They're exuding personality!
(most of the 51st Highland Dvi., Black Watch?)
-
Hoots Mon! The Black Watch it is!
;)
-
Terrific stuff! Reminds me of a certain time ......
-
Very smart

I've still never heard an actual Scotsman say 'Hoots Mon'. Just sayin'
-

I've found a new way to send yersen demented...
painting Fallschirmjager splinter pattern in 28mm, then adding the 'raindrops' with a pin.
If you think painting 'pea dot' cammo sends you to the gates of madness, trust me, splinter pattern sends you right through 'em, kicking and screaming, at ninety miles an hour!
Will someone please confirm that Jerry Paras in North Africa often wore a plain sand coloured smock?
:o
-
Many wore the same smocks they wore in Crete,or no smocks at all,shirt sleeves,British kit et cetera were popular.Google Brigade Ramke,images. You can’t go far wrong. As far as I’m aware no smocks were specifically designed for North Africa.

It always seems to wind up with Paras!
Now Captain Faversham, fresh from Blighty with elements of 1st Parachute Brigade, has come to bring a bit of tone to the vulgar brawl!

Well, today's been a funny old day in the New Emporium by the Seaside. For the first time since 1970 I've glued together a 1:48 scale armoured vehicle and thoroughly enjoyed it!
A very impressive Rubicon SdKfz 222 armoured car, it's gone together like a dream and is ready for priming and painting. This will give the Germans a bit of punch in their next encounter with the Desrt Rats.

My admiration for this little Rubicon model has gone up a notch as the paint's going on. I thought I detected a flaw in the wheel's casting, a definite flat bit, then I realised it was on all four. You can only put the wheels on one way and the flat bit goes to the bottom...
back in the seventies, any modeler who turned up at our local IPMS meeting, with a truck's tyres sanded down a tad on the bottom was immediately elected a modelling superstar and given a medal!
Even I can't bugger this little toy up, it's almost creating itself.

"Potting?"
"No, Sir, it's just the way I have to walk when playing this bloody thing."

For once I was right!
I've got a well doody little DAK runaround to play with in spite of my crap modelling skills. Now all I have to do is entice the little bastard into range of B Company's Boys gunner.

Last time I glued one of these together it was Airfix from the dawn of time. I'd forgotten how much bigger 1:48 was...
::)
