Charity Auction and Warlord Sherman Completed

Greetings Gentle Reader,

My first charity auction has finished , I will cover the P&P so you raised over £60, so thanks to all involved. The donation will go to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation as planned. Next time I hope to solicit painted figures from some of you talented bloggers out there, and raise even more funds. You have been warned!

Meanwhile I have been putting together Warlord's plastic Sherman Tank, As noted on other blogs it is slightly smaller than its resin predecessor. It is a neat little kit though, and very simple to build. The only fiddly bit was the gun mantlet, but that was my fault as I had it upside down!

The plastic tub holds lead shot to weight the tank down.

I also built Crusader's delightful anti-tank gun for my US Army. I can thoroughly recommend this.

 

Until next time.....

 

Charity Auction Finishing Sunday Night!

Hi All,
Just a quick post for two reasons:

1) To remind you all that the Charity Auction of painted miniatures finishes on Sunday night (22nd) in case you want to put in a last-minute bid (I am selling on ebay as Markham888); and

2) To thank all those who've bid so far. You have all been very generous and your bids will go towards a great cause - The Sophie Lancaster Foundation. Your bids will also qualify for Gift Aid, meaning they will be bumped up by 25% by HM Government (that's them paying the extra, not you)!

Note that if you win more than one auction please pay the invoice as you receive it, and I will refund you the difference in postage the same evening. Good Luck and Thank You!

Until next time.....
