What are people buying?

What have I bought today? I'm not completely sure myself but I'm rather hoping it will turn out to be a 1/56 Dingo. Even if it isn't it will appear in Kumbayah in May.

Brushes at the Hereward show from ABC Brushes. 10 for a quid. A fiver has probably got me all the terrain/basing brushes I need for the next decade

That sort of thing?

It did occur to me that the box art was done by someone who had never been there.

I dont know about you lot but as a youngster I found Airfix box art enticing.

I actually quiet like the shabby chic look in this picture

Of course we did, it was, you didn't have google images or Mike Starner to show you what it looked like.

Some 42mm Russians that should either work as 2 groups of skirmishers or a battalion of dodgy Siberian type line infantry. Might just get these on the table for Fram
