Found the 60s game that used the figures...

Released by Almark, and if memory serves sculpted by Charles Stadden for a battleboard game I can't remember the name of? The figures had a prong on the bottom of their stand which fitted in holes all over the battleboard, you had a spring loaded popgun that traversed beneath the board which blasted the little man into orbit to splashdown under the sideboard, that's if you'd guesstimated yer ranges correctly...

Gosh I remember them, quite jealous of my mate who I gamed with, I never had any as I was a plastics man as I was after quantity for a long time at least until the 2000s

Cheers
Matt

I have recently built and I am building at the moment, PSC kits.
They are great kits for wargamers, very simple to put together and sturdy
I have built cromwells

PZ38t and Marder kit

and am currently building the 231 8-rad armoured cars

my only complaints would be the lack of decals
and my Pz38t did not have instructions

They look good though! As I said earlier, two fruit trays of kits from the 70s have been excavated from the very bowels of the Emporium...
they're that crap, they almost look good, how's that work!

Herself's just told me I'm an idiot, a position I cannot defend, to be fair. Yesterday I gleaned two A10 Cruisers from fleabay for a steal. After several celebratory lagers I pressed the button thingy to pay for them...
and they're now heading off to my lad's house in Sheffield. Much ranting ensued, at this lager fumed catastrophe, which resulted in Herself's unsolicited testimonial.
I fear the war will be over before mi' tanks rumble onto Cleethorpes beach.

Cruiser tanks have now reached the New Emporium by the Seaside, I'm guessing reliability and track problems slowed their progress from Sheffield?
They're S-Models and quite laughable. About five bits to assemble which makes a half decent model then, wait for it, brass etch super detailing thingybobs! Even with these additions they're still missing turret smoke discharges.
I fully intended going low tech, but I'm thinking piccys of this tat, can but only bring the Brethren's ridicule!

We would like to see pics away

Your command is my wish. I always flinched when my old mate used to say...

"Stop fretting, they're adequate for wargaming."

He'd just love this one!

Nice work! I have a couple of those S-Model A13s myself (I love S-Model, their Cold War stuff is excellent), along with the Dan Taylor upgrade set for them that really pretties them up.

Looks great

Better get to Specsavers!

gamer Mac · « **Reply #26 on:** February 07, 2021, 04:14:52 PM »

I am sure it looks great with the 3' rule at table top range.
I could do with a trip to specsavers though this lock down my eyes are getting bad

bluewillow · « **Reply #27 on:** February 07, 2021, 05:40:10 PM »

Not bad looking kit, I like the bronze green you used too.

Cheers

The flash kind of buggers up the colours and makes everything glossy. This piccy without flash is nearer to the finish on the actual model...

I find using all the spare lights (and natural light too, if available) without flash works for me. The "all the lights" idea came from a friend who is a photographer of the non-gaming variety. Your tank looks swell.
