Well I finally had a game with the train.
http://www.edinburghwargames.com/Journal%2083.htmScroll past the awesome Waterloo game and my little train is there.
It's been great fun and I now intend to try an armoured boat for ww2 Russians and some sort of boat for indo china. I think I'm addicted to plasticard.
In summary.
2 train sets @ £5.99 each = £11.98
3 pieces plasticard = £3.25
2 x Paint (tamiya Olive Drab 2 = £12.50
2 x pencil sharpeners = £2.50
1 brown paint from Halfords = £5.99
Vallejo us green £2.50
Total = £35.72 and I've still a bunch of paint and card left over. And a train, tender and carriage.
This was my first ever build and a learning experience (as well as a lot of fun). Thanks to everyone for the encouragement. LAF is a fantastic forum
