Bah, Airfix's Little Soldiers was out of print again. Money paid back (bought season 3 of Gilmore Gals to da missus for 'em :oops:

). If the university where I work gave courses in toysoldier-knowledge I could probably get it somehow, but unfortunately there isn't such a course here.

Not purchased yet, but I need to purchase a new study lamp, as my existing one exploded in a shower of sparks and smoke on Sunday night. That'll teach me from using 100W bulbs in a lamp rated for 60W. :angry3:

Real horror!!! :drool:

... :Offtopic: Some months ago I had a very strange thing - 3 bulbs in kitchen, WC and bathroom were burned out by very intensive way - the first was burned out with clap and the glass part was fallen off, the second was broken with clap into little fragments(!) and the third exploded and smashed the glass lampshade to smithereens! Very strange! :shock:

Lots of wooden building bricks, cube and cylinder shapes, on a flea market. Wonderful to make small bases from after sanding, staining and varnishing. Very cheap and highly recommended. :-D

Four sets today:
Airfix Robin Hood (always a good source for Medieval civilians)
Nexus/Atlantic Davy Crockett (got the set somewhere already, but where?)
Italeri/ESCI French Cuirassiers Napoleonic Wars (already got some of them somewhere, but I like them)
Italeri French Light Cavalry Napoleonic Wars (couldn't resist)

Met a guy at the hobby-shop that were looking for a model of a PAK-38. Scale didn't matter, he was going to use it as a guide to build in scale 1-1(!).

With the post yesterday: a complete set of Italeri stone walls, with gates!

Greetings Peter

Someone who want to built a PAK 38 in 1:1 ?????
Wanted to see the look in the face of his neighbour when he pulled the cannon out of his garage and present it proudly to him....
