First up, Wonderland Models were selling this Leopard 1 and Bridgelaying tank by Revell for £13 - virtually half of what it is on sale for elsewhere, so I got two. The Leopards will be for the Norwegians and having two bridgelaying tanks means I can model one carrying the bridge and then have a deployed bridge as well. I just have to build the buggers now - why do the instructions say 'contains separate track links' as if that is a good thing!?
Next are a couple of diecast T-80 tanks from Jumblies Models. These were on sale for only £4.95 each so I grabbed the last two in stock. They are very similar to the EasyModel version (of which I have three) but are much weightier and have a few extra bits of detailing around the turret. These will obviously be for the invading Soviets.
Finally, my copy of 'The Miniature Adventures of Dunsterforce' arrived today from Caliver Books. This was only ordered yesterday morning, so Caliver get 10/10 for service and prompt dispatch of order! They are an absolute pleasure to do business with. The book itself is a lovely product - a glossy, 160 page A4 paperback, chock full of Back of Beyond goodness, all backed up with beautiful photos of the author's own figures. Although the 16 scenarios are written for the 'Setting The East Ablaze' ruleset, it would be very easy to use with other rules such as Contemptible Little Armies. If you are at all interested in the Back of Beyond, you have to get this book.
