    What a plonker !

    Hi guys, thanks for the support; I was surprised that so many had similar accidents. I have good news on two fronts: the thumb was checked at the Fracture Clinic and it is healing well, no sign of infection, and I now have a nice puple cast. It seems odd that the wound is limited to the end...

    Its all a bit of a bind - one done, 50 to go ...

    Hi all I set myself the target of binding the first 30 years (1971 -2000) by the end ov this year, and just managed it. Here is a photo of the first 31 volumes. why 31? The reason is that 1997 had 19 issues, so I split it in two Volums. Peter

    Small scale WW2 dioramas

    most of today was spend drawing up some detailed plans of the bar billiards table I am about to start building, but I found enough time to work on the Stug: The plastic is a little too thick but the thinnest I have, any thinner and I doubt if it would be strong enough to hold together...
