    Scale modelling

    Heller 1/50 AMD-BA/Dornier Alpha Jet. This Heller kit is an odd scale, and not a great kit - colour inaccuracies, lots of fit issues, raised panel lines making correction harder, and detail was rather so-so. Still, it's an interesting and rare subject. I built it as a Dassault-Bréguet/Dornier...

    Scale modelling

    I finished 3 tiny Trumpeter 1/350 scale Curtiss SB2C Helldivers. Easy builds, with masking and airbrushing, enamel details, decals (almost all except the US markings were custom printed by MAV Decals), a wash and exhaust stains, and a matt coat. Each aircraft is a model of an actual, specific...

    The official running thread™

    I really like these shorts: https://underarmour.co.za/products/mens-ua-vanish-elite-2in1-shorts-1378604-001 They meet my specific requirements: 2 in 1 with compression shorts, two normal pockets, and a key/gel pocket with zip. Also very comfortable.

    Weird geyser issue

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I know a lot more about bloody geysers than I did a few days ago...

    Weird geyser issue

    :mad::mad::mad: It was the element! It had been to the supplier 2 or 3 times for testing, and tested successfully on the bench each time. Handyman bought a new one, worked perfectly first time. The faulty one will probably have to go to Kwikot for proper testing.

    Weird geyser issue

    Maybe someone here has an idea what's going on... My son has a 50 litre geyser in his flatlet. The flatlet has its own DB, and I have a Wi-Fi smart switch on the geyser in the DB. Last week I saw water coming from the outside pipe for the pressure relief valve. I got our local handyman out...

    Formal wear with masks...um, no.

    Fuel consumption

    I think that was the same year, but at home. Water got into the electronics of the rack, and I had it replaced with one from a scrapyard. Fun times. The EGR I could probably have just continued with, turning the car off and on again cleared the error, but I didn't want to take a chance on a...

    Year End Functions

    We got invitations for ours, declined. Probably yet another loud thing where you can't talk to anyone.

    Fuel consumption

    I had my Ford's EGR bypassed in Bloemfontein halfway to the coast after it put the car in limp mode. 3 hours, they put in a blanking plate, and bypassed DPF for. That was a memorable trip.

    Jaguar rebrand

    I'm definitely interested. I don't have the money for one, but I'm interested... 🤣

    What book are you reading at the moment ?

    Last night we went to a book launch for books 3 and 4 of the Winter Mage series, written by Nerine Dorman and Frank McLachlan. Really fascinating heading about their writing process; Frank creates the concepts, framework, and world, and Nerine does the writing. Lots of editing, of course...

    Jaguar rebrand

    Their sales have been dismal for decades. The selling point back in the 60s and 70s was luxury and performance much cheaper than the competitors. They have not been able to do that for a long time. So maybe a big shakeup is a last effort to do something.
