'There will be a slight delay'.............


There will be a slight delay in fighting the promised ECW battle . On returning home from my holidays I found that the bulb in my wargaming room had failed - now I don't want to come across as a 'grumpy old man' (I am !) BUT I only replaced it last year - it's one of these modern  Euro one , the original I'm sure lasted about 20 years  and I've had to replace it twice in the last two years - b****y progress! . Now the problem was that being short and the bulb being suspended directly over the table I have to place at least one foot onto the tabletop to replace the bulb - this time there was a significant -'CRACK' noise and on investigation I found one of the support struts had cracked (I thought I'd lost weight !?) - so I have had to clear the table and start running repairs involving large nails and bits of wood . Normal service will return shortly ...

    Are you going to watch Callan in the interim. Superb, ageless viewing. I think I am due to run through them again. It has been at least a year...!

    1. Like Callan but was seeking a light bulb type picture , so it seemed apt .

  2. Most vexing, but somehow familiar sounding (the simple fix that winds up anything but).

    1. Of course I had no suitable nails so had to go to the DIY shop to buy some overpriced nails !

  4. Crikey you’re cracking on with these. 50 ships made. An impressive run. Scratch building like this must give you double the satisfaction.
