Spent some time in and around Brisbane for week
First up, five nights here where I met and worked with other veterans, very cool
After that a trip to the Brisbane Library to meet and hear my favourite fantasy author, Raymond E Feist; before this stuff I only ever read history and politics with maybe the odd biography. Ray is a very modest man who writes good stories including, one of my top-books-to-read-ever- A-lister, Magician
Next up, to the Sunshine Coast, where I found this little underground wonderland, Nambour Hobby Centre, which produced the following...
British material for my cold war collection
And for the Russians... The figures will mostly be converted to carry assault rifles, as I did with these http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/cold-war-soviets.html and these http://20thcenturywargames.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/late-1940s-soviet-infantry-1st-company.html Most of my cold war collection is 50-70s, so far...
Always wanted some of these
This is for Paul (will post tomorrow:)
Not sable but certainly good enough vehicles and scenery
x2 for $1. I've seen Landcruisers all over the world so that one won't look out of place anywhere once painted, as for the Chevy I'm undecided. All in all a pretty good week away.
Lastly, can anyone recommend where best to get recoilless rifles from in either metal or plastic in 20mm?
Sounds and looks like a good trip, good haul too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a good trip.
ReplyDeleteThe stash has grown well :D
Some nice additions to the collection there, as to a source for 1/72 RCLs - Get hold of the Mars Mujahideen set, as it has a nice RCL on each sprue.
ReplyDeleteHere is link to a seller on Aussie ebay:
