Your loft is like the Tardis, Phil! Who really knows what's up there....
Sorry, but figures do nothing for me. Not a patch on the Foundry ones IMHO. (Ducks now)

Thanks.  I thought it was a 1/56 you had, which meant you had a loft as big as Henley aerodrome...  I have a DH10 in 1/56 and its a monster!

Outstanding! :o :o :o :D

Any Brits in the pipeline?

Hope so, Mr. Copplestone's ones are jolly nice but are truly giants among men :)

F**k me you spend a week at sea and come back and find Empress have pulled out all the stops. Not only fantastic Hicksy Afghan/Pathans but also some excellent scratch building material. Has Paul Eglestone become possessed by Steve Job's spirt? Can't wait to see some Brits, perhapse even some Matelots ;)

Although I have a long running game board project of this era, I have never come across these images. They are great!
A certain image in particular peaked my interest:

That pic is "Fez-tastic!"  ;D
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
