See, my initial response was that it looks a bit drawn out and not angled enough at the front. Thankfully however I had a look at a pic first  :P



Looks pretty accurate to me :D

He has done a good job on it... Though I think he spent a fair bit of time in real ones a few years back!

Thanks V for showing the photo. Dave sent me the photo last night, it's a lovely looking model and will fit right in for the conflicts that it was used in.

Cheers,

Helen
Best wishes,

Ok Malaya range is a definite go... Helen, if my mom complain I will blame you!  lol

By the way my crazy head is thinking about some employements for those figures other than Malaya... WW3 in the 50 maybe? A general asian war?

Uhm... but I love gurkas and RM... need more of them!

You could actually do this and put simply for Malaya they were battling for survival at one stage. Both sides had an equal chance to win at one stage or another.

I like this type of conflict where you still have an enviroment that fits all types of gaming.

Say hi to your mum for me.  :D

Malaya is the first idea,

have done some reads in the past and it is interesting... also had to get material on it for my thesis... ok it is vietnam... bbut there is a connection... also once I got the privilege to talk with General Rupert Smith about Malaya and Borneo... therrain is taken care beacuse it will fit in my vietnam set...

I was just tinking I wanted the british to serve also in a couple of other scenarios... better to justify the buying... I can posit the commies got more support for outside and maybe are using some japanese leftover (have to find an excuse to fit a Centurion  ::)  ) I have an Ha go... and planning to get a shinhoto Chi Ha... nice little surprise for the british... but I am already mumbling a nice little scenario...

need some boats... have to build more palm trees...  mumble mumble....  o_o
