Update

So, finally got a few pieces to work on and have started a couple of mini projects, more later. These kits in the pictures are all 1/35 scale

This is from the collection of my friend Billy in Brisbane. His interests in this scale include: aircraft, vehicles and infantry, with the odd diorama as well.

New Buildings

All my kit is still to arrive. But I got x5 colours from the local toy shop and here what I finished up with...

These two are Airfix. Far too expensive for what they are :(

This last one is by Frontline

Return

Back from the Outback, and what a step back in time it was...

Anyway, picked these up the other day, x2 $50

Heading back to NZ in a couple of weeks. More regular posting should resume then

Packed Up... again

Ready for my next contract deployment...

Will resume posting as soon as I can

Best to all

Dave's buildings continued

                    A few pictures of Dave's ruined city work in progress, for his Stalingrad project

These have a medium sized footprint and represent a block of building that would a full company to occupy

Coming along nicely I am sure you will all agree!

Cheers

Lately arrived goodies

Nice little extras from my daughter Ashley

A couple of bags of very smart trees, a bag of jungle plants and trees, and some very good quality paint brushes. Bonus!

British Airborne Brigade

Still need minor touching up but pretty much finished. Sorry about the picture quality, I had to use my phone

3rd Battalion, including the usual mix of figure manufacturers 

A Coy

B Coy

C Coy

Support platoons: mortar, MMG, flamethrower engineers

The three battalions of parachute infantry

Support assets, still a MMG platoon and engineer platoon to add

PIAT and ammo porter platoons, still one PIAT to add

Various command sections

Recon sections

Gun crews.

Best to you all for this year and the next. All of your Blogs are a great source of inspiration to me when it comes to my hobby.

Cheers

New arrivals

A couple of this year's presents...

Nice little additions to my small Cold War collection

And this little number will give me a full company of these. Who says it is better to give than receive? :) :)

Hope you all had a good one

20mm Jungle Hut

Another very good resin building by Frontline 

Good for any jungle scenery, any era

Accurate sized footprint and very good value for money.

Shelters

Just your average bog-standard garden shed variety shelter really...

These are one piece resin models by Frontline; actually, from their small range of Sealion items in 20mm

Simple but really tidy little models, about AUD$10.

WW2 Indian Infantry Battalion

I've had this group a while but have had them out recently for a touch up

Based for CD3 1941-45

These were painted with Tamiya acrylics 

The battalion has two figures by Atlantic and several others as well.

The Italeri Well

Nice little piece this

Probably useful for multiple periods and theatres 

Just a little more painting around the rope work to do

Useful addition if you can get it cheap.

Dave's Project continued...

What do you reckon lads...

Very original and very well done!
