Too Fat Lardies

Hot on the tails of the British M5 is my first attempt at German Armour. This Hanomag will soon be seeing action against the Red Devils..... Should be interesting to see how Man U cope with it. What do we think - a diamond midfield, or perhaps two wing-backs sweeping in front of the centre-halves? ...

Of course, the cause of US aviation wasn't helped when those nutters at Salem executed the pioneers of manned/womanned flight and burnt their infernal machines/broomsticks....

When I read the title, I was expecting the thread to be about......[shudder]......Morris Dancing!!!!!

(Thank you for not going there!)

The only suitable ones I've seen in 28mm are from Victory Force Miniatures , but postage costs from the US to Europe are nuts. I'm not paying more for the passengers than I did for the vehicle! Not wowed by the quality, either - they look like they've just heard that the concert party from "It ain'...
