A bridge too far...

[Thundershot]

Hi all,
What with all this V.A.M. stuff being posted recently & it being such miserable weather outside, I dug this beast out of the loft for a bit of a play...

D.I.Y. years before Ikea opened a shop in the U.K.

All built up, this beast is 48 inches long when fully constructed.

Jeep crossing, what's the weight limit again?

Sorry for the poor focus, originally purchased @ a car-boot sale,I've had this since childhood & like all good self assembly flat pack furniture, it's missing one piece...the toys aren't the only 70's vintage stuff here...so are the carpets & sofa, they really made stuff to last back in the day

Thanks for looking, hope it's of interest

oh very nice ! never saw one of those before

so whats missing ?

[Thundershot]

Thanks Andy, it should have another (4th) post for the barrier to be able close on @ the t'other end properly, dispite posing an Action man sized security risk, it's not a massive problem display wise.

Great set Eddie, I had something similar as a child, brings back some memories.

Cool bridge.

The sofa isn't vintage, it's just old, but don't tell your nana....

Ooh, please could we see a Z Force battletank crossing the bridge? Would the scale work?

That's great, Ed. Love it.

sweet!

didn't know there was bridge available like that, is that an original AM jeep?

can't afford it now but i realy do want one of those jeeps, are they pricey?

[Thundershot]

Thanks Squaddie,
The bridge was made by Cherilea, more famous for producing the German motorcycle & sidecar amungst many other Action man sized vehicles...the jeep wasn't too expensive around the £50 mark all in all, one of them rare occasions that I had a bit of spare cash to invest in something less than sensible.

i remember my mate had the German motorcycle & sidecar aswell as a tank, jeep and im sure there was something like the Action Force ATC but i could be wrong
