    What book are you reading at the moment ?

    Last night we went to a book launch for books 3 and 4 of the Winter Mage series, written by Nerine Dorman and Frank McLachlan. Really fascinating heading about their writing process; Frank creates the concepts, framework, and world, and Nerine does the writing. Lots of editing, of course...

    Jaguar rebrand

    Their sales have been dismal for decades. The selling point back in the 60s and 70s was luxury and performance much cheaper than the competitors. They have not been able to do that for a long time. So maybe a big shakeup is a last effort to do something.

    If you wonder how I display models...I recently bought a couple of display cases and added lights etc. and I have shelves above my workspace.

    Another one I've seen: a guy blowing a whistle every breath he took. So annoying.

    Or smells. Is that burning oil? Or coolant? My car, or another person's?

    Barbara Jean: This is S-1, the SBD-5 Dauntless flown by Maj. Christian C. Lee, commander of VMS-3, based at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, in Spring 1944. VMS-3 was the "Atlantic" squadron, painted in dark gull grey and white, used for anti-submarine patrol and convoy escort, though they didn't see...

    Dauntlesses It was a daunting task building these, but I was undaunted. I built four tiny Trumpeter 1/350 scale Douglas SBD Dauntless models. It's actually quite simple: the build is easy, and then it's masking and airbrushing, followed by details in enamel, and I did oil washes for weathering...

    [USA] Ex-Cornell student sues fraternity members and college over alleged gang rape and claims several were punished with essay-writing

    One of my two rules of thumb: people named Scott are generally bad people, especially if they are politicians, entertainers or comic writers, or wife murderers.

    Revell 1/99 V bombers: The Vulcan and the Victor were two of the trio of Britain's "V Bombers". The Revell kits are actually reboxed old Lindberg kits, with very incorrect box art and painting instructions. The markings supplied are actually for the second prototype of each aircraft, Vulcan...

    The Airfix 1/48 BAC TSR-2. The TSR-2 was a beautiful supersonic strike/reconnaissance aircraft that was tested and then cancelled for political reasons in the 1960s, first flying in 1964. The Airfix kit of it is huge but fortunately not wide, and it looks good in white. I built it as XR222...
