Looks like you are open for business! Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories are favorites of mine, too.

My oldest gave me that same book for Christmas two years ago... I do need to finish reading it sometime soon...

Now that I am home I had the opportunity to magnify your images. I have H.P. Lovecraft's works as well. I do not break those out as often as the Holmes stories. I also note the pipe which reminds me of my father who passed away; once or twice a year I will take one of his "short" pipes and fire it up in his honor. I also note some of the albums—the ones that I could see, at any rate—with approval. I am glad you joined the merry band here.

:drum:

A very compact bench, my own is also a combined one: Day time is acts as my home office and evening / weekend time it changes to a bench..

I am super curious of the 1/32 Dragon 109 !!

Thank you! I’m glad I joined too. This is a really great community, here, and I’m glad to be a part of it. I’ve been reading the threads voraciously, and I’m absorbing a lot.

And yep- I smoke a pipe. Not too much, maybe once or twice a month. And I’m rebuilding the old record collection. I’ve lost many albums in moves, basement floods, and so forth. I have a lot of old punk and Oi! already, some Tori Amos as well (those are my wife’s), and I’m working on building-up my Soul and Motown stuff -that’ll take a while.

I saw that model online and had to have it. I like the cockpit, and I like that it has the full engine and you can build it with a removable cowl. When I build it up, I’m goiing yo build Horst Tietzen’s plane.
