    Mike Brown fired as Lakers coach.............

    I think it'll still be a great challenge to get top results out of a newly assembled team of older players, many past their best and injury prone, albeit quality players. But the Lakers are not the only ones with quality players... The challenge is certainly to compete for and win the...

    Russian Style vs. English Style?

    To me the English Style is gloss (gossy Britains, Trophy, Little Legion, Fusilier/T. Atkins, Imperial). The Russian style: FL and Connoisseur figures. The Chinese/Hong Kong style: K&C, Frontline, John Jenkins, Figarti, Britains matte. Personally I prefer the 1st two, but own some and enjoy a lot...

    How you got into the hobby

    Plastic figures (Timpo, Britains Deetail, 1/32 Airfix and others) and also Solido and Dinky military aircraft and vehicles in my childhood. Digging them up some 8 to 10 years ago (not sure anymore...^&grin) while looking for some old toys for my son brought back some interest, then surfing the...

    The Marshall plan

    Well, when I spoke of the German national character I meant the post war period. I have an adoptive member of my family who is Austrian, he was adopted by my father's uncles during WWII, here in Portugal (people were receiving war refugees back then), and grew here, frankly he is a good example...

    The Marshall plan

    I think this speaks volumes about the German national character, I do admire the way they rebuilt after the war, and I do admire their work ethic. There are no perfect countries but I do admire what the Germans managed to build after WW2. Apparently they are now having a hard time dealing with...
