Nowt wrong with the maroon Warship

It's beautiful! I impulsively sold mine early this year and now regret it.

Thanks Mike!

Including 1940s French Cafe staff, a certain Doncaster corner shop owner with the District Nurse, and some very Flash(heart) WW1 soldiers.

I've done a bit of shopping lately, special thanks to @Southerngooner also for the Bulleid coaches.

Quote from: Steven B on September 02, 2026, 09:09:02 AMHas anyone found Dad's Army figures?

Smart Models do a 1940's Home Guard Platoon, which is obviously the Dads Army Characters, the down side they require painting.

Also many other sets are available

They also make:

a set of former soldiers as a team on the run

Miami undercover detectives

A set of wizards and magicians meeting

At https://www.photogra-fix.com/print-shop you'll find Mrs Wilberforce and the Lady Killers, Count Binface, Morcambe and Wise, Laurel and Hardy, Bob Symes together with Eddie and Richie from Bottom.

Quote from: Moonglum on September 01, 2026, 04:54:06 PMI think that before this particular topic spirals any further downhill, it would be helpful if the NGF moderators could look closely at the NGF's Code of Conduct to see if any of its rules have actually been broken by the original post (OP) and/or subsequent posts.

Clearly, the OP has caused (rightly or wrongly) some outcry and complaint as well as some (rightly or wrongly) support. Since the original thread under General Discussion/hobbies has been deleted I can pass no further comment.

It is possible that the Code of Conduct needs to be further updated to deal with this kind of situation. Perhaps @scottmitchell74 could take the time read the section in the Code covering Bullying or Grievances - see Welcome and Introduction.

From a personal point of view, if the opportunity arises, I like to take part in laser pistol shooting, airgun shooting and archery for my enjoyment so therefore in this case I can see both points of view. @Ali Smith has made some reasonable and balanced points.

I hope this helps.

For What It's Worth: I properly used the "Other Hobbies" Section to start discussion about a hobby.

I then used the "Angry Thread" to express my anger at having my innocuous post deleted because of complainers - an incredibly arbitrary and low bar for deleting something.

Absolutely nothing about what I posted was abusive, bullying nor did it violate current rules... unless I missed something.



The pearl clutching over a fun video of my 110# daughter successfully shooting a can of grape soda is frankly both hilarious and, well... pathetic.

Lesson learned! No more glorious examples of our wildly important and coveted 2nd Amendment being expressed.

I will reserve my discussion to trains, baseball, music and random nonsense... and use the angry thread to complain about fragile N Gauge locomotives.

Quote from: mojo on September 01, 2026, 11:31:30 AMWhen selling items by auction, ebay only list "simple postage" which gives BUYERS compensation for loss in transit but not SELLERS.

Whatever system is used, if an item is lost in transit only one party needs to receive compensation for the item not BOTH.

If the compensation is paid to the SELLER; the SELLER will need to return the funds they received from the buyer...
If the compensation is paid to the BUYER; the SELLER retains the funds they have already received from the buyer...

They do, separately... Sold and sold.
