To my surprise, I realised I have been blogging and modelling since October 2014.

Many thanks to everyone who has encouraged and helped me: readers who’ve subscribed to or commented on this blog, the Beds & Bucks NG Modellers, the many interesting people I’ve met at exhibitions, the 009 Society members, and everyone who helped me via the NGRM Forum.

Merry Christmas to you all.
