Thanks all  :)

By the way, what was your record for pages with your Medieval thread, as I think this one will be right up there! ;D

Hmmm... Good question Rob  lol
I do like these long-running projects you know. (Saves running a blog of my own!)

Well, a quick glance at the forum stats shows that as things stand, my WotR thread is at 117 pages, 1735 posts, and 427,000 views  :o
This one is currently a mere 109 pages, 1635 posts, but a paltry 149,249 views  lol

But hey, it's chickenfeed compared to the GW thread - 700 pages, 10,500 posts, and over a million views... Yep, you can see where the real interest on LAF lies these days. Or the people with the most to talk about at any rate ;)

Fear not though, both my mega-threads have more stuff coming over the next few weeks as my LPL entries work through the system!  :D

Excellent work on the Kettenkrad Richard! Weathering is spot on and the accompanying figures are superb as ever. Really should get me one or two of those Kettenkräder myself  8)

Re: Captain Blood's Western Desert: P.110 - Rolls Royce armoured car and crew

Ghastly thought.

Here's my Rolls Royce A/C and crew from the last round of the Lead Painters League.

This is the original Perry model - I think it attracted some criticism in some quarters and they may have had it remodelled slightly since I bought this a couple of years back. Not sure what the problem was, as it looks broadly right to me.

The commander is a Rubicon figure, complete with mug of tea. The crewman in the rear is a Rubicon/Perry mash-up.










The three figures on foot are all Perry:
The Harry Andrews caricature in the Not-'Ice Cold in Alex' personality set
A dismounted tank crewman
A plastic Frankenstein-kitbash (assembled from bits of different figures) with a Green Stuff haircut

Good to see that they all stopped at the pub for a quicker snifter before carrying on about their business.

That is one tough mug that just cannot be chipped, mate.
I did try when I dropped the Rolls on the floor at BLAM, but it had no effect!


Just do not tell Richard or he may have a funny turn......
