My copy arrived in New York today. It looks marvellous. Now I need to dig out my Copplestone Future Wars kit and give them a run out. Thanks, Ioan.

It's the Renedra one. Goes together very nicely. I actually skimmed it with spackle after taking this picture to fill in some minor issues and match my other Peninsular buildings. I need to dig out our photos from La Mancha taken years ago for reference.

You're obviously far too young to remember Windy Miller and Camberwick Green. Plenty of old farts, like me, who did, though. It's a nice kit, recommended.

Apologies if you have already said, but what software is this that you're playing GdA and CoC on? It looks great and might be a solution to living on a different continent to some wargaming friends and in a different state to others. Thanks very much.

One issue that I've had with Rubicon kits that I've not had with others is that they don't "grip" quite as well as the glue dissolves the surface. I find they need to be held rather longer and they need a bit more care so that the join doesn't "slip". They do ook good when they're done though.

Hello, Mike, might I fill an RN role? (Not First Lord of the Admiralty, though, I annoy enough people already.) Thank you.
