Thank you gentlemen. Dzohn, the jeep fills out an infantry Hvy Wpns Co., The 1 1/2 (one is short some pcs) short wheelbase 2 1/2tonners are to fill out an infantry regiment Cannon Co. section. The M54 5tonner will be a basis for a semi-scratch 6ton wrecker & the Corbit is just because you can't have too many.

Corbit?.......I can't find any! Some people have all the luck.

Well,
These were delivered by our lovely Postie today,from the great folks at the The Tank Museum,(Bovington UK,that is),was meant to be my Christmas present from Rach,but as a "Thank you" to me,i was allowed to have it early ,( She was Diagnosed with Covid last Thursday:fearful:,so self isolated ever since.Hence,time off i`ve had to take and be her Butler!!.... up and down them damned stairs so many times a day is certainly keeping me fit!!..... Good job she`s worth it mind:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:
Anyway,here`s what i got........
Sorry,i`ll try again in a mo,but i shrunk the pic down and was told it was 1.9..... LESS than the 2.0 i was sure i read! I`ll try once more,if that doesn`t work then i`ll give up!!:angry:
Andy

 

[The Smythe Meister]

.... yep,tried several times,still says "OOPS too large".... hmmmm,
..........I think not as it`s DEFINATELY 1.9 meg!
Bored with it now..... i may well try again in the future..... but must admit it`s worn my patience out for a while!!:confounded:
Andy
....EDIT..... it seems i have to reduce it twice?!....anyway,brace yourselves.......

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Bless her!! Apparently ,the reason for the slippers was.......
.... "Well,.....you`ll never grow up will you"........:flushed:
and the reason for the book,(Which i`m sure many of you will be familiar with),was pretty much the same comment..... although it was accompanied by a swear word regarding the amount of books i read and films i watch!...... Have to say though..... Guilty as charged!!:surprised:
Andy

 

[Dave Ward]

All the way from China ( Aliexpress )

NOT a common model.............

Hi Andy
Photos sorted. :thumb2: Those slippers will keep the old tootsies nice and warm. When you go to bed now they will not give Rach a nasty shock when you slide in under the duvet :smiling:

Brought this one today does come with a little story early in the year I saw this at my local recycling centre shop they wanted £80 for it no takers so it's been on ebay for £70 since then so I put in a cheeky offer for £50 and it's now mine

 

[The Smythe Meister]

I think it`s about time i cracked on a bit with building the blimmin` things!! :flushed:.....
..... I`m PRETTY SURE that`s what you`re supposed to do with `em when you you open the box???!!!:rolling::thinking::fearful:........
