I like those guys.  They'd work for post-apoc settings, too...

I like the pics of those 2 guys walking up that wall.  reminds me of the old 60s US Batman TV show... :D

Nice job on the airliner, too.

Gazelle! Looks like we are moving away from Watch with Mother to the era of heli-telly.  ;) I do wish someone would make a bog standard Lynx in Mk1 mode in an appropriate scale.

The SAS CRW figures are ace. Dunno whether I have an actual use for 'em but I suspect my mouse will be hovering over them when they go into the 1st Corps Shop.

Inquiring minds must know...

2. Will there be a 'not Lewis Collins' figure?
Not a grown up Billy Elliot?

An interesting thread with very atmospheric terrain  8)



Just a minor query;  Should they have the red band on the S6 filter? From (distant) memory I think that denotes a training filter (which still stops the effects of CS, so maybe they did use those).

Yes, according to ‘Six Days’ and Rusty Firmin. Others were Blue and White . Same colour tape strip along bottom edge of MP5 magazine. 

You are not imagining things tho … it did indeed indicate a ‘ training only’ canister to us mere mortals . 👍

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.

To be fair you made me research more and I discovered the mesh should be squared not diamond so …. Redid the mesh and placed on outside of frame . You are right 👍

In the meantime, if you have access to a printer and are handy with making card buildings 
these can be readily downloaded and resized.

They also have a wealth of other useful stuff like rows of terrace housing, semis,shopfronts warehouses etc. As some of the larger pieces are modular you can add height, depth etc. Worth having a look.

I can answer the first two …. But it’ll be 1/48 scale and two versions of Lewis Collins are on the table . Bodie and this one ….

I just rewatched 6 Days. Looks to me like the cardboard model made for planning the assault in the film is roughly that scale. Apparently the IWM has the actual model.

Anywhere, quick bit of googling found the floor plan, if you don't have it already.

Massively blown up it would probably e a fun game with the old Airfix 1/32 set.
