T-55 Tanks finished

I've now finished the four diecast T-55 tanks, two green, two desert. The tanks were advertised as 1/43, but are pretty much bang on 1/50 when measured up, which is my preferred vehicle scale for use with 28mm miniatures. The US ranger is a 28mm MoFo figure.



Sneak peak- diecast 1/50 scale Soviet T-55 tanks

I've now started importing copies of Soviet arms from China! Four T-55 tanks arrived (in around six days- amazing!) and I'm half way through painting them up. The models are really detailed and have moving plastic running gear under a diecast metal chassis upper and turret.

I'll sell one of each colour on eBay and keep the other two- probably won't make any profit, but as shipping is negligible extra for a couple more than I want I often make the surplus available to anyone who wants to bid.

Dinky Berliet Gazelle truck

I found this truck in a very sorry state up the loft- I think I've had it since I was around eight years old!

Stripped in boiling water and caustic soda, resprayed and it'll do nicely as a generic Third World heavy duty truck. :O)

28mm Britannia Somalis

Not the best sculpts, but part of a job lot on eBay and looking forward to using them for the Ambush Alley/ Force on Force 'Day of The Ranger' scenarios:

The Assault Group WW2 USMC

Just finished off some more of my lead mountain of WW2 stuff.

I've got about another dozen USMC to paint to complete the platoon.

The Higgins boat- style landing craft was a plastic toy I repainted.

28mm MoFo 1990s Delta

1990s Delta from MoFo, bought from Gripping Beast. Lovely figures and I wish they did more in the range.

Solido VAB

A French VAB 4x4 armoured vehicle picked up on eBay and given a new lease of life.

It's a generic enough shape and colour scheme to be used to approximate a number of vehicles and I'll use it as part of the relief convoy in my Black Hawk Down scenarios.
