On National Library Workers Day, a reminder that librarians & library workers serve in lots of institutions in addition to public libraries: schools, colleges, museums, historical societies, law firms, churches, prisons, hospitals, the military, and private companies, to name the most common.

Lovely work, Rich.
Lovely work
I was looking at one of these yesterday. It will be interesting to see your progress!
Front right aerial view of the Boeing XPBB-1 Sea Ranger, painted overall in dark grey or blue except for the lower hull. It’s flying at low altitude over what appears to be an airfield under construction, Summer 1943. It’s a large twin-radial engined flying boat with a deep hull and two stabilising floats fixed below the outer wings. There are nose, dorsal and tail gun turrets as well as waist blisters.
The Boeing XPBB-1 Sea Ranger (1942) was a long range patrol bomber, the largest twin-engined aircraft in the world at the time of its first flight. It was developed to meet the threat posed by German and Japanese submarines or surface raiders in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

The Matildas are magnificent
Love it
Careful placing. It is a superb pic.

Too funny
Have to keep the faith. 💪👍🤞
Deliberately watching Finding Nemo instead of the football. Trying to brake my live game curse for five mins led to their second goal. Gutted.
This looks fascinating
The three on the bustle may be required.
Thanks, Stef. Much appreciated. I can see me using the kit decals by the look of things.
Ben, if you see this, I promised you a book, but haven't got a suitable address. DM me.
Lovely work
Understood. I'd definitely do one in Russian spec but this one has to be British.
Cheers mate
Have base colour on the Valentine. The kit is let down by the sparse "unknown unit" decals which seem like a half hearted go at a 4 RTR scheme with bits missing. The box art has RTR badged crew. Any desert war tank unit gurus have thoughts on this? #histscalemodels
I remember when he had to run the line at Highbury after the linesman was injured. He wore a sky blue tracksuit.
Not sure he'd have envisaged how far things would go.
Shame
An aerial view of Dungeness in Kent.
As seen from the air flying back from Barcelona.

Not straightforward by any means, but that's "rock n roll". I never saw them live.
A sort of Blue Monday clone. I have the 12" record. It resides with a mate who cares for all my vinyl

The Tamiya 1/35 scale Valentine is ready for paint. It's a vice free kit, but I can always find self inflicted ways to raise my swearing levels. #histscalemodels
