Blather, Waffle and Poppycock!

Those Russian guns could probably do a lot of damage to the light tanks 

So might a Russian female Shot putter disguised as a Nun! 

Now... had thought to Google up a pic... disrespectful and in bad taste... but 'humerous', maybe?  Failed to apply, again!
BUT... 'Oh, My sainted Aunt'... 'Some' Female 'Track and Field' Athletes... (Nationalities uncertain)... were NOT what I was expecting! Absolute 'Stunners'!

Was that the famous female Russian Shot-putter, Anna Bolyck-Steroid ? (Private Eye.....From MANY years ago.)

Cheers - Phil.

As it's been all over the news recently......

If you were given a ticket, for free, would any of you go up in one of these new, commercial, 'trips into space' ?
Seeing as I'm phobic about even getting on a plane......I just couldn't make myself do it.......(SHUDDER !)

Cheers - Phil.

[Steve J]

Probably not as it's still very new technology. If it were more like getting on a passenger plane, then no problem at all, given that the view would hopefully be incredible.

No. Just don't see the point. Might as well get an 'all Routes' Bus Pass or Railcard.

Yes would certainly want to do that

[paulr]

I would, but I need a second ticket to give to my son or he would never speak to me again, he is the Space mad one of the family

Finished off my Wurttemberg Napoleonics today.  

10 line bttns, 4 light, 4 lt cav regiments and 3 batteries: 792 infantry, 160 cavalry, 6 guns and 23 staff/ADCs.

Brunswickers done (512 inf, 92 cav, 4 guns and 11 staff/adc)
British done (1140, 420, 14, about 40 staff)


Started on the Prussians. Just the Guard so 420 infantry, 80 cavalry, 4 guns and a dozen or so staff/adc.

Then the Polish (720, 140, 6 guns) and Bavarians (735, 160, 6 guns) bought and ready to paint.

Currently in the way of buying the Austrians (648, 160, 8 guns) then  just the Russians (648, 160, 12 guns).  


2021 is the year of Nobby's Napoleonics!

Nobby has been busy has Nobby

Yeah, I really don't like flying, but that's more to do with truly horrible experience you recieve at airports nowadays, and the generally appalling behaviour of both budget airlines and other passengers. Hint - if you can't actually lift your bag I really don't think it qualifies as hand luggage . . . If I ever do win the lottery I'd like to think that I wouldn't go mad with houses and cars and boats, etc. But I would enjoy not having to travel in cattle class.

Back to the original question - yes, I'd jump at that like a shot if offerred. Either the Branson one or the Bezos version.

I'd sooner go to New York than the edge of space and the doctors aren't exactly ecstatic about my plans to do even that.

[FierceKitty]

New York is a lot of fun.

[Heedless Horseman]

I would MUCH prefer to go up in one of those 'Spitfire' flights over the South Coast!   Sadly, circumstances will not permit. for present.

A WW2 Bomber or WW1 replica 2 seater flight would also be great. Or a para drop from a Dakota!   Oh, Well...

Nobby has been busy has Nobby

Nobby has. I'm a quantity over quality sort of chap.

Brunswickers - The Duke in the front, flanked by the Horse and Fort Artillery batteries. Cavalry (Uhlans and Hussars) on the left, infantry behind the Duke. 



I went for a Panzer grey for the black uniforms, with a black wash, the shakos, cross belts etc picked out in proper black (which I never use otherwise).

[Steve J]

Very impressive work!

[fsn]

Thank you.

I'm happy with my progress.

I know the figures wouldn't win any competitions, but they're fine at wargames range. 

[fred.]

Great looking army fsn - with 10mm its about armies not individual figures

[howayman]

i will not ask what the blue plastic sheet is for.
its a bit like the stuff gangsters put down before killing people.
is there something you're not telling us ?


Good looking army.

[Orcs]

They look great Nobby.

[d_Guy]

I have always been partial to the Brunswickers. Nicely done, sir, your plan seems to be coming together.
