I had the same thought as soon as I saw the render.
Reminds me of the 'cotton-reel tanks' that we made as kids, with a matchstick, cotton reel and elastic band :thinking:
Been a LONG, LONG time since I've heard of them Gerry. I suspect modern kids won't be as impressed with them as we were 'cos there's nowhere to put the batteries!
They’ll find it pretty difficult to find a cotton reel as well Dave.....
Oh yes! - my father used to make us a supertank! Panel pins hammered in around the rims, and a candle to lubricate the driving arms - when did wooden cotton reels vanish?

From ICM renders of their forthcoming 1/16 British Bobby..............

Does that have a particular era it’s supposed to represent?
What's that? I don't recognise that uniform - is it some foreign army - certainly nothing UK based that's for sure! (An attempt at irony!)
Oh, I don’t know Steve...
left hand one looks quite similar....

Ah, but that's a daguerreotype from some long-forgotten era!
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.....
Don’t know about that either Gerry....But even the Met don't have 'ER' on the badge - plus missing a button
They’ve taken a right Liberty missing off a whole button though.....
Blinking amazing...! Great film, but how much...?!?!I see your Pz.Kpfw IV and raise you something complete bloody different... check this out!

Quentin Tarantino would be proud :thinking::smiling5:

Maybe not...
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!
