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

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.

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

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
