Is this code for the announcers needing a pit stop of their own or something that is deliberate so the viewing audience can get a different view of the race?
I don't know if I should love or hate this sub...
I have learned more in the last few months reading here than I have in the last 30 years. I'm almost entirely self-taught and have little time to work on models. Maybe 20-30 hours a years (job and family first). I got a new airbrush, changed a few techniques and have tried weathering for the first time (with mixed results...). No doubt my next model will be better than the Warspite I'm working on now, which in several ways is already better than the British MTB I finished last.
However, I now look at my old kits and hate that I wasted so much time doing things wrong or could have simply done them much better or easier. I almost feel disappointed now when I look at my old models. This sometimes makes me wish I carried on in my ignorance, thinking I did a good job on my older kits. I see some here who made extraordinarily realistic models and look at mine and they seem a bit basic.
I guess all you can do is learn and carry on right?
1:350 HMS Warspite, 1.5 years in, 80% done
First, excuse my ugly desk. I do the best I can with what I have.
It has taken me about 1.5 years to get this far as job and family come first. Great kit for a great ship. I'm satisified with how the deck went, using slightly different colours and using a 0.3mm pencil to make each "piece of word" stand out, especially since this was a first try. Less happy about my first attempt at adding rush/wearhering at the portholes. How all the bits have gone together, getting rid of seams etc... has gone very well.
Now I need to figure out if I want to do a wash for the hull and superstructure. I have never done any sort of weathering, shading, washes or anything like thay before and am very nervous about trying it given how long it takes me to finish 1 kit and I don't want to ruin all that effort.

It's on this weekend again. Seems quite popular still. I can hear concerts and engines from motocross in my back yard. Not my cup of tea, but that's fine, beacuse I love that it is still alive and that so many have fun at it.
Too many peoole these days have a whinge because they don't like a certain thing without realizing thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of others do. I hope everyone who goes has a great time and comes again next year!
