Chris,

What socio political diatribes? A mentally ill man drove a car into a crowd and very similar anti-vehicular blocks were installed. The bloke was worthy of far more than one choice expletive.

He’s German - everything is “socia-political” to him, and everything post-1937 is “verboten”.

So true.

And I’m with you on crazies and their van laden demolition derbies…

Stagging on!!

I’ve meshed up the Sarrissa watch tower . Repainted it and added green tinted glass .

That's looks really effective, especially with the tinted glass - great job!

...the army has access to shit loads of CGI sheeting,...

I read that as Computer Generated Images...

Nice model. I would have put the mesh on the outside, and added corrugated iron along the bottom.

Not necessarily that, that was covered by the expletives part (minus which I'm inclined to agree). But from there it took a turn into broad brushes that wouldn't go anywhere worthwhile, period.

Also, @dickiegranthum, you may want to dial it down a bit with the language and picking fights with the forum administration not even 100 posts in. It's not exactly endearing behaviour.

I came across one or two young officers who might conceivably have been computer generated, albeit it would have been with all the computing limitations inherent in a Commodore 64. That said, it's more likely that any use of the term CGI associated with them would have signified ConGenital Idiot.

Your enemies most dangerous weapon is your second lieutenant with a map.

I put the mesh on the outside but it didn’t look good - just a block of mesh .
Possibly needs larger gauge mesh?

Nice! The gasmask heads for the Crooked Dice X commandos seem to be permanently out of stock.

Inquiring minds must know...

1. Who will be the first to build a 1/56 Iranian Embassy?

2. Will there be a 'not Lewis Collins' figure?

3. How many posts before someone links to the Stray Cats song?
