A relatively quick job this time.
Just rebasing some Back of Beyond ANZACs.

I didn't rebase them for ages, as I was convinced they belonged to Vodkafan.
He now assures me that they don't. Must have been an eBay or Bring & Buy purchase.

Ah well they are no longer on square bases, but (like most of my skirmish stuff) are
on round (magnetic) coin bases.

Very nice mate.

Too late to save the Empire in your last game though.

From the Bitz Box, a broken broach. Now a smashed statue.
How long will the adventurers spend prizing loose all those gems?
Long enough for something nasty to catch up with them I feel.

I’m sure your boys will be up for the honour of saving the empire in future games

If they fail Bob I have these in reserve.

Two Gort type Robots AND a Corbamite device !!!

The robots could work well as part of a French vsf force ?

Maybe, but I have lots of other ideas for the French VSF.

James (Vodkafan) kindly re-wheeled some modern vehicles for me.
I added some canvas tilts (I think covered vehicles are more useful in a wargame.)
and here are the first two.

I plan to use them in my 'Wild Boys' project. Need to sit down & write some
simple, fun vehicle rules.

Very nice Pete.

Thanks Bob. I am looking to pick up some (possible) crew at Colours. Two Jeep teams
ordered from Grubby Tanks. I hope they will fit.

Two armoured cars for Wild Boys.
Again re-wheeled by Vodkafan (James)

My personal favourite, the Stalwart.
In the 60s ITV (a UK TV Channel) occasionally would show weird car races.
Not completely unlike Gaslands. Two teams, of two vehicles each, would race
over what looked like a tank training track. It was done as a time trial. Great fun!
The team I loved the best had a Stalwart & an Austin Champ. I had the Matchbox
Stalwart & the Dinky Austin. Used to replicate the races in the flower-beds in the
back garden. Many enjoyable hours.
Decades later my lovely Helen (not yet then my wife) paid for me to go on a 'Tank
Driving' Day. During that I got to drive a Stalwart for real, over a similar course.
No NOT the flower-beds!

So here it is. Re-wheeled by Vodkafan, tarpaulin & paint by me.
