Very pleased to announce that the cover design for my first book has been finalised. Co-authored with Professor Adam Fairclough, Madam V: Virginia Vernon's War will be published by The History Press in August. The story of this fearless woman needs to be told!

Okay, Bluesky crashed when I tried to do this with a huge thread, so the following link is to a Google drive folder with all the photos I took at the NAACC open house. I'll post a couple here and there but the folder has ~300 pics.

Latest off the bench:
1/72 Kriegsfischkutter, a small patrol and minesweeper ship. A staggering 612 units of these saw operational use, from northern Norway down to the Peloponnese. The last one retired in the 70ies as a fishing boat in Poland.

My collection of finished 1/35 ww2 tanks (with a few "finer" 1/72's and a really tiny tiger). Need new display boxes like these badly, dont want the M5 or 7TP to get all dusty. 7TP holds extra sentimental value. Got it from my daughter (then at 6 yrs old) as an x-mas gift in 2024.

First for 26. Tamiya's 1/48 F-15J. 60th Anniversary of Chitose Airbase, as flown by 201 Squadron JASDF. Unsure if this variant is correct, but just look at those tails. Kept her clean. 2 tone grey may be too subtle.

After fighting the 1970s Airfix tank transporter I'm going to have a go at this, ESCI's German Opel Truck.
Another vintage kit 😬...

When I first got on the sky I found some great model builders, followed the Tony builds and was getting the itch again. Then @jaaaagirr.bsky.social 🤟 got the heavies going and I was in. Six months later, after 30 years, varing degrees of completion. Cheers to ALL for the inspiration! Happy New Year

My builds of 25. Been a good year, trying new things and not getting too booged down with the minute details. A fun modelling year.

So the Defense and Fall of Singapore turned out to be 880 pages (yes, that level of detail for a 2month campaign), funny how one tends to underestimate Kindle editions.
Next up, given there is some nice snow and ice outside, something seasonal for #histbookchat
