EXPO AB602 Air Brush
My good lady went into the Wargames Emporium during her lunch hour to treat me to an Air Brush and took John the owners advice and came away with the Expo AB 602 complete air brush deal , a grand sounding bit of kit which sounds like it should grace all garages and machine shops around the globe. It is actually my first airbrush and looking at the box and instruction sheets looked very daunting ,but much to my surprise and joy its very simple to use . The deal includes a compressor ,airbrush ,water trap and air hose .The compressor is mains run and very quiet is very easy to use just turn it on set the pressure ,I set this at about 25 psi at this pressure the compressor keeps pumping at higher pressures (40psi) it automatically fills the air cylinder then cuts off till you use the contained air. the Air hose is braided and very tough feeling a glass water trap fits between the hose and the air brush .The Air Brush itself is a gravity fed type and even I managed to strip it down and clean it with no problems .John at the W.E informed Elaine when she purchased it that all the parts can be obtained as spares through him if needed . I played about for 30 minutes or so practising and cleaning it before actually using it to paint 3 Plastic Soldier Company stags that I am painting for a competition and I am well chuffed for my first attempt. Also purchased some Vallejo Model Air paints to go with it and as always with Vallejo they are excellent . A bit hard to score as its my first AirBrush but for a beginner I will give it 9 /10 (the instructions are a bit confusing ) Retail £125. £110.at the Emporium

Devils with Wings:Silk Drop
Just finished part 2 of the Devils with Wings Trilogy by Harvey Black ,This see's Paul,Max and the other Fallschirmjager taking part in the invasion of Greece and Crete ,a really cracking read it is as well . The book covers a lot of ground from the training and preparation as well as the actual invasion ,the Airbourne invasion of Crete is gripping to say the least and the following battles and skirmishes have you wanting the Fallschirmjager to get through unscathed even though in this second book they are fighting British and Commonwealth troops , in a well known and bloody conflict. I am really hooked on Harvey Blacks work now and will read the third part of the the Devils trilogy whilst waiting part 3 of his Cold war books . 10/10
