Re: 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.

Get things done

Re: What are people buying?
Finally managed to pick up one of these original boxed kits on ebay.
It was listed with some pieces missing, which turned out only to be the 2 chimneys, so was listed at a lower than normal price.
My classic Napoleonics will have something to fight over now.

That sort of thing?

It did occur to me that the box art was done by someone who had never been there.BaronVonWreckedoften wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 11:11 am"I don't reckon those roof tiles were terracotta back in 1815."Ilkley Old School wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 7:46 am My classic Napoleonics will have something to fight over now.

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
