Thanks Graham, but that's what I did in the post above which gave me the question mark of doom logo! At least it wasn't me being stupid for a change...

Guest T_Tucks Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well that was harder than I'd expected. Thanks Tweedledee. Putting the pictures in the public folder on Dropbox fixed the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wow - that looks like a great setup Tim - congrats on your new scope and glad I was able to help a bit. The Hyperion set is very nice too - I also have the 8, 17, and zoom - can't go wrong with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest T_Tucks Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You were a great help Kim. Now all I need is some clear weather. I tried to dodge the low cloud last night but then it started to rain/snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Perkil8r Posted January 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2015 Fed up with not getting out to do anything I have purchased an indoor distraction, a model kit to build: 1:144 scale The start of a collection maybe?

philjay Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is that the Revell kit Mike? I remember building one in the 70s. Get the LEM next to make the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is that the Revell kit Mike? I remember building one in the 70s. Get the LEM next to make the set. It is yes Phil. I am thinking Saturn 1B next, Shuttle and ISS, all in 1:144. I may consider the Vostok and there are numerous resin kits about that I quite fancy too. No idea where they are all going to go mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I recently started doing the airfix saturn v skylab. My advice is to double check the paint schemes. The airfix one was wrong and has lead to mine needing to be repainted and hence not quite finished as it took all my enthusiasm away. I will get round to finishing properly as it's a great model, it also included the luna module and lander as it's obviously the same kit with different box and instructions. but at the moment it sits in the boys room out of reach.

Perkil8r Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Skylab is on my list too Andy. I have seen quite a few internet things about colours etc so I will be checking before I do too much. Also I see there are a few aftermarket kits to super detail them too. I might have a look at those, or possibly have a go myself. I used to do a bit of scratch building once upon a time. Perhaps we should start a thread for this sort of thing in the coffee shop at some point....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Great stuff Mike I too built the that and the LEM, also in the 70's Phil. Think mine was Airfix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 +1, probably the most useful star atlas out there, simply down to the amount of info and it's practicality. It also doesn't stress the wallet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Streetbob Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What with moving house, lots of work and a wobbly old cg5 mount I haven't been observing for a while. So have bought an ioptron Zeq25gt from Altair. First impressions on opening the box are a very solid, well built piece of kit. It as renewed my enthusiasm and can't wait to use it.
