I think ja and na are both valid here, but they have subtle differences that I don't know about. I hear ja a lot.

I guess so 😊 although noo would be her nickname, which I expect she has had since a girl.

Mia as in wife? If so, to the end I think. I’d say always to the end, anything else sounds awkward.

Good clip of a US Marine Corps Ontos, having its barrels cleaned, and a well-earned cigarette for the cleaner!

Cheers mate! 😄👍 I'm going Zaphod on it: "Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you’ve done it."

Thought I'd sit down to a peaceful evening starting off a Trumpeter Chinook that I got in the sale. My first Trumpeter kit. Immediately confused by the painting scheme for the cockpit, not sure if it is supposed to be silver or black. Gave up on it. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME TRUMPETER??
Building instructions for a plastic scale model of a Chinook helicopter.

Great work Stef, super clean and I love the colour 😎 I don’t think I would know how to strip something down and start again 😀👍

Apparently it was fanfic “finished by AI”, which sums the whole mess up.

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Yep, it is all wrong. I normally wouldn't bother either, but after what the DG said, I had to take a look. It is stilted, glitchy, and lifeless, bad story-telling - actually boring. If you took a still from it, you might say, yeah that is photorealistic. As TV it falls so flat - no life spark.

Just watched some of this. It is f*cking awful. In it, the Tardis is wooden. The Tardis isn't made out of wood, right?? 🤮

Cheers Al! 🙂👍 Yeah, motivation is what drives us, and sometimes it on other things 👍 My kit motivation is very low right now, you're well ahead of me 😄 All the best mate!😄👍🍻

Right 😀👍

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Sounds good! 🙂👍 Yeah I totally get that, it's total dystopia 🙁 I mis-sold my story a little, it is a post-apocalyptic setting, but a story of small personal hope, hence the "reclaim" and "refuge" chapters 🙂👍

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Brilliant, I know there are prompts, but it is a blank canvas 🙂👍 My theme is post-apocalyptic, so it's a familiar place, but out of time 🙂

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Thanks, great advice! 🙂👍

And I probably already know I'll never finish this in October, so it will be ongoing 👍

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
amazing! 😄 As a spoiler, my story is probably going to be a trip from ruined Bangkok down to post-apocalyptic Pattaya 😄

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
That would probably be completely awesome! 🙂👍 I put this post up as a marker for myself, but anyone is free to take these prompts and work them into their art/writing in any way 👍 I'm just not the kind to say, hey everyone, here are prompts, do my prompts 😅 If we get something collaborative going -

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
🙂👍 It is a little bit contrived as I have a rough arc in mind. There will be a character. A bit tropey, but it is a fun hook to do some drawing on 😄👍

Tom @writer77.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
There are loads of great art prompts around for the October drawing season, so naturally I made my own 🤦‍♂️ I wanted to create a narrative to build into something bigger. We are also travelling in October and I'm probably setting myself up for a fall, so the numbers are not dates, right 😅 #ArtPrompts

Yeah, I think Bangkok gets hit hard because of all the canals, which seem to fill quite quickly. Our village isn't too bad now, managed to cycle to the 7-Eleven this morning, but the main road is still a foot deep. And it is still raining 😭 Cheers Stef, we're all safe and dry at home right now 👍

Airfix have gone down in my estimations for reasons, but I have found they are good for supplying replacement parts. I think I’ve read posts from others who have received replacements. It might work out 😀🤞
