Either Iโ€™m having a 1960โ€™s fever dream or I am indeed going to embark on this mad challenge! Wish me luck, Iโ€™m going in!

Hereโ€™s a different model from the norm. Not one piece of plastic! Wood and metal and a damn faff it was too! Instructions were vague at times so probably no way near anatomically correct. But it appealed to my engineering background.

Finished my Puma duoโ€™s from old Airfix mouldings and rather dodgy decals!

#universitychallenge surely this competition should be for undergraduates and not flipping Phd students!

Iโ€™m building a couple of vintage Pumaโ€™s by Airfix at the moment. Iโ€™ve got a special Tiger scheme for one of them. I hope the decals still work as they are pretty old!

My beautiful butterfly has emerged. Excuse the historically inaccurate vehicles but they give a sense of purpose. Airfix vintage Bristol Superfreighter.

I really think Ben should explain the correct answers to the questions, not just casually move on! The audience arenโ€™t always aware of why such and such is correct etc. donโ€™t you agree? #tippingpoint

Vickers Wellington update! Finished. Such a lovely model and what a complicated bomb bay configuration! Barnes Wallis was a mad genius ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#lastleg surely Alex Brooker doesnโ€™t qualify for any government grants or support because he is obviously self sufficient and independently wealthy now. Sure anyone not so gifted needs support but he certainly doesnโ€™t.

Just a work in progress to prove Iโ€™m still alive! Not following any particular theme at the moment. Just modelling for modelling sake.
