@BronHebog @RailModeller @festrail It is a well known modelling fact that you can spend years trying to find that essential bit of information.....but as soon as you build it an 'expert' will appear to tell you what is wrong. Have a brilliant weekend!

Arrived and set up in the spiritual homeland for the weekend at the @festrail model show, Y Ganolfan, Porthmadog. Sat & Sun 10am - 4pm. There has been close scrutiny already and, yes, previously unknown inaccuracies have been pointed out to us!

The youngsters are at it again - having a wonderful time making things at our monthly sessions @ModelRailClub

@kwoade Paper cuts hurt, but it was worse when getting a paper cut from a dye-line print when working in a drawing office years ago....paper with ammonia impregnated surfaces ...owwwwww!!!!!

Would anyone else care for a between the fingers papercut! 🕺🥳

@lnr_models From one modeller to another I really want MMW to become the Repair Shop of this era - moving to prime time so everyone can enjoy and perhaps even try for themselves. We'll done Lee and the team.

Ooh look… radiotimes.com/tv/entertainme…

Another busy Saturday @ModelRailClub for the younger (and young at heart) members.

@kwoade Get Biscuit to read the box - always says they are tasty and easy to swallow. Never had a lab that loves them ...unless they are ground to powder and mixed with peanut butter.

fucksakes

@Ben17BC Condolences on your loss. It is so hard to realise that the one who gave you life, nurtured and loved you is no longer there for you. Be consoled with all that she made you and gave you; and that you pass on now to others. Look after Ben, as I'm sure he will miss his Nana too.

It is with great sadness that my mum and one of Bens best friend passed away on Wednesday I am going to miss you mum so much 🥲🐕‍🦺🐾🐾

@lawrenceofthe @ModelRailClub Need to sort the buildings now.

@Lablass2 @ModelRailClub It was lovely to see Ingatestone so close to completion.

It's nearly show time! Everything getting ready for #LFORM this weekend. @ModelRailClub putting on the biggest and best show in the country. (just a teeny bit biased).

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?" And God saw it was good. On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?" And God, again saw it was good. On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And God agreed it was good. On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God, "You asked for it." So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained 😁 Source : unknown

'Boxes and bikes ready for #LFORM at Alexandra Palace this weekend. (1:64 scale)

Trying to break the test track record for the longest train @modelrailclub at Young MRC this morning. 9 engines + 29 coaches. Great to see the youngster's working together - wish I could bottle their energy & enthusiasm.

@lawrenceofthe @ModelRailClub And lots of fluffy fingers.

@Lablass2 @ModelRailClub Might oaks, from little bits of wire, grow

Busy night again @ModelRailClub - tree making session ready for London Festival of Railway Modelling on March 21st & 22nd at Alexandra Palace.

Just popping out to clear the snow. With a model steam locomotive. And a miniature snowplough. Obviously.

The breakdown crane is too long to get into the frame @ModelRailClub this evening.

At least it's in a reasonably large scale. If it were smaller I'd be even more impressed.

As I can't be at the NEC with @ModelRailClub, thought I'd do some modelling. Sometimes it's quicker & easier to scratchbuild than clean up white metal castings. If it's too bad on painting there will be a liberal application of Somme mud!!

@servicerotties Sadly no Rufus this Christmas either - I'm sure that he and Kuno are heavenly mates. I haven't tried the costume on Percy yet. I'll have catch him first!!!!

Admin Post: 5 years ago we had our first holiday season living in the city of Edmonton. I had both legs amputated the year before and finally had found a wheelchair accessible place to rent so I could be closer to medical resources. A stranger from Twitter found me a free Christmas tree and delivered it. Another brought me some decorations they no longer needed. And a few brought me cookies and dog treats. There were strict Covid restrictions in place and many people were struggling with spending Christmas alone. I was still struggling with the fact that I couldn't get into anyone's house. It wasn't just Christmas alone. It was always alone. Just me and the dogs. So we decided to make it the most ridiculously pawsome Christmas ever and share it online. And somehow our little Twitter account connected with a few of you, and we shared photos and videos of Kuno doing great stuff. We raised over $1200 dollars for local charities with our first charity Advent countdow. And Christmas Eve I posted a thread with a bedtime story I wrote called Moe Knows, about a rescued Pitbull. That was how #ChristmasWithKuno started. Inspired by the kindness of some strangers and a way to not feel totally alone. It got bigger in 2021, and 2022, and in 2023 it became Christmas with Kuno and Chesnyy too. I had no way of knowing 2024 would be his last ridiculously pawsome Christmas. Looking back, each of these holiday seasons were made special because of the dogs. Instead of just watching Hallmark movies and feeling sorry for myself, I had dogs holding tubes of icing in their mouth so I could video gingerbread decorating, and I had them doing all sorts of festive crafts. Sometimes it would take hours just to set up the scene. Moving things around in a wheelchair is not easy. But it made my heart feel good to end up with a video of my dog making candles or baking treats to share with his human. And you guys seemed to enjoy them and that made me feel even better. It's our first Christmas with Kuno without Kuno, but I just know he'd fully expect me to unpack the collection of antlers, make a video of Chesnyy decorating the tree and building a gingerbread house. And we'll still do our charity Advent countdown and maybe even have Chesnyy drop off some donations to local places. And we're even going to get some new decorations this year. Some of you have sent us some Christmas ornaments and those are so special to me. The lights on the tree from year one quit working so a follower sent us a new one a couple of years ago. And many of the dollarstore ornaments we hung on the first tree have been replaced with beautiful, funny, or whimsical decorations some of you sent. I love the pickle, the cow, the Connor McJesus, and the Bacon and Burger ornaments. So if you're reading this and you're a stranger on the Interwoof, hi! I'm Marla, a disabled woman in Canada with a really awesome Rottweiler and we're going to make this the most ridiculously pawsome Christmas ever! And you're welcome to join us. And if you've been around for awhile, then you should already have your antlers ready, because holy fluffnuggets, we're going to make a ridiculously pawsome Christmas Kuno would be proud of. So get ready to share some love, laughter, and life. It's going to be a great #ChristmasWithKuno's Spirit!

@AdamWatkinson1 Doing this little lot in 4mm scale (and the seagulls) nearly had the opposite effect.
