Painting them will be a labour of love. Set up some kind of production line maybe?

You're lucky, I have to drive past them to get to my wife's favourite handbag shop, so we both get to buy loads of stuff!

MiniArt WW2 German civilians, some of whom will receive post-war Dutch citizenship instead, and German jerrycans from Bronco, because I have a Italeri Sahariana whose jerrycans aren’t overly detailed.

All sorts of things: some plastic strip and rod, a sheet of 0.4 mm wire mesh (not that I need it right now, but useful at some point, I’m sure), a spraying can of white primer (or at least, the shopkeeper said this is primer), some more paints, a roll of gold-coloured thread for my LVTP-5, a Nobby Nobbs figure, and some stowage boxes that I intend to use for many of the present contents of one or two of my parts boxes that are too full to find anything in anymore
