Soon after this post I am expecting a visit from some large men with sunglasses…..
We met and enjoyed lunch with an exceptional artist – now this is where I get into trouble on the Internet – he makes exquisite guns and I asked him to send me one, so he did, in the post.
I hasten to add, and I hope the security forces are reading this bit, is is a scale model of a Bofors anti-aircraft quad gun.
John Haynes is a world famous ship builder – his ships are wonderful scale models of the last 150 years of maritime history – his site is one of the most beautiful things I have seen for a long time https://www.johnrhaynes.com/index.html and (here we go again) the scale model of the 40mm Bofors gun is truly a work of art done by a master craftsman.
Museums and rich collectors own his ships and I strongly recommend a visit to his website – if I had the room (and money) I would cherish USS Gearing
Hope to blog tomorrow….be seeing you
