Title: African 20mm Imagi-nations -new architecture in Kongaline
Post by: Bezzo on February 26, 2013, 09:12:51 PM: The government forces are about to take possession of a new AA tank. Based on a Poundworld chassis. Original tank on left, the stowage bin fouls the rear deck so it really cannot be used as is, but the running gear is okay.

The radar dish is actually a wok from a set of miniature pans sold by....Poundworld.

with a coat of paint to hide the wokky nature, but not finished

Did not see these tanks though - our local Poundland had trucks and hovercraft.

Post by: Rob_bresnen on February 26, 2013, 11:38:24 PM: stunning stuff.

There is nothing more satisfying than finding a cheep toy, looking at it and thinking 'Humm...I could use that as a XXX'

And from one benevolent dictator of an African Imagi-Nation (all be it as 28mm one) to another, let me welcome you to Africa. You can find some of this bits and bobs I have made from toys on my Blog. It's tremendous fun.

Especially taken by the boss with his arms folded.

Top job.

Did you use plaster on the walls? Looks rather good and quite "in scale".

Post by: former user on May 06, 2013, 07:26:35 PM: the roofs are really an eye catcher.scratch-build or plastic sheet?

(I thought to myself how did I miss this, as I am sure I commented on the original post.
Now I realise my error...many apologies for my lapse in concentration).
:D

I have to say that those buildings look fantastic.
Great scratch building, and as for those roofs... :-*

soon with all your wonderful foreign currency.

Really? The man from Kongaline on the internet offered me a share of his huge lottery win if I send him my bank details......

This is a nice collection. Pleased to see it grow. Its a shame that the old Airfix ready made modern vehicles aren't around......

You must mean my cousin who has indeed scooped the Kongaline Lottery and won the fabulous sum of 47 zillion Kongaline Dollarpounds which in your currency is....almost £29 English Sterling. He is quite happy to share his riches, merely send him your pin number, nothing could be simpler. He is a very obliging fellow.
lol lol
Very nice assembling , very impressed by the cars, never seen before.
Bravo !

Post by: Mason on May 12, 2013, 11:38:54 PM: Nice work, Bezzo.
Whilst the cars are indeed nice, I love that building in the last picture.
That works perfectly.

I think I know him.
He sent me an email to say hello.
Apparently we are related too.
What a coincidence!
