Via one of the local thrift stores, a Matchbox Models of Yesteryear Ford Model A Coupe. Judging by photos found online, it's very nearly perfectly in scale with 28mm.

We don't actually have many enclosed cars, and this one is especially nice to get as it's a vehicle that was as common as stink back in the pulp era!

My thrift store finds, a couple of tractor-trailer rigs about 1/60-1/56 scale. Plan to use them in an up coming zombie game.

Couple of Christmas gifts!

Warlord Cromwell mark IV - great model, now have 3 but only 1 painted.

Warlord Sherman Firefly - not as impressed by this (no box, mould lines along the front of the hull, big globs of resin between the wheels and the bottom of the hull will need a good sanding as its quite rough/badly cast?)

Gasoline 1/48 VBL. It's a really lovely little model and brilliantly designed and cast. No  flash and the casting gates/dags are designed in such a way as they are easy to remove without the major surgery that often comes with resin kits.  Looks pretty good sizewise against the Eureka French, so all up I'm pretty happy.

This was part of an order that included conversion kits for the Solido/Verem VAB and some beautiful liitle multi media .50 cal machineguns. Really cannot speak too highly of the product or for that matter the customer service. The little pieces I ordered were sensibly packed into the box for the VBL and a little note attached expalining this. I'd heartily recommend anyone considering doing business with QuarterKit to do so.

Does ordering count?

Just bought a 1/48 scale Hi-Tech BTR-70 (same as the one in the Stalker thread) from China and a 1/35th scale barge from Historex - it was cheaper to go to them than get one off of Ebay.

Two Warlord games/ Bolt Action Humber IVs to be converted into GMC Foxes. Very nice little models and very cleanly cast.  I'm looking forward to putting these together.

Found these at the flea market at €5 each.

It's just Mel Gibson's ex-wife's way of making him come out of his trailer.  :)
