Early Christmas present to myself
A 1940 dated British manual for driving in the desert. What makes it more interesting is that it seems to have been owned by a soldier of the 8th Australian battalion, which took part in Operation Compass in 1941, capturing Bardia and Tobruk, and later fought…

Varnishing is the most nerve wracking part of all this for me. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen my hard work ruined by a bad spray coating.

Saw someone post this over on the Facebooks: a 3D printed phone holder shaped like a WWI trench section!

One batch of minis clean and drying, and another soaking in simple green. With OoP minis, sometimes the best (& cheapest) I can find are already painted, which means stripping them. This a much bigger chore than I imagined, sometimes with multiple soakings and a lot of scrubbing.

Does anyone know what ‘Rkt Pistols’ are? I encountered them looking at German TO&Es based on US intelligence during WWII.
My first guess would be the Kampf- or Sturmpistole.
