Waterman For many many years the consevative member for Dover (South) attended every Scottish meeting in the House and pontificated on Scottish subjects on which he had neither intrest or reason to attend. Sadly passed now but he was always good for a laugh, although doing his democratic duty as...

That was in 1939 when BP made some land discoveries, but in 1851 Parafin Young began extracting shale oil in Scotland so I think you could say he was first. Lot of gas exploration in Southern Nort Sea with lots of gas being found, very little commercial oil. Scottish fields dicovered and...

Great work again Ron. Is that the figure and base we saw at Davies? Super work indeed. Don

Chippy Trump has thrown his rattle out of the pram and has gone home stating that his Granny was actually Irish. He will sadly for Ireland, go and bother them. This was because the SNP and the Scottish Government voted they were not to worried about his second golf course and hotel but were very...

No matter how you manage the boots Mike its still a great figure! Don

Richie, its not a soldering wire but a soft engineering wire, no solder in it. Its mainly used for for finding the thickness of a bearing or finding a gap in parts. Simply put some into a bearing, tighten said bearing to working condition, strip it our and measure the wire. Very accurate...

Mike, amazing piece of work, I envy you your skill. For the boot laces can I suggest Engineers Lead Wire. Like fuse wire its available in various thicknesses meant for sizeing gaps. Mainly lead based, its quite soft so bends easily and would drape across the boots nicely. Don

Gerry I used the flooding as an example. During the last big floods the North got a hammering nothing much was done, this flooding Somerset got a terrible flooding on the levels. I think they had 600 Marines doing a super job but only for a day or two. Water came near London and the money and a...

Seems the North of England ( Newcastle, Sunderland, Manchester, Liverpool etc,) have been asking if they can come with us. Please remember Cameron only lifted a finger when Prince Charles told him to get his finger out and send troops to held the people who were flooded. Somerset levels were...

Wonderful piece of work, so many great parts! I do like the shield, superb work with that, but the rest is not to shabby either! Simply great work on this large model, "Come join the Planet Grahams Dad", Graham what do you mean Dad helps you out? When I met him at Euro he was running the...

Lovely piece of sculpting Carl. Graham must be very pleased to add this stunner to his store. Very nice indeed Don

Amazing bust Steve, great to see a figure of such a famous regiment and at the Somme as well! A long overlooked subject, the Indian Army in Europe. Well done Steve. Don

Mark In Franks memory you can indulge yourself on here as much as you like. These guys are now very very rare and should be remembered forever. Cheers Frank. Don

Wayne If you are struggling send Del a PM. He is very helpful and will explain everything to you. Just dont tell him I sent you!! His idea works very well. Don

Wonderful work Del. Its an outstanding piece made into a superb bit of work. The dog wasnt there when I saw it but there are so many stories I didnt miss the dog although I knew it would be added. Amazing scenes inside behind the windoes, each one telling a story on its own. Looks very likely to...

Superb job by Ron (again) saw it in the flesh on sunday and its a cracker. So not like the old Verlinden's we all knew and loved, much much better. Super work Ron Don

Super idea Keith, the best of both worlds, battered but bright. I love it. Looking forward to seeing this brightly battered bugle when you are finished. Don

Looks really good Andy, lot of movement! What does the alternative head look like? Don

Polish Keith Polish. I just cant see a trumpeter on campaign or elsewhere looking after his horse and saddlery, self, uniform and weapons yet having an old junk like Bugle! I always thought these guys awee bit special, riding a different coloured horse etc, why use an old bugle? Don
