    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Anyone who says that "If you don't like this thread, you shouldn't read it" tells me everything that I need to know; that it is has deviated from the spirit of the rules and should be called off-side and reined in. The fact that I read it tells me so. Alas, the referees and linesmen aren't here...

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    My claim that this thread should be closed down was made because, if nobody else has noticed, the referees have left the pitch! (or so it seems to me). I don't understand it myself. And the notion of "If you don't like it, don't read it or stay away" - is not applicable to TFL. ALL THREADS...

    May I please ask what a sticky is, Sloan? Thank you.

    Aero Leather Clothing trial update

    Indeed. Downhill. This thread is poison and runs counter to the spirit of TFL. As was stated a while ago by Sloan himself, this case would always leave as many unanswered questions as it answers - and in an attempt to fill in the unknowns, the rife speculation on peoples' private lives and...

    Any B-10 USAAF flight jacket expert here? Need help.

    Here's an evaluation of a Real McCoys Stagg B-10 from 2000 if it helps: http://www.acmedepot.com/a2jacket/eval_RMB10.shtml

    My amazing Alexander Leather B3

    A great jacket and at the right price! Score! The fit looks great and the colours too. The fluffy fleece will settle in time - just wear it as much as you can and in all weathers (the more inclement the better!) and it'll just look better and better … Wear it in good health … thanks for posting!

    Teaser Trailer for an upcoming thread

    PS. So none of this is going to be in the upcoming thread, so I'm very glad to be able to illustrate here why my jacket has the art that it does! But there is a bit of an introduction in which I briefly explain why I chose "Lucky Dog" for the design (the full explanation was made a couple of...

    Thanks to each and every one of you for the kind comments - I appreciate each of them! Thank you! Monitor: that's a special dog you have there. Good for you for taking him in. Cursed? I don't think so. I think it's a very special duty and service he's provided - being the companion in his...

    Because everyone in the UK remembers that catsuit! Hell, even I remember seeing her on Top Of The Pops doing "Can The Can" - and I was 6! And I thought she looked cool - and like a star. Which she was.

    Thank you Navetsea - and good eye on the bomb tallies - they're all pets. The duck "decoy mission" represents our parrot and the smaller bombs are our small breed dogs - all animals bar one are rescues and adoptions, mostly from Texas - even the parrot is an adoption! We rescued our first dog...

    Well, it can - if you do the right prep and use good materials (some are more permanent than others) and don't abuse what is the finished work (as in treat it as though it's indestructible) … it'll last! My old Stand By art has just 3 or 4 tiny pin-prick sized flakes missing after years of wear...

    You're right there. Imagine laquer thinner on leather! No way, man. Miss a little and kiss those lovely tanned dyes goodbye. Safer with water-based, methinks.

    Oh, the pervasive thug-mentality is as frightening as it is dismaying. Being in the pub and getting: "Oi! You looking at my girlfriend?" "What? Er, who are you? Er, no. Of course not." "Why not?! You saying she's ugly? Is that what you're telling me?" Oh Jesus …

    Teaser Trailer for an upcoming thread

    Okay, so I just put a call into my local hobby store and asked them about Tamiya acrylics and their permanence - and was told that Tamiya are unique amongst all their competitors in that the Tamiya acrylics are alcohol-based, not water-based! Very interesting! For this reason, they tend to be...

    I wish I could tell you something more useful here, Big J. I was given my first Airfix kits (a P-51 Mustang and a Spitfire! I felt so lucky!) at the age of 6 and I learned to use Airfix paints; enamel-based of course. And I've always used enamels as I've learned how to get the results I like...

    After feeling the need to walk away from this thread for my own good, I later decided to quietly follow this thread with a peg on my nose and am glad it's over. I hope the bonhomie I usually associate with this place may now return. As for the sentence of 21 months, I think it's absolutely to...
