Another putty history post

Yes folks it is indeed another history post that isn’t about a specific thing. We mentioned last week that history lurks all around us, so we thought we’d mention a few things that we are hoping to cover…

In Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire…POWs, Civil War (the most inappropriate description of war ever “civil”), bunkers, shot towers, aeroplanes…

Further afield locally…battlefields

From our own histories…a lot of sinking ships (it is probably wise never to get on a boat with any of us just in case luck is hereditary)

(PS-apologies folks for the delay in the post, web fairy had exams)

Friday Update…..or not

It’s that dreaded time of the year. Just about got over the numerous bank holidays, the feasting and drinking are a distant memory, (although everytime I try to do up my belt I’m reminded as to how many minced pies I ate), and it’s back to work with the end of the month and next pay day looking a very long way a way….

Nevermind though! There’s plenty of models kits and soldiers to make and paint and if the weather’s a bit miserable it’s all the more reason to stay indoors with a nice cup of tea and get painting! If moneys a bit tight, now’s the time to dig out those models you’ve been meaning to make and get busy. As for New Years resolutions, well dont worry about what you need to give up – how about planning your next army or kit to make. If you are looking for inspiration, fear not, whilst the new releases are thin on the ground this week I can promise you that there is a whole host of new goodies on the way. 

Watch out for some great new kits from HobbyBoss, Italeri and Tamiya as well as releases from Warlord (do they ever sleep?) and yet more goodies from Northstar. And we will keep adding to our ranges to give you ever more choice.

If you haven’t already seen them, check out the new range of abrasives & glue dispensers that we now have from Albion. I particularly recommend the sanding sticks if you are building plastic models.

So get busy with the paint & glue and get modelling while you can. It will be Summer before you know it and you’ll be getting dragged off to mow the lawn and cremate meat on the barbeque…….

In case you’re wondering, Lotte is away on holiday, sitting her exams….which means she will have a degree soon and it will be official that she is the brightest spark in the office.
