Is that the one with the funky carriage where you can raise or lower the height of the gun like some sort of military transformer?

Is that a bone fide military term - "funky"? 

May I also suggest "bitchin'", "smokin'" and "knot-ear"?

These have arrived safely at Pendraken HQ, so we'll get them into the moulding queue.  Early estimates would be sometime around September I'd think, as we've got so much to get released first.

Thanking you 

What on Earth will I do when they become available?

Hopefully buy some... 

[fsn]

 

Yeah, that's planned. I'm just wondering where my wishes will take me after Korea 1950?

From recent posts, I'm quite taken with a 1941 Russian army - so that would mean T35's. Perhaps a Meerkat army from the Battle of Great Fearfulness.  Then again, I'm still lacking a Byzantine army, and some Myceneans in Dendra army. Oh no! British Napoleonics - they're worth a good whinge.

Not that I don't have enough on my proposed purchase list: Ancients, 1944 Western Front, and I'm still toying with some early WWI and perhaps even some ECW.

So may options, so many Pendraken dreams to make reality.

The way I look at it, fsn, is that if the Good Fairy were to plonk them all down, fully painted and based, in front of you, you would be bored with them within six months. I probably would. So it's just nice to savour the anticipation. And to know there's yet another period around the corner..... 

[fsn]

So true.

Unfortunately for me, I've been reading up about Centurions and all then other conflicts they've been engaged in. Suez '56 is looking good, Golan heights '73 - but then I'd need ....  well you follow me.

Don't appologise its been very entertaininge taking the mickey out of FSN, who by the way has taken it all on the chin.   We will need somethign to carry on with once his lusting for Centurions has been sated

[Steve J]

When he finally does get them, will he go somewhat Pythonesque when firing by saying, "stwike him Centuwion, vewwy woughly!"?
