A labour of love
Here is edition 10.
As usual, do let me know of any errors etc. I can change them
I think it is a lovely edition of this mainstream magazine
martin :)
Great range of stuff included as expected. Love the mention of my fav modelling gunk..... bluetack.
Derek
Good news.
How about a full report on your AK army Derek??
martin :)
A really nice mix of articles and some great pictures, as usual.
Well done Martin (and the rest of us too :) )
Simon
Excellent stuff, chaps!
Enjoying - thanks to all contributors
It is a cracking edition.
I will get back to the Sniper gamette soon.
A lot of work is also waiting to get done also.
martin :)
A bumper edition, as we used to say! Plenty to enjoy.
Thanks to all concerned.
Mike
I made a few bodges on MILL 10. Got Andy's pictures wrong and called Xavier Alex.
Not bad by my standards.
Sorry to Andy and Xavier
Do let me know about any errors as I can correct them using computer technology.

Crikey 90 pages?! This is good weighty content. Other places would charge actual, jingling coin for this, too. Lovely work Martin & contributors. That's my Saturday morning garden cuppa reading material sorted.
Never mind, I really need to do a proper article soon - either WotR or SB as I am in the process of rebasing my 1914 figures for SB.
The article you did Andy is just the sort of thing that the MILL needs. Little bite sized nibbles for people with smaller appetites.
However, if you are doing a "Jumbo" then gods speed.
martin :)
Nibbles, amuse bouche, aperitifs, starters, main course, pudding, all welcome!
No Stilton and Calva!! Shame!
Doesn't Calva go with all of Sean's courses, Les? ;)
Simon
I was surprised and flattered to see pics of my vehicles in the latest edition :)
Howard
Took me a while to recognise my own figures. :-[
Will get them finished soon.
What is Calva?
Calvados. An apple liquor I think it is.
What ever, Les has a neighbour who supplies him with some which he then brings over to the a Weymouth Weekender. It's a bit of a tradition to have a small amount on the Friday and Saturday night after a long day's gaming.
Yes, its a brandy-like drink made from apples in the North of France. And in Somerset, but they have to call it cider brandy there.
Simon
Can it be used as a wash on figures
martin :)
I think it might strip the paint, Martin? ;D
Simon
I think the Calva that you and Mike have is around 30 to 40 years old. It was made by a cousin of our elderly neighbour.
We were given a small bottle that was 60 years old. (Did not last long)
Calvados often nicknamed Calva, is a brandy from Normandy in France, typically made from apples.
The fruit is harvested and pressed into a juice that is fermented into a dry cider. It is then distilled into eau de vie. After two years of aging in oak casks, it can be sold as calvados. The longer it is aged, the smoother the drink becomes. Usually, the maturation goes on for several years.
If you are going to use it as 'paint stripper' Simon you have very rich tastes.
The price for a bottle would be from 30 euros up to 150 euros if you can find any in the shop.
I can attest to the restorative qualities of Calva ever since we visited Les at his home in Normandy. I have now only a small but valuable quantity left and that is being kept to share at the Weymouth Wargame Weekend in November. It may not guarantee a constant roll of 6 scores but after a few drinks of Calva you won't care.
Les has a great story to relate about how a bottle of Calva helped save lives in a fire-fight in 1944 around his home.
Salut!
Mike
Aah, Calvados! thought you might have been confusing it with cava - certainly confused me (although not difficult these days since having Covid).
