Strangely drawn to Back of Beyond ..

[H.M.Stanley]

Well spotted.  That shouldn't be there!  next edition you get a free copy!!!

 

[John Grant]

Well done that man!

Picked up a motor bike and side car with mounted machine type gun from 1st Corps at Warfare today, all I have to do now is put some Russian heads on the figures.

While at Warfare I had a very fruitful chat with JMBibbly  about the hazards of building a Tzar Tank. I'm going to try making it in card first and then in Plastikard. In the correct scale it will stand between 10" and 11" high on the table and carry a crew of ten with mounted machine guns!!!!!!!!  The crew don't have mounted machine guns the tank does!

Latest news- I wont have to make one I have found a Czech company who make a model of this beast. Have ordered it now we just have to wait for it to arrive!!!!

[H.M.Stanley]

A Czar tank sounds like fun. Can't wait to see the results.

We will have to have a suitable scenario for it dear boy. Crossing a high bridge comes immediatley to mind  

Seriously, that will look great

Have just watched The Good, The Bad and The Wierd. We'll have to come up with something for the motor-bike and side car too

You know the meaning of megalomaniac?  Sounds great, do it!

Very very impressed with the 1st Corps Romfell AC that i bought on here [thanks Mark]

I'm going to paint it up in a neutral colour and that switch it back and forth between the British and Chinese. Sound like a plan for a "captured" AC?

[H.M.Stanley]

And Peter Hopkirk's Setting the East Ablaze arrived today ...

What a fantastic book!! I've asked Santa to bring a couple more of his.

The Chinese WL project is still stalled [drums fingers] but at least i have the Anglo/Indians and Pathans

[John Grant]

Oh Dear! I can just see the headlines,  "Real life causes Drumming of Fingers!" where is it all going to end?   

It's only a small stall honest Boss!!!!

[H.M.Stanley]

F. Sutton Esq shows off his new toy to two chums ..

[John Grant]

OOOh I say that is rather nice. Given me the inspiration to make a list of the tasks ahead of me and completing the Russians is at No.4 , but the train is down at No. 9

Tomorrow will see the first one completed and then onto No. 2.

Just keep feeding me more inspiration.

[H.M.Stanley]

I have a rather splendid Rolls Royce AC [Dinky dicast coming]. How's that?

[Prof.Witchheimer]

That car is amazing and a lovely painting job as well. Who makes the car?

[H.M.Stanley]

Thank you Prof.

The AC almost paints itself. It is a lovely piece of kit - a 1st Corps Romfell
