Two Star Wars miniatures Telosian Tank Droids and a TIE Crawler. The Crawler's pilot pod is a bit on the small side, good thing I'm going through a Space Dwarf phase at the minute!

Was browsing for a in scale Helicopter, and stumbled over this nice little truck at the Toys R US.

At 7 bucks, it feels like a steal!

The side panel even lift up for soda can storage....

Picked up a few pieces from Minimi at WMMS yesterday, all for LOTHS - a Large Sloop, a Pinnace and two of the small whaler rowboats.

I seem to be amassing quite a little fleet - if only I had enough men to crew them all!

Just received a box with 4 Diecast Models of Yesteryear cars that I win from e-Bay.

I got one of each;

1907 Rolls Royce – Silver ghost
1911 Daimler
1914 Prince Henry Vauxhall
1909 Opel Coupe

The Rolls Royce fit very well with 28mm figures. The Daimler and Prince Henry Vauxhall are a tad too big for my liking but still within acceptable limits IMHO. I think that the Daimler is too big (probably a 1/43 model) and I’m not sure I will keep it…

I plan to re-paint them to use with my WWI figures collection… will I be hunted down by hardcore collectors if I do so?

I picked up the following for a Pulp game loosely based on the Mummy...
Sloppy Jalopy - Ford AA Flatbed
Sloppy Jalopy - Ford AA Pickup
Sloppy Jalopy - Crossley 19.6 Tourer
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Two Slix diecast cars from Sainsbury's. I'm almost positive that these are the same cars that Tesco were selling as Phat Wheels. I picked up a police car, which looks really good and scales up nicely for 28mm, and some kind of Hummer with really small windows that scales up okay, but not brilliantly.

I was looking for car build before or around 1914 because I collect Early WWI figures. If your setting is in the 1920’s or 1930’s you could also check Lledo models. They should be less expensive than the Matchbox Models of Yesteryears which appears to be more sough after "collectibles pieces".

lol, I'm different. I focus on one thing!

Albeit, quite a big thing. i.e. 2 armies at once, one painting, the other buying, basing and cleaning.  :)
