Nice…..more cheese Grommet……..two cheese and other food combinations you might not have come across Richard…..Pears and a hard cheese like cheddar, and fruit cake and Wensleydale…..both superb! Give ‘em a whirl……
 
Granny Smiths & Farmhouse Cheddar on fresh granary bread ( with butter )- all washed down with a pint of a 'winter warmer' a lunch to be savoured - I used to visit a spring company in West Brom - timed so we would go for lunch at their local brewpub. Certainly made the highpoint of a boring day!

Fruitcake with Wensleydale or nice cheddar is Fandabbydozy Tim.

Frm MiniArt - 'new kit coming son'

Was cheese ever sold this way? I recall open market stalls in the 60's selling cheese, but nothing like this! One important thing missing - a set of weighing scales = those were a feature of Roman 'shops', so a set of scales would be present. An elegantly dressed woman, with high heels & a pearl necklace - usual attire for food shopping?. Some of the latest MiniArt sets are a little off-beam to me! :confused:

She needs to clean her nails, and those hands belong to a navvy...
 
I remember my mother & her sister when out & about wouldn't be caught dead w/o gloves & a string of pearls.& those heels are not that high. Appropriate middle class day wear in the 40s into early 50s.

Well I guess her jogging suit was in the wash that day Dave. People those days, (I am assuming WWII ish times) the well to do did get dressed up to go shopping. Or at least made the effort. Men even wore suits and not just while at work. A set of scales will probably turn up in some forthcoming "accessories" set.
I don't believe the cheese seller would be wearing, never mind be able to afford, those high heels.
Have you seen the price of cheese lol.
Its not like they are stilettoes Neil. A smart pair of pumps for market, again people did dress with a touch more finnesse those days.
Try cutting those cheeses with a wire and it will break. A heavy curved blade as Jakko posted would be more the norm in continental Europe.

The FD 2 was the first aircraft to exceed 1000 mph in level flight - a really graceful aircraft - until it lowered its' nose for take off & landing..............

If the CSM new offerings are up to their usual standard then I can see my stash of WW1 vehicles increasing....

On their Facebook page, CSM regularly ask their followers for any contemporary photos for reference & they are pretty interactive. One thing I do have a doubt about - Armoured Car? - surely Armoured Lorry! :thinking:
