What have I bought today? I'm not completely sure myself but I'm rather hoping it will turn out to be a 1/56 Dingo. Even if it isn't it will appear in Kumbayah in May.

Brushes at the Hereward show from ABC Brushes. 10 for a quid. A fiver has probably got me all the terrain/basing brushes I need for the next decade

My classic Napoleonics will have something to fight over now.

"You're all wrong - and the road running past the front gate should be pave, not mud."

That sort of thing? :eb:
