Hi could recommend Forgotten Weapons channel on Full30.

Reviews and history of a wide range of weapons etc. For example Panzerscreck

What channel no is that on Sky? Anyone know?

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.

Typing error?

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

martin goddard · October 13, 2018, 09:12:06 AM

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.

James Bond used them to good effect in Moonraker

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.
