I'm waiting for a Burgundian to send me one as a present.

A friend's uncle was a Polish pilot who joined the RAF. His many exploits included taking down 6 V1s but he was killed in an accident early in 1945. I made my friend a model of his aircraft - custom decals, etc - but this happened and now I have to start again. Army Painter, you know what you did!

Thanks very much.

Apologies if you have already said, but what software is this that you're playing GdA and CoC on? It looks great and might be a solution to living on a different continent to some wargaming friends and in a different state to others. Thanks very much.

No GIFs for In Which We Serve or The Cruel Sea, so this:

Well, it is summertime and the livin' ought to be easy.

Interesting that the same Churchill is on the cover of two of them.

One issue that I've had with Rubicon kits that I've not had with others is that they don't "grip" quite as well as the glue dissolves the surface. I find they need to be held rather longer and they need a bit more care so that the join doesn't "slip". They do ook good when they're done though.

Bravo Zulu.

Hello, Mike, might I fill an RN role? (Not First Lord of the Admiralty, though, I annoy enough people already.) Thank you.

Very nicely daubed. The way you did the tufts really sets it off.

You're not the only one.

At least you now have adult supervision.

The internet is forever.

What you say is sooth!

Now, how how on earth could both of these turned up at the same time? Complete mystery. #spreadthelard

Thanks, Bill.

Very nicely done.

Thanks very much. I used the Battlefront templates and the Jemima Fawr colours which seem to have worked out.

I'm still on the Cold War tangent and knocked out these Canadian vehicles to support the tanks I did last week. For Battlefront: Northag or the #IABSM variant. #spreadthelard

Those look excellent as well as useful.

Thanks again. I'll drop you a line separately, if I may.

That's very kind of you, Tom. I've been steadily building a 15mm collection of 1980s ("Back in My Day" tm) kit and hadn't ever really got it on the table. I'm hoping to change that with these despite it being only one of far too many ongoing projects. I'll definitely take you up on that.

It's my own fault: I keep reading the excellent posts by @tomjmegan.bsky.social and, lo and behold, this arrived in today's post. I thought I should grab it quick in case it goes the way of NORTHAG which I've had for years but never tried.

Just trying to keep the bits separate in anticipation of the warm soapy water. Now, if I could just remember where I put my dollar store sieve.

I saw this just the other day in the supermarket car park at Goldens Bridge, New York. I couldn't help but take a picture. The driver didn't come out - probably scared of the British nutter taking pictures of his car.

Preparations for #CoC2. Mostly heavy recce from Jeff Trnka at Die Waffenkammer up in Canada. Lovely models. Also an Empress airborne jeep and a Company B cut-down Morris 15CWT. #spreadthelard

And I am very, very old - I started with Mike's Models c.1978-80.

Ta.
