Thanks :)

Here's my last LPL entry 'Desert Defence' with the newly painted figures in a bit more detail... Although I'm missing one somewhere!

The figures on the rooftops and the vehicles (painted by Queeg) and crews have been seen before in this thread...



Boy's A/T rifle. Monolith jar and Green Stuff haircut  :)









Mortar team... Minor conversion of the loader...

Lovely figures, I hope I can do them such justice when I get round to starting on mine.

I doubt it somehow. A gun dealer brought one of these to the gun club I belonged to back in the 80s. He let his wife fire a 'spotting round' as he called it, not a full charge of powder in the cartridge. The recoil took her clean off her feet and slammed her into a panel fence 6 ft behind.  :o.

Yes. Pretty much complete now Andy. Just finished the Matilda. Then I've got a few more crew figures to add, and will probably make up a few more plastic machine gun and mortar teams. But that's the collection pretty much do e and game-ready. I will add a few more vehicles over time I expect thoough. Eagerly awaiting Rubicon's forthcoming BMW and sidecar for the DAK, and I do need a couple of trucks for my British infantry, so maybe the forthcoming Rubicon CMP truck...  ::) :D

Once again Richard, outstanding brushwork. Great collection you have now to game with.
Best wishes,

I'm surprised Richard didn't enter the Boys gunner in the current LPL round under the title 'Pot Shots'. Opportunity missed.

I'll get my hat..... :)

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
