Very nice additions, except that I'm a bit disappointed the Aussie hat is pinned to the side, they aren't on parade...

Perry should have a payroll direct deposit option. The wife would just see "misc. exp."...

Wot? no lemon squeezer?

Do you mean the wedge hat?

No, I presume he means this:

Ah.

Outstanding, Sikh heads and packs are the things I'm definitely missing at the moment!

No comment on Aussie hats.  I thought they were pinned up at the side as well...

Typically the hat was pinned up at the side, but it unfastened so that it could actually be useful too. The pic above was taken during the Syrian Campaign btw. The King's African Rifles wore a similar hat, as did the Royal Rhodesian Regiment.

Fair enough, if you are releasing two separate heads, then Sikh and Aussie are as good as any for a start at least. I would like to see Wolseley helmets myself, so hopefully if these sell well, who knows? Maybe even that odd little polo-helmet thing the South Africans wore might get a look in.

As predicted, silly slouch hats. Seems to be obligatory and just goes to show even the Perry twins buggers things up. I was right I now claim the five million pounds. Lord Lucan your worries are over, I'm retiring from the hunt on the proceeds.

That said I'm pretty happy with 8th Army tank crew. Little bit of work and  I now have crews for my post war Centurions etc.
Hopefully those carrier crews are separate purchases, I want some to convert as drivers for landies and Bedfords.
