Nice score, Alan. Nicely detailed too. You must have enough for at least a regiment or two there.

Depending on how many you keep, I would have thought you'd be able to cover your initial purchase (and more besides I shouldn't wonder)splash wrote:Now that sounds like a cunning plan for my surplusiggie wrote:Although I never did any war-gaming, I did buy loads of these many years ago and paint them up.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Splash's workbench
To say I’m a happy bunny might be an understatement
I don’t think they would have stored tanks on the top deck due to their weight making the ship top heavy, but as you see I have got a large amount of soft vehicles to cover the top deck leaving me with two unused bags of medium and heavy tanks, that could make a good contribution to my initial cost.
I can always be cheeky and cast some more lorries

This raises the question do I open up the front doors and have the Churchill’s or Shermans coming out?chrism wrote: they are the mutts what its ... aren't they cute..

Fantastic! And open door would be the icing

Don't you just love the way these simple builds get out of hand?
I wish, that I knew what was doing!

Opening the doors would make building the base easier and I’m still at the stage where no fiddle bits that can be broken off have been added .
So it looks like more surgery is required
