That's impressive work -- quantity and certainly quality !! I see you even converted the bridgelayer to the folding version.

I'm very happy they went to a good home.

Fantastic finish on those two Chris and the AVRE Churchill looks particularly impressive.

Seeing as I have only just stumbled over the line with my Comet build, I can only applaud your efforts in getting all these done to such a high standard. Well done, Chris!

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.


This really is the final submission from me.....

As with the extra few days ... I made myself find the time to paint these figures. If nothing else, I owed it to John to complete everything in the time allowed if possible.

They came from from 7 different Matchbox sets. In the photo are the ones which John kindly supplied, and a couple or three Germans from my misc box which I knew were MB too.

Very good finish !!

I couldn't do that in such a short time, not neatly at any rate.
