Tim,
I have really enjoyed reading all the blog entries about this recent mega-Megablitz battle ... and really regret not being able to be there!
All the best,
Bob
Ohh, tempting and Phil almost looks "normal"
Bob Cordery
Glad you're enjoying them Bob - still more to come!
Fire at Will
Normal? Phil? Are we looking at the same photo?
"Sadly they were unable to fit this rather overscale T34 into the games room... "
.. but taking Tom as a benchmark, did any of the rather overscale wargamers have trouble fitting into the T-34?
Regards, Chris

Speaking as an overscale wargamer myself - I think the T-34 may have been a poor casting....
Boy this thing just gets better and better
I almost had a stroke when I saw the extremely rare and expensive Airfix Zil conversion.
The eye candy factor is a 10+!

I am pleased to bring pleasure and enlightenment to your life.

Calm down! The ZILs were already assembled when I acquired them - I simply did the conversion work.
