Hi

Yes, I especially like the Japanese 'Tubas'. Here is a set done in 20mm by EWM (late Tom's Tins) in their early war range, just right to fit in with VBCW or Sealion -

The large photo is here - http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww246/Wingate_photo/figurecomppics007.jpg (http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww246/Wingate_photo/figurecomppics007.jpg).

Actually the lewis gun AA crew would be handy  :D, now where's that link to the Request thread.....

Cheers

A good excuse for a lemon top.  Could we have a Pendraken fact finding trip?   :D

The one down in Boulby looks pretty impressive as well, deceivingly large.

It looks to be about 15 feet high which is quite big.  It's also on the way to Whitby.  Fancy a fish and chip run?
