Will type into word so i can make my own book

If you use the “non-live” translation, which works far better because it’s not jittery and likely to change the translation at the drop of a hat (I had to try several times to get a usable one to post above), you can copy the translated text and paste it into another program, such as a word processor on your tablet, a notes app, an e-mail, or whatever. That makes it far easier to assemble the text than having to type everything in yourself.

Maybe I should post something in the Tutorials and how to’s section of the forum about this.

i managed to get this for a reasonable price. When I get around to it, who knows? But it's in the stash ready!

That brings back memories!

Some more new stuff for the next one; saw a good offer for the Panzer IV, but overpaid by £1.50...was asked if I wanted a refund or a surprise. Expecting a bag of sweets or something, I was very surprised when the Tamiya crew was send along as well! Very generous, and will actually be perfect for the next diorama.

Heard good things about Border Models, and the mesh skirts look good fun. Plenty of nice little additions in the box, PE, Link & Length and workable track options.

This arrived in the post today:



one of my (many) projects-I-plan-to-get-around-to-one-day is a series of two/three figure vignettes depicting different aspects of the Dunkirk evacuation And these are ideal for a little rearguard vignette. Unfortunately it is not in production and has taken ages to track one down - finally did from a shop in Russia.

it's safely in my stash ready for the mythical day when I have time ...

Peter,
That is a great looking kit. I wonder why they stopped making it?

It’s not German?

Who knows why manufacturers stop some kits. Probably the BEF is not popular enough. The post of the officer is a little stiff, but the others look fine.

This self contained vignette arrived from Vietnam this morning; Paracel Miniatures 1/35 'Elza'. Casting looks nice a nd sharp just a couple of seam lines will need cleaning. Painting on hold at the mo.

Went to the bank to actually pay money in :flushed: on the way passed a charity shop. Pressed my nose against the window and spotted this.


Bargain £5.00 so gave them a tenner, all complete!

Last plane was a complete disaster, but you never know lol
