Airfix Blog
I've added yesterday's rubber key-ring knight to the Sheriff of Nottinham page on the Airfix figures Blog (http://airfixfigs.blogspot.com/2010/06/1964-sheriff-of-nottingham-s21-hooo.html), probably not something you need to rush off and look at again, but it's done!
Sad News
Don Pielin, giant in the hollow-cast branch of our hobby has gone off to play with his toys for all eternity; an obituary page has been set-up here.
Another fellow-collector; Steven C Rowe, has passed-away, and Covid-19 has been fingered as the culprit. More here onWYDaily where they may also make you watch a video on why you should be wearing your mask!
Forthcoming Auction
Norman Joplin's Old Toy Soldier Newsletter are holding their 'OTSA 58' auction as an online event on Sunday 8th November (just over a week) more details here;

Toy Shows
With the above in mind, I will not be publicising toy soldier shows or toy fairs until we have got a grip on novel corona viruses full stop. It's quite easy once you understand the science; either you are

A selfish, self-centered wanker.
You should be wearing a mask whenever and wherever you can! Not just when you absolutely have to, but at every opportunity; it's a virulent killer and it's airborne! It's only modern medicine which is preventing higher death-tolls, and a quick mutation over the winter could still see death-tolls rise sharply, in the meantime people continue to die, every day.
There have been two toy soldiers shows recently and two toy fairs, they were all in the US and all poorly attended and rightly-so.
Recent coverage of a toy soldier show has one chap with his mask off his nose, I hope he gets a worse dose than his President (if you believe his President ever had it!), another is shown with his mask pulled under his chin . . . fuckwit, if he dies I won't be posting his obit'!
People promoting, dealing or buying at shows - right now - lack basic common sense, or have consciously surrendered common-sense in preference for serving their greed.
