Loz is my spirit animal He likes things, he doesn't know WHY he likes them... And that doesn't matter in the slightest!

Loved the stand “Harrier Ted” dedicated to the Harrier, particularly the model of the two seater company demonstrator G-VTOL (desert camouflage) doing the “Farley” vertical take off. At 8-49 you can see that’s what being modelled because of the angle of the aircraft and the main landing gear is retracted but the outriggers are half way retracted. John Farley was the Harrier chief test pilot at Dunsfold Aerodrome the Hawker Siddeley / British Aerospace airfield in Surrey. John Farley perfected the vertical take off with a twist, he’d initially take off vertically with the aircraft level, then lift the nose to near vertical retracting the landing gear at the same time, then climb away, was a very impressive sight to watch the aircraft claw its way into the air by shear engine power! I have to admit to being a little biased, back in the 1970’s/80’s I used to work at Dunsfold on the real G-VTOL, I asked John Farley once “what happens if the engine fails when you’re in the vertical position with no speed?” His answer was “I have to hope that when the tail hits the ground the aircraft falls belly first so I can eject”

Lawrie, Lawrie, Lawrie... you missed the two locos on display on our stand, just next to TMC... Always a pleasure to see you. 😐

[@lmm]

Top busy nattering to you, completely forgot to film sorry

[@BuggleskellyStation]

@@lmm get your priorities straight.

[@lmm]

@BuggleskellyStation next time I will completely blank you, but film that stand

[@Madonsteamrailways]

It’s wonderful to see two guys laughing together about the same thing!!

[@richardsweeney197]

This particular Spitfire Mk 1a is in a distinctive "Lawrie Lozenge Pattern". 😉

[@keab42]

This video brought me so much joy

[@trainswithnickyt]

I'm so glad Howard landed in a good place after leaving BRM. Next time you see him, tell him I'm still waiting for progress on his 10 1/4 class 47 he had planned

[@HerbertErpaderp]

That Borg cube is amazing!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

My favourite war bird, as they’re sometimes called, is the Avro Lancaster Bomber. My mother’s father built the internal frame for it.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

The submarine shown is certainly able to both operate ON the water, and also submerged. A friend of mine had one that got wrecked at the Hoddesdon Model and Railway Club.

[@lswr53]

Great video (with no bull......). Two guys having fun, what ever you skill level which is what model making is all about in my opinion. My skills are definitely average and nowhere those on display in the video, but I enjoy what I do. Keep having fun guys and making great videos

[@Trainsaregreat365]

Stunning

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool model show. 👍

[@zippy5131]

You absolute pair of nutters, brilliant. Got to say Lawries Spit was the best because of the camo sceme and nowt else. Model shows are an absolute amazing thing to see.

[@RHTeebs]

1:00 I see Tom Marshall in the background, there. He makes some very good models.

[@BuggleskellyStation]

@@RHTeebs thanks 😊 Lawrie 'helped' me pack the stand away. Took half an hour longer than usual...

[@notmuch_23]

Just for the record, washes work better with isopropanol (rubbing alcohol, IPA), I like to use 70% so it won't strip paint as readily as like, 99%, but it causes the wash to flow better, settle into the crevices better, and the alcohol evaporates faster than water.

[@davidcollins9791]

Lawrie's plain was the best

[@srajfnly2]

I think you should’ve kept the original title. As you two are muppets 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@Dhira108]

So many models with great diversity, the details are time taken is staggering. I've not done an airfix model for so long, maybe I should buy one to make But yes very few model trains or non military models which is a shame Love the models from Gerry Anderson TV shows, iconic I want one or maybe all of them

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

great like to see the thing you do thanks lee

[@Madonsteamrailways]

We have a tank like the semi open mode at the Whitewebbs Museum of Transport. It just happens that I work in the room in which the tank models are kept.

[@pbyfr]

A lot of great models! Pocher cars are the best, but they are expensive in both money and place. Nice to see Modelu figures in this sort of show, I should soon get my order with the LMM crew (I hope that this package will arrive safe, as I never got the LMM KZbin figures).

[@AndreiTupolev]

I think the biggest one I ever made was a 1/72 B-29 Superfortress. You ought to try that! 😁

[@Lolcatterie]

Please tell TMC that I’m off to look at their website having clicked on your video initially to watch you building the Airfix and not knowing them beforehand…

[@grendel_nz]

You guys are on another planet :) I'm amazed by the amount of time that has gone into that show. Sadly, real war is coming and I hope these ppl will be able to deal with the real hardware. Isn't it easier to paint the bits while they are still attached in the production frames? Do you think this sort of show is essentially mental health therapy? Or qualifies as such 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wonder if ppl modelling battles are still trying to come to terms w such events. It's mind boggling. As long as everyone is happy and costs are covered.

[@RG-Models86]

Looked like an amazing show. 👍 There didn't seem to be much in the way of model boats, though.

[@BuggleskellyStation]

Lawrie missed 2 of the 3 halls... 😂

[@RG-Models86]

@BuggleskellyStation Ah, that explains it 😆. Thanks Tom 👍

[@Madonsteamrailways]

I was wondering if Bachmann were still producing trains in NG7, as they call it!! If so, I would love them to model the Volk’s Electric Railway in Brighton. It’s the world’s FIRST ELECTRIC RAILWAY, built in 1895, elongated to Black Rock in 1897 and has been used ever since!! I’m a fan of this short and early railway.

[@MrDeeej86]

10:05 Lawrie, I am dissapointed that you did not note all the classes of star ships taking part in the Battle of Sector 001. 2 Saber Class 1 Defiant Class 1 Sovereign Class 2 Akira Class See me after class for detention. Bring snacks.

[@Taggart00]

you missed the steamrunner

[@Treehat]

1:23 Lawrie... Look at the models from the F1 Authentics Store. The models on there are a few thousand pounds. Though they are made by a company called The Amalgam Collection who (as far as I understand) buy the CAD drawings for the cars and build the cars with all of those details in. They are also all hand crafted. They do models all the way up to 1:4 scale which cost a little bit of money.

[@bradleysainsbury]

5:31 Mario and Luigi !!!

[@bentullett6068]

TMC are probably thinking, glad we didn't give Lawrie one of those Pocher kits now after seeing the Airfix spitfire assembly 😂

[@TheDarylSharp]

I wonder if KZbin is showing me this because of my viewing history or that I live literally less than a mile from the international centre

[@dliles773]

Lawrie spitfire for me

[@CrazyKitBuilder]

I spent 2 days at Telford and miss lmm 😂

[@lmm]

Sorry! Come see us at the NEC!

[@Thedclasstank]

Most of the ships on.the borg cube are akira class

[@Taggart00]

Did you find the Bismarck for Lynx?

[@Colin-rg7gt]

How are you doing with the mf40 resto

[@Madonsteamrailways]

What plane are you building? Is it a Spitfire?

[@connorjohnson7834]

It's probably best if i never go to one of these, my wallet wouldn't survive

[@hello-m8v]

first comment see you at the nec!

[@jbhtrams]

Please don't sing!!!😂
