I'm trying to arrange some AM sized terracing up there!

[paul463]

Modellers Loft have some AM stands (£2.50 a pop), would stop them practicing their freefall technique!!

[gung-hoeddie]

That's pretty good I may get some.

Just scooped a 40th MOC Colditz Camp Kommandant for £26!! Bargain these have been going for a bomb lately too.

[paul463]

Here's the camp Kommandant and his mate in the Dragon Island outfit. Also won a Jungle Explorer and Russian Infantry Man too

Nice one, Paul. I had another parcel arrive, that's about 5 or 6 more uniforms.

Getting close to 40 now, just not enough bods. The VAM for down under that Oldbones listed as missing was mine. Dammit.

[paul463]

Mate that sucks!! Postal Services the world over are crap!!

Which uniforms did you get?

[Chopper]

Don't they just. Word of note, keep a copy of your customs declarations when you post overseas. They CAN be tracked.

British Infantry, Red Devil, Officer (x2), Red Beret, MP, Last issue pilot, Explorer, Police Officer, German Stormtrooper (x2), Minesweeper, Grenadier guard (jacket only), Mountaineer, Tank commander (zipper version). Mostly I just got jackets but I've been repairing guns like a crazy gunsmith as well as matching up all these spare trousers I have. So far all of the uniforms have at least matching trousers. Haven't had time this week to keep going thru them, but soon I hope. All vintage too.

I plan to cobble a desert fighter and Aussie jungle fighter soon as well as a pet project, New Zealand WWII soldier in both 12" and 3 3/4" after that. Was going to be a surprise, but its taking a while. Need hats mostly, modified RCMP.

So now I have 4x M&A, 4x SAS Key (plus Para and sabotage), Basic x6, LI Talking Commander, Pilots x3 (all era's), Tank Commander, British Infantry, Red Beret, Space Ranger Commander and trooper, Zargonite trooper, MP, Luftwaffe, DSD (perished uniform), 60's Basic, Commando (need jacket), Ground Assault, Frogman (perished uniform), Us Marine (AT).... off the top of my head. Then there's the MAM.

Most of it is near complete. Only about 4 hauls so far too. Only 5 figures tho. Aussie figures aren't that easy to find.

[paul463]

That's great going Mark. You have some that Iam chasing too! The Space Ranger stuff is on the hit list but it seems a bit expensive just now.

You're right about the figures tho they are the hardest to get and are going for about £20 a go VAM and 40th!

[Chopper]

Easy going thus far too. Just sort of happened upon them, the same can't be said for AF.

I got the Zargonite, SR T in a lot for $9au posted. VAM stuff never seems to surface much here.
