Scotland is currently experiencing it's annual 4 days of summer so I've been sitting in the garden.
After cleaning and filling the bird feeders I decided to haul some old Military Modelling mags out of the cellar......a really enjoyable experience looking at these with a slightly cynical eye.
Basically there were the same grumps and moans as we get today but obviously in the absence of the internet the volume was restricted by magazine space constraints, editorial professionalism.
What was really interesting was looking at the adverts from companies long gone and from places you wouldn't expect like Vulcan Miniature from Dunure in Ayrshire, there must be hundreds of moulds somewhere out there. I'd love someone to do a 'nostalgia' release every now and then.
It was also great to look at some of the cracking articles by guys like Gary Joclyn and Lee Chandler.
A very pleasant afternoon and still enough sunshine for me to go back out......It's now after 3.30 so I can move on to doubles.....
