

Actually did some work on the modelling bench this week. What you see us a 1/48 Vampire on an airfield apron. The plan is to put the whole thing in a picture frame and mount it on my wall. #histscalemodels

That's a good 'un. It'll look great on a suitable diorama.

Notwithstanding my having taken the whole summer off from building this year (enthusiasm failure), my usual thing is building dioramas, either round armour or figures. I usually end up doing perhaps four a year, depending on the subject and complexity of the scene.

My favourite there was The Breath a couple of years ago.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

That's beautifully done. Respect.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Yeah, I always remember it as being slightly quirky, certainly not ordinary or mainstream. Might be time to revisit it.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I do remember it, though I've never seen an episode re-run since it was first broadcast when I was a kid.

Always tidy up leftover parts/decals/PE then give the workbench a really good tidy up and clean. Then agonise over the next build.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

How about the Cartoon Museum?

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I'm in the same boat. I've been doing armour in 1/35 for so long other scales and subjects seem a bit wrong. Currently I'm doing a 1/48 Vampire (1st ever 1/48) so a complete departure for me and I'm certainly out of my comfort zone. Still don't know if I'll finish it, or where I'll put it.

I'm avoiding applying 87,000 miniscule decals on my Vampire.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Personal hates include ; Parts so small/fragile they can't be removed from a sprue without damaging them ( AFV Club, I'm looking at you) Excessive amounts of PE. Small assemblies that could be perfectly well moulded as a single piece instead of a dozen tiny sub parts, just because they can.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

That looks like too much hard work...

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

My wife was really angry with it this morning. Especially as I beat her to the answer. (smug).

Hello Grace, no problem. I'm always happy to talk to another enthusiast though my aviation career is now over since I retired in 2022. Thank you for your kind comments on my work.

Here's his reply; Hi Mike, the crew i came across on Ebay, they were about £35. the stowage was a mix of Value gear off Ebay some 3D printed items from Ringo Resin on Ebsy (jerry cans and ammo cans) and ammo Verlinden set that came up on Vinted.

Only ever called them woodlice in South Wales.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

A friend of mine is currently building a 1/16 Sherman. I'll ask him where his crew figures came from.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Yeah, there's something a bit special about those early Cold War jet aircraft.

Mike Edmunds @bassworm.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

So lucky, I have few childhood memories of seeing them. I have a soft spot for a Vampire, at the BA apprentice training centre we had bits of Vampire that were used as training aids.
