  1. Stunning Cutter, Tim, she looks gorgeous. You should be very pleased with yourself and rightly so!!😉
  2. I do like a tin top GT racer🙂. I'm in!
  3. Must feel pretty weird stepping out onto 'ground level' from the first floor😲
  4. It may be a bit late but Cornwall model boats do cherry and pear strips at 5mm x 0.5mm
  5. Throwing a spanner in😉 the works, it could have been a stray Congreve rocket! notoriously inaccurate, so could have been a case of friendly fire. The rocket regiments patron was the Prince Regent, so they were foisted on Wellington, who did not like them, but were frightening to face for both cavalry and infantry that they tolerated in the British forces due to demoralising the enemy troops.
  6. Could also have been fused mortar/howitzer shell, basically hollow shot filled with gunpowder and a fuse. Bit of a gamble because the fuse had to be cut the right length, else it went off too early. A bit like the grenades, that the grenadier companies used in the early 1700s
  7. That blue is just the ticket Denis, excellent adapt and overcome with the fuel ports. Very good looking plane 😉
  8. That Gorilla brand is good, their wood glue is also excellent, and the CA gel stops even me gluing my fingers to the model 😉 Can't wait to see turret interior detailing and the new kit!
  9. It's worth buying the Cedar just for the smell😉 I'm looking forward to seeing another Winnie come to life
  10. I agree with Matt, in my humble amateur opinion, both W1 and W2 look fine, no!, more than fine, I would be happy with either version, but we all find faults with our own builds, that others may not see. I know if I built another Winnie I would use liteply, not mdf, for the bulkheads, for ease of cutting and fairing. At the end of the day it is your build and if you'd feel happier doing mk3, go for it. Btw the white hull looks good and you have W1 wood so best of both🙂
  11. I found the British TV show Called Battleground and hosted by Edward Woodward. I got two of the battles wrong, they were Gettysburg and Battle of the Nile, not Bull Run and Trafalgar. I also took some years off me as I was 13 not 8🙄 that's what happens when you try to recall events from 43yrs ago They did six episodes and they are on YouTube
  12. Some 40 + years ago there was a tv show on Saturday morning in England that refought famous battles in miniature, the ones I remember best were, 1st Bull Run, Waterloo and Trafalgar. The tables must have been 10' × 20' and the miniatures were always fantastic, basically it's what got an eight year old boy into proper wargaming instead of setting up knocking down games. Mark do you happen to know the name of the show? I'd love to see it.
  13. Very nice Craig, I love the touch of green, but then I suppose it is a Kawasaki!
  14. Once again thanks Patrick. I'll give that a try.
  15. Thank you Patrick, I've done as you suggested, and it's now all ok😉
  16. 126 metres!! Most of the hills we have would disappear beneath that much😄 Yes we tend to get much rain but I've noticed we've been getting heavier, longer rainfall for the past few years, coupled with milder winters
  17. Reading that post makes me realise that British weather is pretty much non league stuff compared😂, stay warm and safe Jack
  18. That is huge, the Royal Greenjackets Museum has a 25sq metre dio, with over 30,000 men, gun and cavalry. This is 1:72 scale
  19. Oh man, that would be one hell of a dio, I've seen one in 6mm and 15mm but as you say you'd need a fair space at 28mm. I think the actual battlefield was about 4 or 5 square miles in area, though without looking it up ,I can't be certain
