James May and Airfix kits

[Sysman]

Didn't the Meccano 10 come with a wooden case with drawers to hold it all? I had a cousin that had that.

Yes it did. I've a vague memory that you didn't get the case if you went the upgrade route.

I used to do airfix models. I liked the displays you'd see in the shops with models hung from the roof on string. I attempted to recreate it but when they went wrong turned them into crashed planes for my 'display'. As time went on I built up a large collection of 'crashed planes' and but no finished ones to hang up. I told people that the battle finished ages ago and they buggered off

I once got a scalpel and some hot pins.

Took the flamethrower off of an american marine, the head of a german fallshirmjaeger and the crawling body of some othe plastic soldier.

I ended up with a crawling paratroop flamethrower man. Painted him up in camoflage smock colours. He was only one inch long, but I loved that little nazi.

We watched a telly program last night - all of us and it was very entertaining - shock horror!

James May was attempting to make a life size airfix kit of a spitfire,and he got a bunch of people to then help him put it together. I really enjoyed it - problem is that Pogle Jr now wants an airfix kit - can anyone out there advise on an easy one to start off with?

I would actually start by asking if Pogle Jr. likes any certain periods of aviation or warfare? For example I was reading biggles at his age and that got me wanting to recreate what he and his pals were flying in. (I am sure someone will insert the usual innuendo soon )

Or does she drag / beg you to go to certain areas in museums to look at spitfires or something else like tanks etc?

I started on German WWI planes as they were for the most part brightly coloured, The Red Baron for example.

1:72 scale and get Dad to do the decals until he gets the hang of them (I never did!)

Warning this may drive her to have you tearing around the country to go look at various museums etc. If that is the case Duxford will solve all problems

HTH

So that made me do a Google search (there are THOUSANDS of web pages with both 'Airfix' and 'dildo' )

Anyway, I came across the following gem. It is an 'inappropriate item stuck in an inappropriate place' story. It's text and it's NSFW. Stinky linky.

My eyes MY EYES!

This might be a good one to get. It's a starter kit with the paints and brushes included.

Gosh how very witty of you - suggesting a dildo for my 9 year old daughter, you must be very proud.
Not remotely inappropriate or offensive eh?

Gosh you're right. What if you had actually bought her one. Oh, wait... you and your daughter are not the same person and she (I hope) doesn't come on CUK too much.

The Airfix Dildo is the easiest to put together but you must wait for the glue to dry before using.

Actually re-reading your first post I think we need a new higher horse for Pogle to get onto. Your initial comment does not mention the sex of your child. Also since Airfix models were generally the domain of boys and and didlos are generally the domain of women, I think it is safe to assume that the 'didlo kit' was aimed at you and not your child.

Oh dear, have I hurt some poor blokes feelings - what a shame eh?


I should know better than to ask a simple and straightforward question on this board populated by near Neanderthals who think sex with a pumpkin is the height of sophistication.

There are some reasonable folk on here who are quite genuinely funny and helpful and then there are the misogynistic bed-wetting trouts with minds filled with the rotting pus of innuendo, suggestion and unimaginable sexual couplings.

Oh I feel better for that rant
