No, not been ignoring the good folks on RMS at all, but I switched accounts on my Usenet provider and it was the devil's own job to get them to give me posting access. Been following the group Read Only for about three months, which isn't really the same but at least it was something. Been busy too. At least, what counts around here as busy. Five completions this year. Well, four and a half because I'm including the Airfix Lightning that was part done last year. Aiming for seven by Christmas, number six is the CA Hornet F3 which is 70% done, but number seven is going to be the Airfix 1/48 Banana Bomber (apparently also known as a "Buccaneer". Funny name for an aircraft that). Call it seven and a half then. Anybody have good line on cheap filler? Posted some updates on the binaries group, so do have a look and take the piss as necessary!

I still use automotive glazing or spot putty. But, it is only available in very large tubes these days, so I find it is going bad before I finish the tube. Still, I get enough from the tube that I find it less expensive than hobby shop filler. 'Course, I have been building a number of putty queens lately :-( Working on the Testors Graf Zeppelin. That is taking a ton (well, that is an exaggeration, of course- more like a pound) of putty.
