Look at what’s arrived.
Barry I am sure you will enjoy every minute of this. Just for interest my father worked in an intelligence section during WW II. One of the assignments he worked on was testing the security of Bomber Command's airfields. He and his team were assigned to infiltrate various airfields and to mark...- wotan

New coming to Netflix
Guys I just saw this upcoming Netflix production, Operation Mincemeat. If you have access this looks like it could be interesting. I remember the original The Man who Never Was> John -
Dragon 1/35 M4 Mortar Carrier - finally completed
Dave Nice job on your half track. I have almost no stash left and probably will never build the two or three models that I have. Would you like this particular kit that I acquired some years ago but never started. It is still in its plastic bags and as you can see I have the full Voyager PE set...- wotan

USS Constipation 1/120 scale Imai long suffering build
Richard You may be suspecting that I am a bit of a sailing ship nerd. Anyway this is approximately how the yards are attached to the mast. At the top I have drawn the positions of the yards when the sails are removed. John- wotan

USS Constipation 1/120 scale Imai long suffering build
Richard The actual shroud extensions as you call them delight in the name FUTTOCK shrouds. The Catharpins are horizontal weaving that tie together the two sets of shrouds (port and Starboard) just below the tops. On this photo you can see the catharpins joining the two sets of shrouds...- wotan

Computer games
Hi gentlemen I am getting on a bit but I don't mind admitting that I still enjoy the odd Computer Game. I was wondering how many of you still play? As a teaser I recently found this game which you may recognise. Now I have to say I have never seen a game so involved, so detailed and so...- wotan

USS Constipation 1/120 scale Imai long suffering build
Richard I admire your patience, for this long job. Don't forget that the rope through the blocks should have a loose end that is simply coiled down on the deck. This is the rope that the gunners clap on to in order to run out the gun. you can see the loose end in this image. You will notice...- wotan

USS Constipation 1/120 scale Imai long suffering build
Richard Very creative way to build these blocks. They are always very fiddly and I hope yours work out. Just as a model here is one of my naval blocks. This is of course a double block whereas most that you need are singles. Also the strapping around this block is metal whereas the more common...- wotan

The beer cellar - in flats
Peter This looks like a very interesting challenge. I hope you don't mind but I decided to try to render your cellar in Blender. Not perfect but I think this could be a good use of this type of software to try out dio's and lighting. John- wotan

USS Constipation 1/120 scale Imai long suffering build
Richard These are of a very dusty HMS Unicorn I built some years ago. You can see how the rigging runs through two blocks, is fastened to the hull and the loose end is coiled down on the deck. Hope that helps. John- wotan

The ultimate scratch building kit
Thanks for the interest guys. I am in steep learning curve mode with lots of experimenting. I have decided to make my man into a WW1 Tommy bust, just to see what can be done. So here is my next step with some hair and an approximate 1914 cap. Now moving on to some clothes etc. This is really...- wotan
