Back in the modelling saddle yesterday after the 1-week GB madness and a great Maltese holiday.  Just an hour adding a few bits and bobs to a RW Airfix Zero.  Nice little kit, it'll be good to see it finished.

Ta, Chris.  Who'd have thought so much could be crammed into somewhere smaller than the Isle of Wight?

And there was a Grand Master of the Knights of St John Playmobil figure??

Definitely going back, so much with 10 minutes walk of our Valetta hotel that we didn't get to see, plus much more.

And Grand Harbour is stunning.

You took your time.  I was beginning to worry I was losing my touch.

Very impressive, well worth a look if it ever visits a local port.  Which I know rules out the many people who don't live near one.
