Making one was the idea but for us trolls who have to work so hard, they do say time is money plus it should be a lot easier and much better. Oh and quicker, you should see the huge list of things I've got to complete.

I'll have you know they have got the first layer of basing material on them, just waiting for the glue to dry before they get a coat of medium oak to colour and stick all the loose bits together. Then dry brush and add scenic 'flock' and a final matt varnish and Robert is your Aunt's husband so to speak.

I stand corrected. The [EDIT: Matchbox not Dinky] RR/AC is a tad large even next to the Copplestone British troops (it dwarfs the Pulp Chinese). I:44 scale?

Its not going stop me using it though. It looks smashing  :D

Now, where are those Reds when you want to mow something down ...

"What's that coming over the hill its a monster its a monster ..."

[Bolshy - actually, Comrade, its a Tzar tank]

Second dry brush on base today, foliage etc later today after I have rewired an epee for a club member - I told you I was busy at work.

We've got a days work in March!!!!

I am becoming impatient for the Tzar to arrive............ !
