Info please
I've recently come into possession of these with a promise of more to come in various sizes; they're slightly magnetised and already proving very useful in conjunction with set squares etc. I'm intrigued as to whether I can find a definitive answer as to their original purpose!

Pete's wheeled cargo movers GB. Aug - Dec 2023. Chat thread.
Reference my last here are the sprue shots - lots of fine detail including crates and furniture items (!). Seriously hoping I will finish this build on time - should do as the garden makeover is 99% complete! Comprehensive decal sheet but, surprisingly, no instrument decals! Steve- Airborne01

'A Gentleman in Khaki' - Boer War Soldier
Well, not good news for Jake as he's going to reside on the Shelf of Doom for a while; had started a little more basic painting since our return from Ireland and decided to turn my attention to the rifle - created a trigger but then the trigger guard disappeared; so, swore a little and turned...- Airborne01

(Yuk!) I think this is the most impermeable clay sub-base possible so l now have to...- Airborne01

Update: spent some time cleaning up (minimal) mould lines, undercutting areas such as pocket flaps, jacket front overlaps etc. Primer on main part of figure - rifle and hands to follow later as the rifle is slightly warped, bayonet needs attention, and the fragile sling is beyond redemption and...- Airborne01

They don't build them like this anymore! Over the edge of the Kyrenia Pass, a few rolls and then upside down in an Olive Grove. REME recovered it and drove it back to barracks! Might make a cracking diorama! Steve- Airborne01
