Lovely work!

Usually I'm not a fan of the jewelled headlights thing but it really works here, accentuating the cute Japanese cartoon look of the Mighty Mite.

Botou os ingleses na roda

Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thanks Carlos, they just suited the look of the Mite. It certainly was a funky looking vehicle like you almost a cartoony look about it.

That is very nice work.
Thanks you it's much appreciated, the mule is next. Hopefully it won't take much longer to get it finished.

Thanks CapnJim, the Mighty Mites certainly a wierd looking vehicle, but it makes a nice change rather then having all Mutts ferrying men around. The Recoiless Gun is a great addition, it wouldn't of been right not to add one.

Looks blooming marvellous!

Thanks Sparrow, they both turned out real nice. The collection is expanding nicely.

I’ve added a Migthy Mite, absolutely lovely little model from Empress


That's a great looking model

Good work on the paint job also, particularly like the way you've down the head lamps, might have to replicate that myself  :D

Thank you, it painted up nicely once I got started with it. I've spent most of my time on infantry figures so it was nice for a change! It also inspired me to get the Mule and Recoiless Gun done.

Your right, fascinating little vehicle! It makes a nice change from the Mutt.

So now the Mule
another lovely model from Empress, I decided I had to have the recoiless gun mounted on it.



I've updated my blog with a brief write up and as always more photos, feel free to check it out

Continued good work.

Does anyone do a 15mm Mule with RR ?? Might put some into an AK47 army.
