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

Do you do 54mm/1:35th scale wargaming? Apart from that, lovely!

The Ironclad Miniatures steam tank I ordered from them at the York show arrived today! Hurrah!  :)

But there is a piece missing. Boo!  :(

I've emailed them about it already so they should be able to sort it out, but I'd been looking forward to getting it for nearly a fortnight and now I'm all sad.

That's a beauty. 1/48 works quite well.

Steam 4, the armoured car with the lovely big wheels. It really is a lovely little kit, too.

Of course, now I have one, I realise it's not quite big enough...  ::)

No, it'd just go well with my other military models in 1/35.  Never enough softskins.

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.

I'd love to see a photo of the Cornwall Home Guard vehicle , it sounds like I could use it with my Home Guard which is where the Vickers is going to be used.

I've got to try to get some decent photos of my 1938 TA stuff once it's finished (almost there). I tried some on the corner of the Penarth game but they're mostly crap I'm afraid!
Will include the Home Guard truck. It's part of a diecast 3 vehicles "military" set that someone did that I picked up cheap on New Years Day. The other vehicles are a NAAFI tea wagon and an auxilliary fire engine. I also got an "RAF" set at the same time - a fuel truck, a barrage balloon tender and a "fitters" wagon. The latter being the same vehicle as the fire engine (complete with ladder) in RAF colours instead of grey.

Big Martin , I think I know the pack your talking about but it always seems expensive whenever I've seen it on sale on Ebay or similar. :-[

I found some transport for my Elvis Impersonator,  its a Ford rather than a Cadilac but its the right colour . Made by Yat Ming $13NZ .


I also found a Fire Engine made by Burago in 1/50th scale. It cost $20NZ , so quite cheap.

My desktop trainset from ebay arrived.


A tad too small for 28mm really, but perfect for the collection I want it to go with (Lucky Luke)
