  • Great show!

    Hello from Somerset UK. Great show, easy listening, lots of tips and great guests / subjects etc. My modest stash of 50 or so 1/72 scale armour is getting some attention again after quite a few years of being buried in the attic. I listen along to the show whilst working and modelling. Great show!
