underneath the lamplight for the airship pirates RPG  an interesting read so far but very hard work, black type on grey pages.
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Just finished reading "The Most Dangerous Gamble" by John Sherlock and David Westheimer, cracking read, very boys own but with a bit of rude bits added.

I think I've still got the originals somewhere :)

Received my copy of Damien Burke's epic Tome last weekend, and consequently my modelling has had to take a back seat, oh and re doing the back garden took out some of my time too.

I think I now have pretty much all the useable reference material for TSR2's currently available, not that it'll help me be a better modeller, just less ham fisted when putting them together.
too old for a paper round, too young for me pensions, dammit, back to work then!

Cool. The neat thing about Hot Rod Deluxe bimonthly and their special editions
is that they publish photos from the archives that weren't published 'back in the day'.
The specials are published in a larger, square format and on better paper than the
regular mag. Fun stuff.

It wouldn't be hard to get better paper than the old HRMs!

Many of mine have lost their covers because the staples pulled right through, so they're now held on with paper clips to the next pages. I hope they send some of those Special Editions over to the UK.

"Catastrophe - Europe goes to War 1914" by Max Hastings. Published today and obtained in Waterstones for £15 (half price) thus being cheaper then Amazon by the time you inc. postage  :thumbsup:

Noted yesterday that WH Smiths are knocking this out for £12 if anyone is interested

Picked up off Amazon "Dragon's Wings" by Andreas Rupprecht (yes our very own Deino  :thumbsup:)

Just had a quck scan but it looks good and i think those with an interest in Chinese Aircraft and projects will love it, looking forward to reading  ;D.

Another four cookbooks.  One for fish, a vegetablist one (gift from Willie's wife), one for sauces and finally, yet another Indian one, although this looks to be better than most of the ones I already have.

Just finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusac. Only the second book ever to make me cry at the end (the other was "The Forgotten Soldier"). Superb.
