Israeli Armoured Brigade for Little Cold Wars

I took these rather rushed photos of my LCW Israeli armoured bde as I was assembling it for last summer’s Gnuston Heights game. As always, please let me know if you’d like more details or better photos of anything.

Centurion tanks - mostly Dinky diecasts. M-48s to the left.

The whole ghastly mess. But then it was assembled pretty much from scratch in two months. From left: SP  Artillery btl, SRL btl, Reserve Tank btl (M-48 & M-51), two tank btls (Centurions), Engineers, Mech btl, AA, HQ, recce.

I have a real soft spot for tatty halftracks in Israeli colours. These are Solido diecasts.

M-51 Ishermans under construction (and bodging). These started off as Hobbyboss 1/48 M4A3E8 kits.

And with that, I will sign off for 2018!  Plenty more of this nonsense still to come in 2019.

Basically better Buccaneer - part 2

I’ve now finished the Bucc (see initial build here) and it will see service alongside the recently completed Canberra.
Here it is in ‘flight’ over the South Yorkshire veldt.

Calamitously crappy Commie Canberra complete at Christmas

Remember the ghastly ex-Frog Canberra?  Here it is in flight, so to speak and wearing South African colours. Given its unpromising beginnings it seems to have turned out OK.

Meanwhile, in a maternity hospital somewhere in England...

A friend of a friend is a midwife. This was on the status board when she went to work the other day...
