Hi could recommend Forgotten Weapons channel on Full30.

Reviews and history of a wide range of weapons etc. For example Panzerscreck (https://www.full30.com/video/3ecf8ba579555da3cc92dd6aab427430)

It is on the internet. Just search "Forgotten weapons" They are an auction site, but give great videos explain their guns etc. I found it very useful.

Sorry, thebolas, unless I've misspelt that. Wasn't it used by South American Indians originally?

That's better, thanks. I don't know much about the bolas. Was it a hunting weapon to bring down animals?

I have a feeling it might have brought down either a few Spaniards, or at least their horses.

Talking of TV shows. Has anybody seen the Channel 5 series "The Great Model Railway Challenge" a very good concept and shows the problems we have all experienced one way or another doing shows and tables for events etc....
Giving teams 3 days to make a layout to use and show. Showing some modelling technical abilities and problems. Worth taking a look.

Good spot there. Saw that Miles. Great fun. We can learn from those railway modellers.
