Sorry I'm totally confused. What video - what are you talking about ?

I'm just looking at their returns and cash holdings over the past few years.

I don't think that at all. I do it because I value your skills. I don't think the models go up in value. Well not yet.
But you would have to get a more appropriate company name. Drop the ensign and go full on colonel mustard.

This is an interesting question, and one that I have been pondering myself recently.

My own thinking is that good weathering increases a models value ie. some people will be willing to pay significantly more for a better looking model than a pristine one. In the case of renumbering, renaming and slight livery changes, I think that increases it even more.

My own amateur weathering business seems to confirm this. Its doing very well, in large part due to repeat business from forum members and facebook users, many of whom buy brand new models and send them to me. They are happy to pay £25 for me to weather them, plus extra for renumbering in some cases. They obviously think a £100 model is then worth the £125+ that they will have ended up paying for it. Though I suppose its all a matter of personal taste.

I have been wondering about buying brand new models, doing a good weathering job (and potentially fitting stayalives) and then selling them on for a small profit. I wonder if its worth doing...

Well I decided to treat the wife to a takeaway yesterday using the Just Eat app. I have not used them for ages since I ended up having to collect the meal myself lastime, meal delivered somewhere else even though they give you a number to give the driver.
Well it was a disaster again, they offered me a voucher 80% off which did not work, ie not available from this outlet. Then some of the meal was missing, and what was there was not that warm so one negative review for them not trying that again.....

Well, I tried not to react ... but 

That BP video cheered me up too, Colin 

Yes, 2am here and woke up and saw that. I feel better already!

I believe these are what are called football teams in common parlance  but I think this might cheer @Bealman up on his bed of pain... https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/158/2975-220326140105.jpeg
