Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I AM DECIDED! Sort of.

I think my new project will have to be a 1959 "let's twist history into complete fantasy" type thing.  I fancy a mixed bag of "Brits" (Using Conquerors (which may become a new favourite), Land Rovers (did I see a Saracen somewhere?) and ... CENTURIONS, facing off against the Soviet backed menace (I feel flags flying from turrets) using IS III's T54/55 and BTRs of various hues, with American/French backed government using M48s, AMX13 and something ... (Don't you love a three way?)

I'm sure I can scrag up some infantry from one range or another - French Indo-China for one, may even scare up a few from the Falklands ranges.

Artillery - sure they were still using WWII artillery in 1959 ... and I'm feeling rather non-European. What does Central America look like?  :D :D :D

Gentlemen. I am enthused. I shall have a happy weekend in planning - between painting the 1941 Russians on my table.

I bought some T35's from another manufacturer. I am very, very sorry.  :(

It was either that or I campaigned for a Pendraken T35. I compromised my integrity rather than start "T35 - and you thought the Centurion was bad!"

If someone's doing helicopters can we have Blue Thunder with a bodyguard of (separate) werewolves armoured in chainmail with swords and/or axes and round shields?

Is that a set of metal links around their masculine regions?
