New Things

Back from another few days with my team in Brisbane


The 'Hexagon' stuff is to go with some scenery me and Tracy are building for some 28mm science fiction games, probably Necromunda or something of that ilk


No way I'd ever pay the full retail price for one of these, the prices in the two countries I've seen them in so far are obscene. Ten bucks was alright though.


Different shop but same story, slightly dearer this one. The store owner told me these Aifix buildings are hard to sell. How long does it take a marketing genius to work out that the punters think something is too expensive? I should work for Airfix :):):)


Got this mainly for the accessories but the building is a bonus because I don't really have a lot here in Australia yet


The Sci Fi stuff I mentioned 


Needed some of this stuff too


Will make more of an effort to make some new poses to show you with these ones


Looking forward to doing the top one


WW1 staff car


Minor nations transport


Nostalgic, couldn't help myself with this one, will fit it in somewhere amongst my cold war collection


Some brighter colours for the 28mm figures

  1. Excellent haul!! I can't believe you got that building for that price. Looking forward to seeing you use those bright colours!

  2. That's quite a spend Al! The Efsi Model T van (the second diecast) featured prominently in several of my own units and I well remember the orange Matchbox radar truck. My own was er 'converted' to a more useful (in the late 1970s at least) armoured car using a spare turret from a Matchbox Stuart. Happy days.
