The wife thing….just priceless. My caption might have been a bit different; like adding more kits to an already impossibly large stash–or perhaps selling off kits in your stash (at a loss), so you can get money to justify buy other kits for the stash…
“Honey, the B-25’s have individual nose art decals. Darling, it has turned brass barrels for the 5 inch guns as standard. It has 44 sprues! Baby, it’s 124 cm long!” Actually, it was after the last one I heard the slamming of the door. I think she’s coming round…
Ah. Neil. Re-reading that comment, I did mean ‘keep bikin’ – as in ‘biking’. I was not in any way insinuating that you may walk around in women’s swimwear…
Actually, I think someone modelled this at Telford maybe four years ago, when Competition was still in the old exhibition hall; it’s a fairly well known image, but still eye-catching.
The things we learn here!
Bikini-wearing wives, wacky races, waxing, wifely bribery, and so on. Amazing! You people are GREAT! I needed these moments of levity.

Regarding number 3. That’s not what my bloody wife said when she saw the price of the Merit 1/200 Hornet…

Shouldn’t that be “what my wife said when she saw the bloody price….”?
You are a very brave man.

Nope. I got it right first time, Rob.

When it comes to the marriage relationship my motto is ‘bravery through bribery’.

Remember, the word “Stash” has pride of place on the Screwball Spectrum.

Too late. You’ve said it now.
