flamingknives Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 For those of you not in the UK, I apologise, but I imagine that it will be up on Youtube before long. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nnm3d/James_Mays_Toy_Stories_Airfix/ Basically, James May (of Top Gear) sets out to introduce model kits to 13 year old school kids and ends up making a Spitfire model. In quite a large scale. I thought it was brilliant, and that May deserves a medal for promoting engineering (and model kits, which is a bit of a hobby of mine) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 And IPMS rejoiced! A truly impressive model kit. Wonder who got the Bondo and sandpaper contracts? Would take a lot of tiny paint bottles, too. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 james May's gentle digging at modern society is quite fun. He is far the most likeable of the Top Gear presenters. Which thinking about it has successfully resisted being foisted with a token female for years - which is a good thing even if Clarkson is a tosser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
