I was wondering how I'd make it to Christmas until a ebay sale of some scrap figures to America for £172 and over £400 tax back I wasnt expecting I think its time for a flutter..
But what project to add too? Might get a Rubicon Tiger for the painting comp at Virtual Vappa and some shinies?

Well, if we're doing a Rubicon vehicle class
That Cromwell could be fun, or maybe even the nice new Pz III E.

Almost succumbed to a Warlord/Bolt Action special offer of free tank crews and extras (eg snipers or other special teams) if you buy a plastic boxed set. Until I discovered at the last minute that the boxed sets didn't include tank bundles (I wanted the Early War French set - two Somuas and three R40s).
Oh well, just have to wait for Black Friday......

You can take the punter out of Bury but not the Bury out of the punter.

Full marks to Hatton's Models for the world's most impressive pacakging! I ordered a single pack of 0.8mm brass rod - ten lengths of thin rod, 12 inches long in a very slender packet...
I received a box 18 inches square and 9 inches deep, that was 99.9% filled with packaging material and the air within.

And Royal Mail excelled themselves today. 3 parcels; one delivered next door, together with a slip saying another two parcels couldn't be delivered as the letterbox wasn't big enough, despite the front door being open. So now they will try and redeliver on Saturday.. groan.
