    JANUARY 2026 WARBIRDS

    I have seen it 'in the flesh', so to say and it is incredible, the camera and the gun pod can be moved, also have seen the M60 and they are stunning. Like the RN Wasp, would like it, but there are to many other figures/vehicles higher on the wish list.

    Picked up the latest Gerald Seymour Thriller, with Jonus Merrick as the 'hero', much more of an anti hero, this is the 6th book in the series. Could not imagine a main character further away from Reacher or 'The Grey Man' lead characters. He makes Jackson Lamb look like a double O agent...

    Come and Get It

    Great scene, K & C and JJD have started to bring out some great sets that could be seen as non-military. With this range, Egyptian, the settlers, Gold Rush, Christmas, Chinese range and probably others i have missed. Would not include the 'naughty females' in this, no matter the...

    FLWOT03 World of Tanks German Panzer VIII "Maus Wüstenschiff"

    Prefer the Ones that Sfarrelly put on TFrog and had at the London Show, the FL ones look too over the top and the netting does not look natural.

    Things that annoy me

    Know what you mean, always think the same just before Christmas and watching people with trollies stacked high, shops are only closed 1 or 2 days, but they spend as if they were closing for weeks.

    French hospital evacuated--man with 8" cannon shell in rectum

    I heard they called the 'bum squad', as it was classed as a weapon of 'butt destruction'. This was in France, but did also happen a few years ago in England, where a military collector said he was moving his collection around and slipped and fell on to the shell............

    Feb 2026 Any hopes for releases, mine are as follows

    Agree, Chinese New Year does seem to be a 'rest period' for collectors. Althou with many of us it is more like a chance to catch up with stuff we have missed. I placed an order on Jan 29th 26 and looking at the tracking it has gone through UK customs and is being delivered tomorrow, Tuesday...

    Lawrence of Arabia - watched on a wet Sunday morning.

    Neever seen it from start to end, so decided to watch it and realised [had been told before by a film buff friend] that despite having a runtime of over 3 hours and 30 minutes (227 minutes in its restored version), the film is notable for having zero female speaking roles. Lets hope the woke...
