Nicely done, Phil 

Once those field guns are done, I'm in...like a big dog   

And then it gets really cool

Leon - the mortar you have is a very early version, it was gone by 44. 2" for the Falklands is a piece of green drain pipe with a white line painted on it, and a spade with trigger and firing pin. You do have to hold it, gets a bit warm. It only has Smoke by 82, whilst I was in LUOTC we blew the last of the HE ammo up. Were going to fire but in 5m visibility the RSM thought it would be a bit unsafe.

Wouldn't the mortar fall over then as he's not holding it?

Hi N.
As Leon's put above, the base plate would 'hold it steady'.
The thing that gives it the impression of being unbalanced, is having to compromise on the actual width of the 'tube', which for casting purposes is about as thin as I dare go.
As I've mentioned before, at this size we have to compromise with 'scale' for an awful lot of things.
Hope that helps !

Ah....Interesting...Now Ian's popped that in, if you want to bung that chap back down Leon, I can soon tweak it !!

Any news on these Leon?

There's a few of the Falkland's masters in the same mould as some of the Mongols, so I'm collecting those while I'm spinning off for the Mongol production moulds.  Should be early next year for release, Jan or Feb time.

Are you not worried about cross contamination?

No....The heat with destroy any 'bugs' on the Mongols, which they got when I bled over some of them.
Remember children...Make all cuts away from yourself.
Unless you're me, and stupid enough to not follow your own rules.

I'm wondering whether this will make certain of the Mongols almost invincible..
Cheers - Phil.

Was your prowess as a wargamer that great?

They don't call me Lucky Dice Lewis for nothing.....
In fact they don't call me that at all.
Cheers - Phil.

Hi Chaps,

Anyone have an update on when the 'Falklands' extras will be available - looking to get my project back on track which stalled waiting for these shiny extra goodies to come out!

We're picking up the AA guns and crews at Salute this weekend, so we can get started on those when we get back hopefully, in amongst the WWI / Anc Spanish / LoA releases...!   

Yes please! Just take my money!
