Just recording some recent additions. First up is this rather nice rowboat. Picked it up in a charity shop for £2.50. Well made, the scale works well as an early naval landing (whale) boat. I like this a lot.
Next up were four figures. Now I really only wanted the two Timpo plastic WW2 Americans, the MP increases their number to eight, and I needed the GI officer with pistol for my collection. OK, a bit expensive at £4.20, postage is to blame.
Picked up another damaged tractor. Have completed most of the repair work. When painted and varnished it will be attached to my WW2 Soviet artillery. Sorting out the tracks might prove tricky but at only £2, I will take the gamble and it's a fun project. This second tractor came without its shovel, which is convenient.
Finally, a nice little Corgi jeep. it looks pretty good in scale for 50mm figures. Pleased it still has its steering wheel and spare tyre. Cost was £2.
The little boat is lovely and well worth £2.50!
ReplyDeleteDitto, superb boat. Interesting how a quick grey spray of paint as undercoat reveals the military potential of toys like the tractor.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds as usual Michael! You have a great eye for bargains and potential! The boat is perfect for a landing craft and the tractor will look right and home with your Soviet troops! Very well done!
