Hallmarks new 2012 Xmas ornaments have a couple of nice additions.

First is the Bat!


Looks to be 1/50 scale.  Here it is, next to some miniatures from Crooked Dice and Hasselfree, along with a Hotweels 1/50 Batman Tumbler.


And they also released this which has been on my want list for awhile.


The Bat was about $30.  The DeLoreon was about $20

Commando Miniatures SWB Landrover, purchased from another LAFer. It's pretty poor to be honest. Seems on the smallish size scale wise, detail is overstated and the casting is a pretty rough and ready, the white metal wheels are particularly bad. Actually, it really comes across as a home cast item. Acceptable when painted up and really cos it's the only SWB Landy in a reasonable scale out there. Alas, I  have also been constructing and painting a couple of superb pick up trucks/ technicals from Imprint, so it really does suffer by comparison, a case of chalk and cheese really. Pity, I was enthused by the pictures on the web page.

I bought a cardboard pirate ship from the works for £7.99 yesterday.

It's about 61cm long and 58cm high. The cardboard pirates that come with it seem about 40mm, so scale wise, it should be okay. No idea how strong it will be when built, and it's no match for a resin one, but for £7.99 it will do  :)

Now I just need to dig out the coloured pencils/cheap craft paint, as it's not coloured in, despite the picture on the front of the box :(

Wild wild west - steam walker – bought in group of other toys from E Bay – waiting for me at the post office sorting depot as package too big to go through letter box.

Opportunities endless – imagination running away with its self.

Shame the end result will not live up to expectations  :( – but the dream is there.   :)

A couple of damaged Mark 1 Rhinos from Ebay to tart up and use with my (long planned) Squat force, and a nice chunky wheely-crawler thing from our very own very_lazy_dragon to make into an engineer/recovery vehicle for the same project.

Some more wonderful vehicles from Imprint via Nic Robson who put in an order a while ago. A BTR-80, a HMMWV and a T-72. Alas, silly bugger me I had mostly built the T-72 when I realized the supplied version had two right hand side skirts supplied as opposed to a left and a right. Time for a politely worded request to the manufacturer. That aside, very happy, Bob's vehicles are the gold standard for resin castings.

A nice sized box of AT-43 walkers is sitting in the trunk of the car having just been picked up at the Post Office today. An assortment of Red Bloc with at least one UNA thrown in, IIRC. I can hardly wait to get home to open my "prezzie."  :)

I put in a test order to Daemonscape, who now have the Ground Zero Games range of sci-fi vehicles.

www.daemonscape.com

Bloody impressive. Got an email to say they were being cast to order, so resigned myself to waiting a week or so. No, arrived next morning, clean casts and very well packed, approximately 36 hours from placing the order.

Have bought a snowcat type apc and a little attack flyer thing for my Grymn, very impressed and highly recommended.  :)

For the first time in many years I bought some WWII 28mm models, the Bolt Action plastic 251, T-34/85 and a Hetzer.
