    Mea Culpa

    I *will* finish that blessed Konigstiger. Very sorry, a lot going on, nearly a year (!) since I touched it last. Can I possibly have the topic unlocked if I promise progress by end of Feb? Patrick ;)

    Tiny Tiger

    Very kind, both. Thankyou! Appreciated :) OK, today I finally (after many months prevarication) got round to making a clamp for my jeweller's saw, (and a support frame for the 'cardboard box that random passing cats sleep in', but that is another story...) This was good. It let me cut a...

    Tiny Tiger

    Progress - started this week: That's a picture frame with a chunk of expanded poly on it. I shall erode this with lacquer solvent and or poly cement in places and plaster over it. There's some of the Airfix Command Post (circa 1975), a strange bit which is in fact the bike sidecar, a chunk...

    Whadda ya readin'?

    Noted! The Grayling was an excellent, thought provoking read fwiw and I'd unreservedly recommend it. Now into Neil Sheehan's 'A Bright Shining Lie' - as recommended by several very helpful ARCers - and am intrigued to find in this wonderful book echoes of Bomber Command...in the USAF's...

    Whadda ya readin'?

    'Among the Dead Cities' by A.C. Grayling. It's a balanced, sympathetic (I have in-laws involved with the actions concerned so would not tolerate it otherwise) engagement with the question of whether the British and US policy of area bombing in WW2 is morally justifiable. This is the latest in...

    Summer Doldrums

    Eek. Guys, thoughts and prayers for your difficult circumstances. Re the modelling, having a ball at the moment. I've discovered I work best under pressure so found an egg timer and have one hour modelling followed by one hour chores. Get more done this way than 2 hours straight modelling...

    Yes indeed. How about it, big woolly-hatted duder? Have you an ETA (however vague) on this most desirable gig? Patrick
