This is the 2nd issue of the year for 2025 (our 39th year of publication). As usual I have to thank those people who have kindly allowed us to reproduce their articles and photos this issue, in particular the following - Andrew Wetzlich, Ryan Hamilton, Gary Shepherdson, Gary Wickham, David Harvey, John Hopton, Geoff Kubank, Mick Mirkovic & the AHMWA. Don't forget that all photos and information credited to these individuals are subject to copyright and cannot be reproduced without their written permission. I also am grateful to Ley Reynolds for the review material.

This issue has more of Gary Wickham's excellent modelling and review articles from his 'Scalespot' website. Highly recommended to go to his site at www.Scalespot.com to see the latest. For Gary's articles use the 'back' button to get back to the index page.

Due to having been laid up in Hospital fo six weeks and not being able to do much since, I have decided to upload what I had already done at the time. Unfortunately after six hours today working on the reviews something 'glitched' and the whole sub-folder disappeared. I was able to recover only the Pen and Sword material.

All and any contributions to this publication are always welcomed, so send any material to the editorial address (P.O Box and email listed at the end of this page), or hand it to me at club meetings. This especially applies with several of our long running series having concluded in recent issues. So additional articles would be very welcome.
