Gloucester away-day

Part two of our weekend away saw us visiting Gloucester and taking time out to have a picnic at the Jet Age Museum which is on the Staverton airfield. The weather was fine, if a little windy and we sat at the picnic tables at the side of the airstrip. My highlight was seeing (and hearing) a Havard take off - boy is it loud.

This particular Meteor has a non-standard canopy, it looks like a T33 canopy to me.

Shrewsbury away-day

Another away-day, this time to Shrewsbury, where I took these images.

The image below was a modern reproduction of a timber framed building which I thought caught the traditional construction style very well.

Happy Birthday to me - some of the presents

In addition to a new sketch book and some gift vouchers for W H Smiths (newsagents/book seller in the UK), I received this near pristine second-hand copy of the Andreas Miniatures Catalogue from Sue and a copy of Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman from Holly and John.

Tomorrow Sue and I are having a weekend away while Holly looks after Flo and we will be celebrating Mothers Day with a picnic in Gloucester.

Models For Wargamers Book official launch this weekend

On Sunday, Sue and I will be at the West Midlands Military Show, Alumwell where I will be officially launching the Dampfpanzerwagon Guide No. 3 - Models For Wargamers. My intention is to have models from all three books on display plus some others, for example the resin casts from the Panzerfauste range and a couple of models that have featured in magazine tutorials. If you are attending, please stop by and say hello.

I have a couple of copies of More Wargame Terrain which will be sold for just £15.00 a copy but it will be the new book that I will be concentrating on.

Rathcore Holders & Grips

Earlier this week my Rathcore Miniature Holder and Grip arrived. I had chosen the larger, pale wooden handle with extra cork inserts for my pledge and all were delivered safely. I have still to try it out but I must admit that they are beautifully made - true works of art.

For details please see this Kickstarter link.
