Apparently the guy on the left is wearing the “new” 1980 uniform....hardly Daguerreotype, perhaps Ambrotype? I wonder what idiot thought ties were a good idea for front line officers though.....

Modern uniforms use a clip on tie, we used to have them when I was driving a bus before the introduction of "bandit screens".

Bet they formed a committee for that.
Those ties were clip on's, made them look smart and tidy yet safe from being grabbed.

Probably the same idiot who thought ties were appropriate with combat suits in the 60's and 70's - four layers of material for nuclear flash protection; shirt, hairy, KF, ridiculous , - and a brown knitted 'Slim Jim' tie. By 'eck we looked sexy! Thank Heavens for Denison Smocks!

On the TAKOM Facebook page, 'new items coming soon'

Like the Sea Dart & Sea Wolf launchers. And what must be a first - an anchor in 1/16!

I'll certainly be interested in the sea wolf and sea dart set... typical ex matelot!

From MiniArt 'new kit (??) coming soon'

I wondered about the anchor, but at least Takom has got more creativity than that!

[Guest]

The anchor is clearly aimed at the Japanese market, which will probably eat it up: the picture says “Battleship Yamato”.

On the Meng Facebook page - a 1/9 resin figure to go with their BMW motorbike..................


On the Copper State Models Facebook page - their new project due September..........................

I reckon the rigging on that would be the modelling equivalent of the Rubiks' cube - definitely not for the faint hearted!
