A Nice Easter Bargain!

This could be my shortest post - ever!

Just off into Auckland to pick up this nice win on our local online auction site:



Also, I discovered the Wellington based Pot Belly Miniatures 3d printing is still operating, so a small order went off to them, too


Happy Easter to all my readers!

    1. Thanks Peter - yes, indeed - although I must not let it distract me from clearing out the bulk of the back log - Frech Hussars in work at present and planned thereafter are three boxes of plastic WSS - two of cavalry and one of infantry - enough for two more regiments of GNW Russians and twelve squadrons of horse.....

  7. And a belated Happy Easter to you and yours Keith:)! Mind you, given the time of the year, it does feel more like an early Xmas treat;). And talking of treats, I see Wargames Atlantic have released a box of French WWII female partisans, which I immediately thought would be of interest to you...

  8. When too many tanks is barely enough! Keith, have you been channeling Stalin? A great addition to the Soviet 1st Auckland Tank Army! 😂

  10. Your WWII Soviet force must be massive by now Keith. They look like they will be good additions.

    1. Hi Lawrence....you know how it is when you get enthusiastic about a period ... I must have around 20 28mm tanks now... I doubt they will all ever hit the table in one game, but you need options...i cant use late war tanks for Barbarossa or Stalingrad...but I don't want to take on Panthers and Tigers with early was T34's! The madness continues....
