When I grow up I want to make a model village, but possibly not on the scale of the Tobu World Square, where world landmarks are recreated in 1:25th scale. American blogger in Japan Calton Bolick visited the tourist attraction recently and had the eerie experience of once more staring up at the World Trade Centre towers.

Airfix heads 2,400 years into future

Model maker Airfix is looking to the future of its business – 2,400 years into the future to be precise.

The company, famous for its fiddly plastic reproductions of World War II planes, tanks and battleships, is launching a range of robot fighters from the 45th Century.

It seems that the Spitfire and Lancaster Bomber no longer cut it with today’s younger generation, brought up on a diet of Power Rangers and Pokemon.

And in a move that will appal purists, the new models will be snapped together instead of requiring painstaking, and often frustrating, gluing.

What aren't they telling us?

Welcome to the official website of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS).

As Britain’s secret service, SIS provides the British Government with a global covert capability to promote and defend the national security and economic well-being of the United Kingdom.

SIS operates world-wide to collect secret foreign intelligence in support of the British Government’s policies and objectives.

Regional instability, terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and illegal narcotics are among the major challenges of the 21st century. SIS assists the government to meet these challenges. To do this effectively SIS must protect the secrets of its sources and methods. This factor is reflected in our website.
