Christmas came early...

 

Two parcels arrived today covering 3 ebay auctions - not supposed to arrive until 27th December - 5th January.

This lot were by far the best in terms of useful items, spoilt only by excessive postage due to no option for combining postage. It means that the tank and SP artillery components are sorted and even allow for some experimentation re colour schemes.

Rather more tyres missing on these than the photos suggested - but then I always knew I would be having to source/make a load of tyres anyway. Next stage will be to de3cide how to make them - I might finish up making casts of the entire wheel rather than mess about with just tyres.

Which means only one more parcel due.

  1. The Diecasts have been well-loved :) And an interesting mix of scales. The Ferret with a Daimler turret is an interesting hybrid too.

    1. It is an eclectic mix. Happily, so is the rest of my collection.

    1. Yes, looking at some of the prices people ask for these things - don't think my average on a lot so far has passed the £3 per item mark. Will need work doing to them, who cares?
