After London, my next most common mint find is that of Canterbury, just ahead of York. These coins date from Cuthred, King of Kent, 798-807 through to Henry VIII, 1526-1532

These kits conform to my previous, albeit limited, experience of Aoshima kits: lots of cleaning up parts. Got an assembly line going 👍😊

I’ve never used SMS paints before so a little test to make sure there are no nasty reactions with the primer or the decals. I’ve cried too many tears to get caught out again.

There are some parts for other versions on the sprues so there’s not a whole lot to this build. The cab and back are moulded in one piece rather than the ten separate pieces some other manufacturers would insist on. I’m left with some interesting spare parts 😊

This is what pisses me off. Closing up the fuselage to fit the bottom wing assembly snugly has resulted in gaps between the wings and the fuselage at the roots. If I’d checked I would have had the gap underneath as it’s easier to fix. Out comes the plastic card🙄 #HistScaleModels

With a few very rare exceptions the only coin minted from around the 760's to 1279 was the silver penny. Fractions would be achieved by cutting the coin, in half for a halfpenny, and quarters for a farthing (aka fourthing) From 1279 under Edward I round fractions were produced.

A border collie sits on a large rock overlooking the Yorkshire Dales at sunrise. Golden sunlight fills the sky and illuminates the rolling hills and grassy moorland, with the dog's brown and white coat blending into the warm autumn colours of the landscape.
