  1. Wow, I always wanted to attempt this 1/16 Tamiya build after doing their 1/35 Tiger back in my early teens, even badly attempting a DIY interior build with match sticks and whatever sprue (heat stretched) or cardboard was to hand. back then, mid 70's with no internet resources, you had no idea of how much detail you could aspire to. It's always been such a wonder to see how much this LSM community can achieve and honour past history in scale. Many regards from Australia.
  2. Hi All. I enjoyed a great Audible book narrated by Neil Graham Hansen just called "Flight" I'd love to know if any of you had read or listened to this book. Having visited Vietnam and Laos from Australia, I was always keen to hear as much history from as many involved on all sides. My interest in the complexity there was all sparked off by first finding a book to read in Loas, by Chistopher Robins called "The Ravens"
  3. Just make sure you ask to add a PSA test, when you next have a blood test. You may already be doing this as this is a good clue if its prostrate issues. But good luck, did not sound at all enjoyable, but then so would seeing your stash dispersed. Regards Iain
  4. How the Australian radioactive capsule was found? Another great Matt Golding Cartoon https://twitter.com/GoldingCartoons/status/1620686537238401030
  5. Not reading, but listening to this books narration.. Critic Reviews "Beautifully researched and written, Into the Black tells the true, complete story of the Space Shuttle better than it's ever been told before." (Colonel Chris Hadfield, former Astronaut and Space Station Commander) "Brilliantly revealed, Into the Black is the finely tuned true story of the first flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Rowland White has magnificently laid bare the unknown dangers and unseen hazards of that first mission.... Once read, not forgotten." (Clive Cussler)

  7. It's not a visual meme, but a viral joke I spotted: Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behavior. So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender: -Is Crimea ours? -Yes, it is. -And the Donbas? -Also ours. -And Kyiv? -We got that too. Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks: -Thanks, how much do I owe you? -5 euros.
  8. Yes, I have seen the same images of destruction too, But there was a second Antonov-225 under construction before Putin's stupid special operational mistake. A clone 225 could be part of a Ukraine resurgence. There also the odd support groups like this Lego https://www.brickmania.com/an-225-mriya-strategic-airlift-cargo-aircraft/?mc_cid=6d65613b42&mc_eid=f747a183e1 as well as: https://www.brickmania.com/ghost-of-kyiv-mig-29-fulcrum-ukrainian-twin-engine-jet-fighter/ and https://www.brickmania.com/bayraktar-tb2-ukrainian-unmanned-aerial-combat-vehicle/ not to mention the minifig lego legions with: https://www.brickbanter.com/post/citizenbrick-sells-out-of-president-zelensky-minifigures
  9. The only problem in getting up early to make tea for your wife, is leaving your warm patch up for grabs.
  10. Ernie, glad to hear you are ok, sorry that I cannot help with any cold weather advice here from Sydney, although its not all hot and sunny for us this year. It's a "La Nina" wet year, one that's getting yearly more frequent ( almost Monsoon like ). Just like to add that seeing all LSM's site models in build stages is so inspiring. Regards Ernie, and all with LSM from Australia.
  11. Yes, I found Gladwell's narration ( and writing ) really informative and diverse, covering details in length like the Norden bombsight and various operations in Europe and Japan.
  12. Just saw your post of the 1:35 DKM TYpe VIII-C U-Boat! All we need now is a boxed model of a 1/32 scale Sunderland flying boat, for something like scenes created by modeller Lee Won-hui https://imodeler.com/2017/11/1350-u-boat-viic-the-beginning-of-the-end/ Regards Iain
  13. I've been listening more than reading these days. my most recent narrated book in My current distraction are the memoirs of Maj. Gen. Charles W. Sweeney. The last military officer to command an atomic mission. Oh and the previous AudioBook was Bomber Mafia, Written and narrated by: Malcolm Gladwell
