Which reminds me that I have to get some of my Black Cat pirates painted, so I can order some more.... and some Lost and Strange...

It seems that everyone is churning out great new minis at a tremendous rate these days...... my wallet cannot cope...  >:(  ;)

I found this one on eBay for a few pounds. The only ones I can find now are way more expensive.

The model is from Cararama, from the series 210ND:



Maybe this shop has one left (not sure, because I don't really understand their system).

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hmm, thanks, I don't quite understand the system, either... Maybe I should try ordering, and see what happens....

Sounds like a possibility, too. Thing is, with those toy vehicles, I like to have them in hand before buying. I've seen packs with different vehicles, where scale was all over the place in the same set....

Rob's got a couple of Vickers Mediums he uses for the 1938 stuff. I managed to get one knocked out by a milk churn full of dynamite using it in the Penarth game. They're a nice model.
My big vehicle purchase recently was 11 assorted inter-war diecast cars and trucks at the annual New Years Day collectors market in town for less than £1 a piece. One of the trucks has been painted up for my 1938 TA unit and given a driver I picked up at Penarth. There's another that'd do as it is if I can get rid of the "Cornwall Home Guard" decals it's got on it.
The cars are a bit too bright at the moment and in need of a paint job but at what I paid for them I'm not complaining.

Here's one that came out of left field! Just wish they'd do it in a larger scale.
