On the news front Hylands books are due to close next month so there goes the last big military bookshop in Australia. I’m a bit sad at this but like many they failed to adapt to the internet and just got caned in the market place. Still very disappointed.

On other fronts I’m doing some modelling. Nothing major but slow progress on the train stuff. I’ve done some weathering on the tracks and the hut courtesy of some new paints specifically for weathered wood. Pictures next time.

The last picture is the Miniart 1.35 scale Triebflugel due in a while. It’s going to be ridiculously tall and the scale is strange but I gots to have one. Amusing Hobby are doing one in 1.48 and that will necessitate 2 versions being day and night fighter. I may try and stretch the night version
