Check it out - they have a Martian landscape in Stevenage! I suspect itโ€™s the same place they faked the moon landing too๐Ÿ˜œ

My mate has something similar to this - he drives around with โ€˜itโ€™s da sound of da police, whoop, whoopโ€ฆโ€™ blasting over the PA ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜€

My starting word did come up once - itโ€™s surprisingly unsatisfying!

They really should! On YouTube there is also a 1973 programme he presented on the sinking of the Scharnhorst which is superb

Itโ€™s really annoying when you donโ€™t feel youโ€™ve given your best on a project, but to me Rach it looks to have turned out rather splendidly ๐Ÿ‘

Sorry youโ€™re not feeling so good Rich - hope you feel better soon. In the meantime thatโ€™s looking greatโ€ฆ๐Ÿ‘

Iโ€™m old enough to remember a time before it was legal (not that long ago actually) and it drives me insane that we allow it, and itโ€™s massively regressive given the controls over booze and tobacco sponsorship

Iโ€™d just use neat levelling thinner to clean it out. Alternatively Premiair Liquid Reamer is the best lacquer cleaner Iโ€™ve found, but be careful with it, it is seriously โ€˜hot..

Will they use a Fieseler Storch though? ๐Ÿ˜€

Itโ€™s a devastating thing. Itโ€™s often dealt with through a bit of black humour in the industry but has a massive impact all round - some train drivers will never drive again. On the positive side training has improved a lot to help staff spot vulnerable people and offer help.

Ha! I bet they get that question from all the Britsโ€ฆ. Iโ€™ve got the Trackpad book Danish Leopards in Helmand, which is a great readโ€ฆ

Very evocative pic Mr B. MG3? Does it have the same propensity for barrels as its infamous forebear?

Itโ€™s Napoleonic era but similar plot. Used to be a regular Sunday afternoon movie on British TV in the 70s and 80s but not seen it for years. Iโ€™d say itโ€™s worth a watch.

It sounds a little bit like Cary Grantโ€™s the Pride and the Passion..!

For sure! That tank seems to be something of a celebrity - every kit seems to have the same scheme - either 432 or 434โ€ฆ

Will be interesting to see how it compares to the very reliable, but rather old, Tamiya offering
