The first of my 1:144 Albatros D-III flight is done, now that decals have arrived so I don't have to go mad painting the markings.The decals came from Miscellaneous Miniatures, and their service was very good. I got WW1 British, French and German decal sheets in various styles, and they worked just fine.
At the center of the screen is an acute triangle with a rounded bottom. Its shape resembles the pattern left by wipers on a dirty windshield, inverted. Before the device is activated it’s a gray blank and reminded me of the opening sentence of a novel I read more than forty years ago: “The sky above the port was the...
Sometimes subtlety is overrated, and the direct approach is needed.One must have tact. There is a time for patience and for choosing one’s words with care, for the sake of hidden meanings or to let another arrive at the truth in his own good time.But then there are also monsters.In Jackson, IL, the characters know...

In the great pantheon of Austin clubs, live music bars, dives, and dumps, Hole in the Wall on Guadalupe Street looms large. Probably top five.

Afterwards took bus to Castletown for a midday break before carrying on to Port Erin where we spent some time sitting on cliff top before taking last train...
Currently working out the kinks in a tampermonkey userscript to clean up the empty paragraphs AO3's WYSIWYG unintentionally encourages authors to put in between every actual text paragraph. If I get it working reliably would anyone be interested in it?
A few days ago I was sitting in a café in Sofia, thinking about things that were normal when I was a kid, or even when my parents were, and that now take real effort to get. It’s not that they’re out of reach. It’s that you have to go hunting for them. 1. Being offline The world has gone digital to the point where...
I like being able to slot parts of a kit together without glue. In this case, the glass-filled nylon solebars and axleboxes can be slid into the floor with a little bit of a wiggle. Handy, as there has been a change to slate wagon kit since it was introduced. Original kits were designed to take finescale wheelsets....
Iris longs to be a reporter, and she got a job at a well-regarded newspaper and has a nice apartment in Knightsbridge but is stuck sketching hats and writing meaningless columns – far from serious journalism. When her unpleasant boss (who only gave Iris a job because he has a crush on her sister, Caroline) finally...
