Hi to every one, My copy of UiF 2 was handed to me by my post lady this morning, I must say that I am as impressed with issue 2 as I was with issue 1 . The second issue follows the style of number one, lots of clear sharp period photos many of which are reported as being published for the first time accompanied with text that explains what you are looking at. The pictures open up a range of modeling/diorama possibilities, there is a one photo of some poor chap using the "outside" loo (toilet) for a sit down job who can do no more than smile weakly at his so called mate holding the camera, talk about being caught with your trousers down, but it would add interest if not typically English "Toilet Humor" to a diorama . I for one would like to thank the people responsible for this publication and I look forward to supporting them and their work in future. PeteV
