Still on a 'go back and finish off' phase.
 |
| Getting on with the Anyscale fleet I bought last year. |
 |
| Includes a few fishing boats. Painted for wargames, including just one coat of paint so colours aren't just a single shade. |
 |
| FP stands for Fair Port, their home harbour. The numbers have no significance that I am aware of! |
 |
| I like these vessels. |
 |
| The various sail boats will have their number increased. |
 |
| Likewise the rest of the boats. The range seems to have expanded since I bought these. |
'20PCS Luminous Tree Elves Figures, Alien Figure for Garden Ornaments Outdoor Miniature Fairy Garden Decor, Glow in the Dark Spirits for Micro Landscape, Succulents, and Pot Decor (Blue & Green)'
 |
| Found on Amazon. 20 of them for £7.99. Right size, look like they would make good aliens or supernatural beings... |
 |
| ... And they glow in the dark... Sure there are opportunities there... |
 |
| Very plain, no markings... The idea is to provide an occasional enemy rather than a regular enemy. |
 |
| Still to check for size/compatibility are some of my cheap Chinese things. |
 |
| The rocket corps can be dismounted... |
 |
| Plus the trucks themselves may prove useful |
 |
| And there are helicopters. |
 |
| With assorted (though too late) aircraft and different types of rocket it should be possible to ring the changes. |
 |
| It's a bit of a pity that the tanks are not big enough! |
 |
| They're not all the same! |
 |
| The majority are like this. Standard Airfix Patton tank. |
 |
| One still seems to be a Patton judging by the mg turret. But it's completely different. I assume an earlier version though the road wheels are detailed better. |
 |
| Finally, one with a Patton turret on a Centurion body. |
No matter - these are due for an even cruder paint job and, as generic NME tanks, the oddities could simply be different versions or something.
 |
| OK, Not a proper armoured division, purely a pulp version. AC, HQ, Tank troop and SP RA detachment only... |
 |
| I like the way they have turned out. Still not 100% on the colour but it is growing on me. |
 |
| The Division is completely fictional so you won't find this Divisional sign anywhere. I'll probably call it something like the 1st North British Armoured Division or something. Certainly that would be a reasonable working name. Plus the colours on the badge look Scottish. |
 |
| The Daimlers have been given different squadron insignia rather than all having the same one. So technically I suppose each armoured car represents a squadron. I should probably have done the same thing with the tanks. The Dingo (or Ferret? think it's a Dingo. Must check what is says underneath) is marked as a HQ vehicle. |
 |
| When it came to allocating tyres I prioritised the armoured cars. As yet, the new tyres for this lot haven't arrived. Part of the Saracens missed being sprayed which I hadn't noticed - now corrected! |
So that is the main part of the pulp armoured division. Still got a few support vehicles to arrive and refurbish but this lot are enough for the fighting bit. Thinking about it, might incorporate some of my cheap Chinese missile trucks for AT and/or AA defence.
 |
| This little lot pretty much gives me everthing I need in the 20mm range apart from, perhaps, a couple of Saladins. Total cost £15 so still well in target price band. |
 |
| Interesting comparison. Dinky at the top, Corgi at the bottom. Both models are the same width but the Dinky model is longer. So one of them got their measurements wrong! |
Big advantage of these - they all have intact tyres!
 |
| We have sparklies... Chapel Down 'A Touch of Sparkle' - English sparkly, as good/better than champagne these days... |
 |
| Home cooked food. Later today I'll get the suckling pig on... |
