Meh, I see you're point. Whatever.

I'll be posting pictures of my battleship and cruiser shortly.

I received some of my 1:72 scale soldiers. Painted a few up but it's hard work and I am sure I will get bored soon and go back to playstation. One side effect is that I bought a book on the Sudan wars 1880-1898. Very interesting period and the political machinations are fascinating. Lots of parallels with the current middle east sittuation.
The book is Khartoum: The Ultimate Imperial Adventure. Recommend it for a good read.

I stumbled on this and thought of LW Rommel..... airfix is cool but for those "now for something different" people... how about paper models? these are cool and cheap! some of the sites have free plans...some cost a few dinero. but all are good.
