Is this any use?

This was my second visit to what must be the friendliest exhibition around, I shall certainly be going next year as well despite the four hour round trip.

Without wishing to sound sychophantic nor deferential it was a great pleasure and an honour to meet Gray Meek, we even discovered that our wives share a common interest, I slipped up though, I should have taken my copy of his book for inscribing.

I was looking forward very much to see progress on Brian Perkins' Mercedes W165 but unfortunately he has had a problem with his arm for far too long.

Congratulations and thanks to The Bristol club.

What about this Graham:

Youtube shows a huge selection of naval armaments. Try, for example, typing The Naval Gun Factory 1952 into the search field.

I can't help with the Stuck on Stucco article but Dave Rowe is/was an exponent of this technique using the Das modelling compound. Look out for his book Architectural Modelling in 4mm Scale ISBN 0 906867 12 6, Wild Swan Publications, my copy is of 1983 vintage.

See also his book Industrial and Mechanised Modelling ISBN 0 906867 84 3, Wild Swan Publications 1990.

I believe I'm correct in saying that he and his wife Shirley produced a superlative scale model of a corn mill that was about to be demolished in Devon (?) and was written up in the American Narrow Gauge and Short Line GAZETTE magazine. Finally I remember seeing a wharf scene with a moving bridge, trackage and goodness knows what else at a railway modelling exhibition.

Are they still modelling?

Not just for the '62 cohort, all alumni might be interested in:

Good news David, thank you. Do you think Mrs Barbara Pratt or Mr Ernest Hills could be persuaded to provide a few more photographs?

I know very little about boilers but may I draw this Australian/New Zealand specification to your attention

I live in the UK but have a subscription to the American Popular Mechanics where in the April issue the Makerbot Replicator is mentioned very briefly.

If you know you are going to win the lottery next weekend it would be an interesting machine to buy but they need to make their web site rather more user friendly!

Especially those horologists working in wood:
