The 'hopper shell is unlike most Tamiya kits in that it is hard ABS white plastic, which is deliberate as you can sticker it up and get pretty close to Box art, Without having to paing anything, in keeping with the entry-level nature of the kit.

I may get another shell off eBay as son no. 2 wants it in candy green.

I decided to paint the plain ABS body of my Tamiya Grasshopper. I let my son choose the colour. Of course it's fucking bubblegum pink.

This is a tune. Goes a lot of places. The last third is real rain on a tin roof territory.

Nothing says 'job targets' like getting 2 emails and a voicemail a week from a vendor and then silence when you ask a question.

IT sales people are like sales people everywhere; 80% of them are completely useless. They'll bombard you with calls and emails but the second you need them to be useful they're mysteriously busy.

Well this is just lovely from Tamsin Greig.

Probably the first laptop that really delivers on marketed battery life.

I know Apple Silicon is basically stuffing phone/embedded tech into a laptop, but holy shit the battery life is absolutely bonkers good.

RIP the amazing Paul Ritter.
