A broken thing that I found beside the road! Which isn't even a vehicle yet.

It's made of horrible soft plastic and is a kind of easel thing. Possibly some sort of music stand. Essentially an A-shaped wood-effect frame with a flap on the back to act as a stand, it's about 10cm long (ish) by about 5cm wide at the base.

I was walking up the road thinking 'I really shoud sort out some kind of limber-drawn VSF artillery device... ooh look, that will do for a limber'. Very serendipitous. Now I need to get some wheels...

MOTION IN THE HOUSE
Can the honourable members please seek to pass the motion to ban the right honourable members;

Akula
Commander Vyper
and Whtie Knight just for good measure

The motion is that they buy far too much are depleting e-bay, stocks both home and abroad of lots of lovely toys

Further more that I and other members must also be green with envy

*hums Ode to Joy as he types*

Today, a desire I had for 20 years was fulfilled - my local Modelzone received a batch of Revell USA resissues of old Monogram plastic kits, and huzzah, it included the 1/48th scale Hind kit! Got one straight away, and will possibly get one of the Frogfoots on the weekend. Chuffed to bits, marvellous kit to "abuse" as a gaming piece, although it is HUGE - some 40cm all in all.

Just a penny short of twenty quid for most of the kits - they had the "Century Series" as well as the Su-25, and some others which I don't recall. I think I'll get back there on Saturday and see what's left, and maybe buy a Su-25 to avoid disappointment later on, even if I don't build it right away.

A Dinky Daimler Dingo Scout Car, circa 1/56/ 1/60 scale. Will get a removeable plasticard superstructure to go with my growing collection of vehicles for the Portuguese Colonial Wars.

A 1/50 Solido Iveco truck, will stand in as a Berleit for the same and do service in various exotic locales as a general ride.

News on the minis: Portuguese likely to be finished sometime in Feb.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
