What happened next??! 

[Luddite]

Oh no!!   

[nikharwood]

This:






Our new puppy decided that he liked the taste of Pendraken...buggrit!

The T26s are probably rescue-able, but the infantry's had it. Naughty puppy.

And not for the usual reasons!

Nik - hope they are salavgeable!

Lab's can be a tad destructive - got to keep em occupied.

Lovley dogs though.

Yep - he's a Lab / Springer cross that was rescued [maybe from a 15mm-er   ]

He gets lots of exercise & play: we [him, me & the & 7 yr-old German Shepherd] were on Dunster Beach at 6am...lovely. And he'll come to do the horses later.

Just before he decided to eat the Motherland's finest, he had been lying quietly on the kitchen floor with the GS. I went out to the garage to get paint...back about 60 seconds later...sneaky monkey

Not bad,
Does this elapsed time include the time to extract T26 from the dog's gums?

How are the poses for the Russian winter rifleman? Looking at the photos on the PD site, the one standing and firing looks wrong - he's holding his rifle in an odd fashion...

Other than that, nice work once again. (and are you sure there's no German Shepherd in your pup's ancestry? )

Decals applied & 'Magic' wash everything:

I think you're talking about this one - does look a bit odd - his left hand is at the end of the barrel, but paints up OK:

Lab - Springer cross - lab with no comon sense - Arghh !!! 

No doubt much fun though. Looks to be fully recovered now though.

Too right...mad as a box of frogs.
