Thanks Carlos. I have Sloppy Jalopy one from way back.
Nice work on the digger.

[Capt Troy Tempest]

Used to spend summers in very early 70’s at relatives in Belfast as teenage schoolboy. Seem to remember squaddies looking not much older than me. Wonder if my parents trying to tell me something sending me to holiday there.
Nice digger, why can’t I find things like that on eBay.

Nice JCB's. Given what's happening with the current owners you should asked the seller to deduct the VAT. 

"Nothing takes out barricades better than the Royal Engineers using plant equipment. Also good for crater filling and destroying unofficial roads."

Actually there was something better but they only got a run once, in 1972. 

[HESH]

Agreed , I know what that is and still thinking I might use one! 

[carlos marighela]

Yep. There are some reasonable printed versions out there that I have my eye on as the back up for a reserve demolition scenario. Should probably build the bridge first though.

Just came upon this thread. Love the modified vehicles for urban warfare. Great figs and lovely paint jobs. Great stuff!

Urban warfare? Aid to the Civil Power old boy, Aid to the Civil Power.

Indeed, every patrol I did was in support of the RUC, enabling them to carry out their lawful duty. It just happens that most of the time they weren't with us

[carlos marighela]

I'm sure they were with you in spirit.

It's the thought that counts, unless you are talking about spousal relationships where it's the generally the thoughtlessness that counts.

There are two ranges of diecasts that I think are worthy …. apart from the norm .

James Bond 007 diecast cars mostly come with figures , armed too in some cases .

The other range is Vanguards Hidden Treasures. That part of the Vanguard range comes dirtied, weathered and some damage .

Agreed , I know what that is and still thinking I might use one! 

 

Any rules for its 165mm gun?

Yes, if you are standing in front of it you are well fucked.

A thirty kilo HESH round will make a mess of most things.  Especially some twat in a balaclava with a tommy gun.

Black vinyl roof, tried to forget about them, mine cracked and peeled.

Very nice vehicles. Did you do anything with tyres or do they come like that.
Need to do something with mine, they look to nice and black, just out of garage.

Just a light dry brush of grey and a little squirt of earth brown from a can .

Just finished this one : Dinky , repainted , fresh set of decals , comms / Sat dish added from Crooked Dice . Markings are a bit dated but I can live with that .

Besides being table clutter it will serve a role - nobody likes the media looking over their shoulder whilst you are trying not to get shot!

[Capt Troy Tempest]

Nice. Right colour, BBC outside broadcast, Levenshulme Manchester.
When I was looking for reporter models I came across the large heavy old tv camera and operator. Sorry can’t remember company.

And the be sexiest all male domain back then apart from typing pool.
