I’ve always wondered about that line. It’s like saying “my car can do the Tescos run in 7.5 miles”. Er…….- Tim Marlow

The radio series was great…..slightly different story to the books, which were different to the TV series. Definitely worth a relisten if you can find it.- Tim Marlow

The National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire
Thanks for these Jim. That’s somewhere I would like to go someday. We are always keen as a country to highlight what we do badly, but places like this are something in which we are world leaders.- Tim Marlow

Yes, Douglas Adam’s hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series has been on stage, screen, radio, books, and TV as I remember it. Books are best, but the BBC radio series is a close second. Film and TV were pretty poor.- Tim Marlow

If you have something in mind, you can always ask on here. Someone will probably have made it, or one close to it George.- Tim Marlow

I got mine from Douglas Adams. Fermi and Drake take no account of the distances involved, so are both flawed thought experiments. Deism I will not debate here. Evolutionary biology is not a theory. The theory was postulated by Darwin in his treatise “On the origin of species by means of...- Tim Marlow

No Chris. What I’m saying is, on average, there is no intelligent life in the universe, so anyone you meet anywhere is a figment of your imagination……it’s a maths joke….. I actually believe there must be life on other worlds, but that the distances involved are too great for us to ever meet.- Tim Marlow

OK, let’s take this back to (possibly spurious) basic mathematics and work out the average number of live organisms per planet. There are an infinite number of stars (and therefore planets) out there. Our star system shows that not all planets support life. This means that there is a...- Tim Marlow

6th June 1944 - D-day
I actually think D-Day coverage is pretty good most years, it was certainly on the news today, and there is usually at least one other program around if you want to see the same films and ideas rehashed. However (there’s always a however) it always seems like the rest of the war never happened...- Tim Marlow

BLADES.
Agree with Miko. For MDF use a Stanley knife with a decent quality sharp blade. Blunt blades mean more effort, and more effort means more chance of the blade slipping and cutting what you don’t want it to cut. Start with light cuts and add a little more pressure as the cut deepens. Scalpels...- Tim Marlow

BLADES.
Swann Morton are by far the best. The blades are listed in Toto’s link. Personally I use 15a and 11 type blades, but I do have quite a few others for different uses. Hard to make a shape recommendation for you without knowing the use you are putting them to though.- Tim Marlow

Syringe
Just be aware that you can get ten of them for the price of two from Deluxe if you look for ink filling syringes on Amazon or similar. It’s just a 5ml luer lock syringe with a 14 gauge blunt needle. Very useful , as John says, but just a standard item repacked and marked up for modellers.- Tim Marlow

Small cannon guns
Vulcan models do a 2pdr in 1/35th. However, for the sort of scenario you are describing, I’m not sure that would be the right gun for you. Vickers MG would suit better…..- Tim Marlow

Seen that. Not so sure about the drone delivery system though, well, unless you want a 7000 part dinner service 😂- Tim Marlow
