A number of completed projects joined the collection on Sunday. First up is my rendition of a German-made toy gunboat. I'm thinking of adding a brass railing to the model at a later date. Wasn't too excited by the original guns so constructed some based on other toys. The original is described as a torpedo boat.
Partly inspired by, photo reduced and severely altered to respect copyright.
One of the recently acquired Bren Gun Carriers has been revamped. It has also received a crew of three. These were badly oxidised 1960s figures, but still having value in a seated role. They represent the 28th New Zealand Battalion. Ethnic Maori warriors, they gained a reputation befitting their heritage. They served in the Desert War, Crete, and Italy.
Legs restored.
Finally, have repaired this 'probable' Simon et Rivollett cannon. The carriage trail has been restored and appropriate wheels issued. I will use it as an all-metal garrison gun in the Schleswig Wars.
