Old Glory March 2019

Earlier today I picked up this issue of Old Glory (issue 349 March 2019) for just 50p from a charity shop in Ledbury, Worcestershire. I was initially drawn to the article about Bulmers Cider and its various vehicles but back home and having taken the time to look through the magazine I have found many articles of interest. Old Glory is not a magazine that I would have usually purchased, but I think I have found a real gem with this issue and I might have to reassess my attitude to this magazine.

The Jabberwocky Tower - Miniature Wargames issue 497

The latest issue of Miniature Wargames (issue 497 - September 2024) has yet another tutorial written by me showing how I built a fantasy tower based on an illustration by Oliver Chipping for Disney and in particular The Jabberwocky poem by Lewis Carroll. Next month there will be a follow-up article showing how I painted the tower.

For more information about the contents, see this post.

The magazine is available from today.

1/35th scale Narrow Gauge Layout -part seven

It's been some time since I updated this Blog on the progress of my 1/35th scale narrow gauge layout. Earlier today I finished off the main bridge with the upper span being built from 5mm thick insulation foam and odd bits of blue foam. I even got some brown ground cover painted.

The layout is going to be an Inglenook inspired shunting layout - something I can easily house in my office and hopefully get some trains running. There is still a lot to do but I am planning on having track laid before the end of the year.
