Very happy to see my city of Brisbane has gained the nod for 2032. I'm half thinking I will become a volunteer and help out in some way. It's sad that the Tokyo events will not have spectators. It's a shame for the athletes too. The main business though is TV - there'll be a lot of locked-down...

I started my battle with the Britains range. I've since added quite a few JJ. They work alright together. Your set up looks great!

After deciding to pass on Last Kingdom, I've now tried Lucifer. Yes, it is an interesting idea and it rises or falls on how the actor portrays the titular character. Based on the first two episodes, he's doing a good job. He has some clever lines and is suitably debonair - a touch swarmy but...

I'd have thought great effort would've gone to recovering the bodies at the time? But I guess if they had been recovered, they'd be buried in the local cemetery.

Brisbane has been back in lockdown again of late, so I turned to Netflix and started this series. I'm really fascinated by the times and impressed with what Alfred achieved. I know the history but am not too upset by modest fictional twists. My biggest problem with the series is the annoying...

I've ordered mine from Hobby Bunker. I got a set of each colour. I'm looking forward to comparing them with the TSSD and Exped figures. Just waiting for them to ship to Australia.... Anyone got theirs yet? What'd you think?

"The columns with the fascist fasces were erected by the fascists, whose symbol was precisely the bundle of ancient Roman inspiration. The number 18 refers to the year of the laying of the column: the eighteenth year of the fascist era that began with the coup d'état Mussolini did in 1922...

Thanks Brett! And now I can post photos I'm looking forward to when I can put up Conte Romans!

Now to make sure that wasn't a fluke - Normandy 2020! I had a sort of Falaise in the foreground.

I got some coaching, now I'm trying again. This is Alamein.

So they're largely based on the metal opponents done for his Winter Romans. Most of these will work for me. I'm keen to see what they look like alongside the TSSD barbarians.

I've seen examples on eBay with plastic wrap like these. The Mexican has clearly been in his for a long time. Interesting that the plastic hasn't preserved the plastic enough and his legs have broken.

The enemy is apparently also sculpted and ready for mold making. These will be Germanic Barbarians. He writes on Facebook - 'no, the first opponents our Legions will face are the warlike tribes of Germania Tacitus described their clothing “also wear the skins of wild beasts; the tribes on the...

I like those - their weapons seem a bit more robust.

Oh yes, there's no way I'm spending anything like that! I'll keep an eye out for the monogram version too. Thanks!

I'm intrigued by this Snap Tite US halftrack. It can be seen (well the box for it at least) here - https://www.ebay.com/c/1808044499 Does anyone have one? What is its actual scale?

Yes, we saw it too last year and loved it. I think a sequel was alluded to?

I think I shall get a couple of these. I read at CTS 'Originally made in the 1960's these are made from the original molds with a revised hitch.' So this means the tow bar/device? Which cannon has this been designed for?

He says on Facebook today that these Romans should be available in May. I can't wait for them but I suspect these might be the extent of this range. I just doubt he'll sell enough of Set 1 to justify Set 2. I don't think he has the distributors to move enough. Anyway, if they DO well, I think...

I see them now - thanks!
