That would be a real treat!

Been looking forward to this immensely!

That's Wasp in the background, is that seconds after the impact of the torpedo on O'Brien?

YouTube video by Howard Halifax Battle of Britain - The final battle

Here’s a link to the climactic scene of the film ‘Battle of Britain’, depicting the events of 15th September. It may not be historically accurate, but it remains possibly the best aerial combat sequence ever filmed.

"By paying such disproportionate attention to Nigel Farage's latest outfit, Reform UK, the BBC is compromising its reputation. To many licence fee payers, the broadcaster gives the impression that it hangs on every word uttered by Farage..."

Looks really excellent! How did you achieve that grouting in the walls?

Three thoughts on Britain’s “DOGE” from Reform in local government. Short 🧵

1. The actual DOGE in the US will, in time, be viewed all round as an unsuccessful & historic disgrace. It achieved next to nothing. The US deficit continues to climb. Even Pres Trump himself is reported to have asked…1/

I love the camouflage schemes on French early war tanks!

I'll be following with great interest!

Someone wants to pimp their MDF....

Ooh now this is very intriguing! Is this for any particular MDF kits? If I zoom in I can see some lovely Dutch looking brickwork (can we get another picture of those?)

Looks like that might be the unfortunate Gen. Kussin!

Really need to cover an unexpected bill - I wouldn't be in any dire straits except for paying late fees at some point, but it'd be preferable to just deal with it now.

Looking for $500 or near to, with tracked shipping priced according to the buyer's location. That's a big wad of toys right there!

Nice! Are those for 25mil bases?

How does one achieve that darker, richer green I see on British tanks?

Alright, had a quick squizz around the internet for what something of this size goes for when it's painted (and actually painted as opposed to, y'know, eBay Pro Painted™). Looking for $500 or close to - a whole-ass army painted up for action with all the toys? G'waaaanyewill.

You've been in Edinburgh today! I pass that statue on my way to work.

If you're a tabletop #Wargamer looking forward to the release of #ChainofCommand2 by #TooFatLardies as I am, then what better way to read up on the campaign I'll likely be playing first (likely with those @hicksy.bsky.social Paras on my workbench).

Amerikanere stemte dørklokker i Nuuk før aflyst besøg, siger Steinmetz Repræsentanter for den amerikanske regering har i de seneste dage stemt dørklokker i Grønlands hovedstad, Nuuk, forud for det nu aflyste besøg fra USA's andend...

American officials in Greenland went door-to-door to find people willing to be photographed with Usha Vance. No takers. Which is wise – who wants to look like a collaborator?

Blue Skies, Paddy.

The full statement reads: The President of the United States has again reiterated the desire for annexation and control of Greenland at a meeting with the Secretary General of NATO on March 13, 2025. In this connection, the chairmen of all the parties elected to Inatsisartut - Demokraatit, Naleraq, Inuit Ataqatigiit, Siumut and Atassut - have the following statement: "We - all party chairmen - cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation and control of Greenland. As party chairmen, we find this behavior unacceptable to friends and allies in a defense alliance. We, as the leaders of all parties in Inatsisartut in Greenland, must emphasize that Greenland continues the work for Greenland, which is already going on through diplomatic channels in accordance with international laws and regulations. We all stand behind this effort and strongly distance ourselves from attempts to create divisions. Greenland is one country that everyone wants to stand behind."| Inussiarnersumik/ Best regards Jens Frederik Nielsen, Demokraatit Pele Broberg, Naleraq Múte B. Egede, Inuit Ataqatigiit Vivian Motzfeldt, Siumut Aqgalu C. Jeremiassen, Atassut

NEW: The leaders of every major political party in Greenland have united in a joint statement against Trump.

"We cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation & control of Greenland. We find this behavior unacceptable.

“Greenland is one country that everyone wants to stand behind."

What a great tattoo!

Ukraine fought alongside US in Iraq; never demanded minerals As the two fight over a minerals deal, we review the little-remembered sacrifices that Ukraine made when fighting in the U.S.-led war in Iraq – sacrifices Ukraine never asked to be compensated for.

Eighteen Ukrainian soldiers died in Iraq. No one gave Kyiv any minerals open.substack.com/pub/countero...

⚡️ Zelenskyy: Peace is needed as soon as possible.

Excellent! I'm currently torn between starting SAGA or Baron's War - so I'm on the look out for figures that might do both. I shall use your painting for inspiration!

These are great! Who manufactures these miniatures? I am a novice in this period, just thinking of dabbling in some games outside of my normal ones.

Fantastic! Looking forward to these.

Ha! That would be great but complete fantasy. Would really make my job search/future commute much easier.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that it's also one of the most expensive routes anywhere in the UK for some completely unfathomable reason?

What a shame! It had been so useful for moving on old wargaming miniatures or projects I wasn't going to finish. Sounds like I might have to try doing that via other means in the future.
