      Hi Tim, should be a fun little project. Not sure when.......perhaps this coming winter.

        Not quite Neil......I spotted a similar little complex on the net that the Germans had converted into a field Hospital, as well as some of the uses Paule E has put this to, I thought I'd give one a try! It did come with 2 unopened boxes of soldiers,. 36 British Cav. and 48 Prussian Infantry. Lord knows what I'll do with them.

          Hi Mr. Smiff, I just need a place to park all the Red Cross cars and Ambulances I have built, so thought this kit would make a nice little Field Hospital diorama.

            HI all

            So for some reason by wife decided my existing book case was not big enough for all the books I've bought since coming back to the hobby......I personally think it was very well balanced....... :smiling5:





            This resulted in a trip to Ikea today to buy this.....not perfect but the size of the space we have to get it into is very restricted and so we're pretty limited on choice......and it was only £25.







            Junior helped with the assembly....and once we'd put these onto it......





            It looks like the below.......I still have to properly sort out the order and the like but you get the idea......and I was even generous enough to let my wife have a shelf!!!:smiling5:

            Oh and the second shelf down is my 'to be read' shelf'!

            ATB

            Andrew

            PS I do though still have at least three boxes of books in the loft from when I was a member of the Military and Aviation Book Society back in the late 80s and 90s

              I've used both AKs and VMS, couldn't see any difference Tony. I add a few drops per 10 of paint .

                          books, tomes are tangible, and do make a break from bench or screens a pleasure, that is why we buy them

                                Nothing particularly exciting but the usual first class service from John. Two aerosols of the best airbrush cleaner on the market in my opinion :smiling: A scriber. Three tins of metallic enamel for dry brushing.

                                One query. The Liquid Reamer meant the parcel had to be sent by courier rather than Royal Mail. The courier was a man in a van and Royal Mail is a man in a van - what's the difference. :thinking:???
