The snowmobile and figures look like it would be useful for an Ice Station Zebra game.

As for the Austin 7s

Your absolutely right . breach and bolt shouldn't be placed face down. Neither should it be placed on the ground only ever rested on your kit.
I've put it this way for a couple of reasons . It just didn't work visually another way . It bugged the heck out of the khaki in me. Then I came across a period photo with the weapons placed this way.(actually just the one in the top rack.) So I thought what the heck.There's by the book, and then theres free from the eyes of a stripe.

The version with the hood up is a radio car theres an antenna to fix to the left wing and a runner.
Theres a couple of crew options for the civillian soft top.

As I mentioned in another thread I've found a couple of old pictures. Here's one of scenery and figures I no longer own.But I thought it worth a mention that from time to time I do have enough finished for game.

I've been double busy as the saying goes.
Here's a quick of one of the projects that have plodded across my desk recently.

That's the heavily-laden adventure biker, right? Or something new?

EDIT: Wait, no, he doesn't seem quite so massively burdened - and that's almost certainly a period Harley. A US scout to complement the British one?

Fantastic stuff
How many hours are in your day then?

tin shed gamer · « **Reply #83 on:** November 07, 2018, 04:08:10 PM »

The answer is 14-18 hour day.(especially this time of year.)

Glad you like it. But its not a 'follies' bike. It's a commission for some one else.(Infact it'll be sent on it's merry way on Thursday).
Quite a deceptively simple brief,of a two in one kit . Two very different looks and genres all from one set.
Fram ,
In the picture it's not quite finished . So its a little deceptive from this side with all the kit added (including the Harley style horn) Its actually an interpretation of 1926 Superior .

Ah! I see now... Is this a private thing or will it be for sale? Dear lord would I like one of THOSE!

The tank is actually what made me first think of Harleys, as their famous wartime WLA had the long flat teardrop design as well. The rifle holster also fits too:

Please let it go on general sale

Ewan .
It's my understanding it will be.(just not as a follies piece)

Fram .
The Brough superior was what was asked for. With a .303 holstered as an optional piece.The brief inclued a section of 'flying' scarf. Also the ability to build a historic and pulp inspired bike all from one model.(minimal effort and parts.)

Great hog! It makes me think of the first scene in 'Lawrence of Arabia'
