G-ARVM, Hemp, and Falklands schemes on the way.. http://www.tricatus.co.uk/2007PrePro_UK_group.htm Loads of new castings announced, including Vampire, Wessex, 1/72 Hailfax..

Another leftie 'ere, everything done with the left apart from the computer mouse and joystick. Oh...one thing though. Our left hand is almost always smeared in ink or carbon due to the fact that we write with our left hand, and therefore smear our hand over the just-written letters....that was lucki...

These methods don't usually let me down when i'm out without a tripod!
