will make comment if other, or might Just make comment So there (!)

Above and Below show some Skytrex are smaller and some bigger

The Most of (all) kneeling Skytrex with a few Platoon 20 on Phot left..

Interspersed with Platoon 20 to show Compatability

And again Some Are Giants some are smaller one of the Bigger Skytrex figures with one of the biggest Platoon 20 figures

They can be Big, But then sick of this evertning is the same size ie 1/35 figures...

the croching troops However blend in wait to do all these in a good paint Job

And then we have some Skytrex that seem a lot smaller...

October and Back books

More books Some Just in Last Days other from the last few months....

So a few in the Book case Great Fighting Planes from 1985 Just had some Great Artwork $5 and My continuing Osprey off shoot Great Battles Of World War II up to 39 (5 Missing will write to the Subscription offer)

And Some old Time Life books Leather Bound with letters from 1982 from Editor & Subscription
There were more But for 10 for $20 bucks, Just could Back them Home, and the next day all the others Gone as there were some Age of Sails Books.... (pity)

Just a look inside mostly good Essay type Chapters and some Good Famous Prints and Phots
and good Artwork within all (the Carriers at War is really Good), But R.A.F at War book...

   And again Some of the Exceptional titles,  With again good Information within as Long as it isn't so dated
as in Future Aircraft Design, But a good insight to thoughts from the Cold War era......
  Catapults is a good Diagram

Looks like i have made a decision to back to Napoleonics well i have a few Hundred Plastics but back to my interest in the Napoleonic 

Hard to Find But a 1983 in Pretty more than average condition, had the Aircraft version But seems they lost it will try again for a Cheap good Condition idea book,

 Covers most vechiles, But some good Artwofk should maybe have done the pages on D-Day funnies
It only cost under $15 with postage ex ABE books..

 Just a General look at pages......

 So one of My shelves/or work Bench that has been taken over........

DML 1/6 SAS in progress

So decided as i had a spray can of Gloss Black and the Trains go past at 60 klicks so can't spray them,
That Just do the Under side, as should come up well with Metal and weathering and basically won't be seen

And the Engine Bay gets A work over as well, But only Battery pack and radiator will be in there
Shame as a Good Kit (cept the Huge Gap in the Instructions usual DML) lot of Guess work But being a seasoned Veteran of Plastic kits etc

How many to remove as she will be in the Western Desert circa 1942.....(?) But also to look different
Have a good picture of a Damaged Hood (Bonnet) So will try that.......

 

And work on Undercoating seats and an effect try on the Radiator will be doing in black But something of an Experiment of Tones (Toning)

1/300 2nd Batch of Ski Troops

              A second lot of Ski troops as Generic, Modern back to World War Two!
