That's All Folks..........

Signing off now until after Christmas, many thanks to all my followers and visitors over the year especially those who have taken valuable time to comment on my mindless ramblings.

Have a grand time one and all and remember to KBO

Bikkelheim Rathaus

Another EBay purchase to add a town hall to Bikkelheim, I paid a little more than I usually am prepared to pay but it was too nice a piece to pass. I have noticed a price hike on the starting price of most Faller/Kibri/Pola items of late, one building in particular was up for £16.50 last year I paid the same for two. I am only really on the look out for a suitable shop type building or two now.

Anyway here is the completed Rathaus

The cobbles are from Wills, the clock face was sourced on the web and downloaded then sized to fit before printing, the base is a bespoke one from Warbases.

Hopefully the postponed game at OHQ will be on Tuesday, another Battlegroup game is planned.

Until next time.........

Rollender Sarg Ost

The 7.5cm Pak40 auf Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) prototype was presented to Hitler in October 1943 after which plans were to produce 400 per month. However only an estimated 80 - 90 were built, it is not difficult to see why, they were slow, noisy, lacked armour and had a high silhouette, little wonder they earned the nickname "rolling coffin east”

With such a pedigree I just had to add one to my German collection🙂

Vehicle is from SHQ Miniature and the crew are from Plana Mayor.

Radio Ura! Ura!

Here is the Soviet Radio Communication truck, a resin Britannia/Grubby Tanks piece.

The Soviet command group, also Britannia/Grubby I painted way back in 1990s!

All mounted in bases from Warbases.

Until next time..........

Down But Not Out

In full KBO mode and in tandem with commission stuff and the Red Dawn stuff, see Dave's Tales From GHQ blog, I have completed a couple of items for the FB Battlegroup November Build.

This months being Forward Headquarters units, first up a radio communication vehicle for the US Battlegroup, a Ready to Roll resin piece. 

Next the senior officer and team, AB Figures in an Italeri jeep.

Also nearing completion is a Soviet Radio truck.

Until next time......
