| What's New? | |||
| April 23rd, - Only a minor layout change today. I moved the counter from the main greeting page to the homepage to more accurately reflect the number of visitors. I think most people arrive at the homepage first and ignore the other one and I'm sure there must have been more than 14,000 visits since I fired this puppy up exactly 7 years ago yesterday. Happy belated birthday Warped Plastic, you're a big boy now. | |||
| April 17th, 2011, - Okay, it's been a while I must admit. What can I say? Things to do, places to go, people to see. Not really, but it does seem like there just isn't enough time in the day lately. Have no fear though, I have been building whenever I can spare a few minutes, and for the first time ever on this site, there is a seagoing vessel. So without further ado, I bring you the Hobbyboss USS Seawolf. Oh, and another armour model, the Hasegawa Humber Scout Car. | |||
| August 8th, - Well how's this for "reasonably soon-ish"? Today's model is brought to you by the number 5, the letter T and Siga: the Siga T-55 that is. | |||
| August 5th, - No, I haven't been abducted
by aliens, though I sometimes wonder if that might not be such a bad thing.
In fact, I have been hard at work starting my very own little business
- an online model shop to be precise. Called Thunderbird
Models, I will be enlightening the masses on the joys and perils
of all things modelling. Plastic modelling, that is. So please drop on
by, check it out and purchase many, many things so that I can quit my
crappy day job and retire before I'm too old to care anymore. :-) Oh, and yes I have been getting a bit of building done so there will be more new models on here reasonably soon-ish.... |

| January 23rd, 2010, - A belated happy new year to all the assorted Cratchets out there. A wee update today in the miscellaneous models section; it's the Airfix Stephenson's Rocket. | |||
| December 27th, - Okay, it's been a while I must admit. To make up for my laziness, I have not one, not two, but three new models today. Yessirree Bob, it's a red letter day in the land of plastic thingies. Two new entries in the Miscellaneous Models section, Heller's Bart Simpson and Revell's Spitsfire plus one new 72nd scale aircraft, Revell's MBB Bk 117 helicopter. | |||
| October 5th, - Don't get too excited, it's only an update to the guestbook today. Getting more than a bit tired of these assholes who keep trying to plug their pathetic little porno sites so there is now a spam blocker incorporated into the guestbook. No doubt they'll find a way around that but hey, I command the almighty power of the delete button. More models coming soon... | |||
| June 4th, - It's a tank by golly, and a French one at that. Trumpeter's Char B1 bis to be precise. | |||
| March 15th, - Gosh durn it kids, it's another one of them pesky WWI biplane critters. Someone get out t' yonder tree an' cut me a switch.... Roden's SE5a is today's treat. | |||
| March 8th, - Continuing to work on the new format when time permits, which isn't often. I did split up the miscellaneous models link page into dedicated car, ship & sci-fi/space pages and added quite a few new links while I was at it. | |||
| February 21st/22nd, -You might notice things
are a bit different around here. I've been thinking of giving WP a makeover
for a while now but wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do. Never was completely
happy with the navigation buttons and the sub-menus so these were the first
to go. Also, as cars & sci-fi were becoming more numerous, I decided
they needed to come out of "miscellaneous models" and graduate
to their own dedicated sections. I got rid of the contact form which, for reasons unknown, became u/s and replaced it with an email link. Anyone that's contacted me over the past few months and didn't get a response now you know why. Andy finally, I've reinstated the guestbook which I'm quite sure will be populated on a daily basis by idiots trying to get me to go to their herbal viagra websites or whatever. I'm still working out the details and making sure all links are back up and running but hope to have the new design finalised in the next few days. Hope you like it. |

| January 9th, 2009, - Happy new year and all that. I actually finished today's model months ago but photographing it has been a bit problematic. Over a year ago I bought a fancy-assed new 8 megapixel camera with all the bells and whistles... and promptly discovered my old 1 megapixel camera took much better close-up pictures. Progress... hmmph!! So all this time I've been using my old camera for macro shots. That is, until a couple of months ago when it finally gave up the ghost and refused to download anything onto my pc. So I've been forced to use the new camera and I was less than pleased with the results. After much arsing about (even read the manual again which was, of course, a complete waste of time!) I've managed to get some reasonable pics that I think I can live with. So without further ado, allow me to introduce several buh-zillion pixels worth of Revell's Beatnik Bandit. | |||
