So what next? I have some ideas for my next project. One is a Russian journalist photographing a knocked out Tiger tank. The other involves US soldiers at rest in Vietnam. I'm also considering doing something related to the Korean war, as my dad was there. Can't make my mind up. #histscalemodels

I think I'm done with him, mainly because I don't know what else he needs. Apart from setting him down on a nice plinth. #histscalemodels

I'm up a stepladder splashing paint around the room and I'm reminded of the wise words of a former colleague, who confidently declared "the man who invented fucking ought to be decorated. The man who invented decorating, however, should be thoroughly fucked". Alan, wherever you are, you were right.

Think I'm done. A despatch rider taking a few minutes of peace by a stream, while a French pussy cat looks on, hopeful of getting something to eat. #histscalemodels

Think I have the beginnings of a diorama idea for my despatch rider and his motorcycle. He'll be taking a rest and a tea break on the bank of a stream. There may be a friendly dog or cat involved too. #histscalemodels

The Girl has just discovered a recipe for a - wait for it - full English breakfast tarte tatin. So tempted to try out this magnificent creation one morning this week.

Never built anything by Copper State Models before, beautifully sculpted, and needed absolutely no cleaning up or sanding, assembly very easy and accurate. Not cheap kits, but I'm very impressed. #histscalemodels

Forty-odd years of the politics of greed, self-interest and the cult of the individual. Anyone who openly admires, or quotes Hayek is unfit to be let anywhere near a public post.
She asset-stripped an entire country and squandered the money to buy votes. Most of the problems with Britain today can be traced back to her disastrous social and economic experiment.
Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge? | Martin Kettle

Wake up Britain.
In the US, the Ellisons have put “anti-woke” Bari Weiss in charge of CBS News. The goal is to turn it into a mouthpiece for Trump. No wonder Trump is backing Larry’s AI plans.
In the UK, the Ellisons own Channel 5. And ITN’s contract for 5 News ends in 2028. The shit is coming.

Been reading @russincheshire.bsky.social Tories - End of An Error. Brilliantly funny, but I had to stop, it made me so angry at times. The damage done to our country by a bunch of Hayek-addicted idealogues, aided and abetted by some absolute fucking idiots. Sorry Russ, I'll get through it eventually

Driving down the M5 this afternoon I saw a sign saying "Check your distance". Thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that I can be a bit aloof sometimes.
