The lamb was melt in the mouth stuff and the blackcurrant meringue pie was not too shabby either. :-D

Fantastic work as usual on those figures! The poses have such life and movement to them. Very neat little carrier.

I was also looking to do something different from aircraft and was thinking about dabbling into some armour. I might try one of those Tamiya 1/48 tanks. They do not take up too much room and they look pretty detailed.

Really enjoy your work PT!
Paul

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Cheers Paul. 1/48 is a handy size for armour, and not TOO much money.

Great looking Carrier, PT and that is an interesting looking conversion of the old Airfix Bengal Lancer - looks like both horse and rider wearing gas masks?
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Horace is nearly done now, just got the gasmask lenses, another rolled sheet and the rigging.....sorry! reins 'n' straps to do.

Great work on the horse, PT and the gas mask does indeed make it a little creepy!

Not much more to do on Horace and CC, so switching attention to the base and backdrop. ( I have a cunning plan! :-D )

Cheers guys, are you sure I can't tempt you into the One for the books GB? even once you've seen these examples from the 'Buck Danny' books? (They were new to me, Rob kindly introduced me to the series)
