Louis, Affirmative! Brian

Hi Everybody again! Having just up-dated you on the progress of the mobile canteen, the postie called with a package! I had to show you what was in it. Behold the masters for a Lanchester Armoured Car. The turret, body and chassis will be going to V L Resin Castings tomorrow. while the...

Hi Johnny, Officiall quotation received from Dave love this morning and acceptance returned to him by E-mail. Deposit in post and I am now awaiting confirmation that work will commence and time scale to receive masters. Will advise when I receive confirmation. Regards, Brian.

I agree with Johnny, a great looking figure. Brian.

Hi Scott, While I am now a confirmed gloss figure man especially with my own range of figures, this was not always the case. Over the years I have found that model soldiers always attract attention when on display but the uninitiated always give the gloss painted toy soldiers a second or even...

Hi Johnny, Just to bring you up to date Dave Love is working on a quotation for the NAAFI wagon and I hope to be in a position to give him the go-ahead to put it into production shortly. So as they used to say in those old films "Your wish is my command!". Regards, Brian.

I know how you feel Johnny I only wish I had the time to build up a collection of my own figures! The only figures I have ever bought painted were Dave Sparrow's Drill Square figures but that stopped when he sold the range to MKL and the standard dropped dramatically. These days I don't get much...

No problem Johnny, although I think you'l find that the figures may cost more from Asset as castings than they do from Yeomanry Miniatures as painted figures. I'm just selling off these items on behalf of Mountford Metal Miniatures. Once they're gone they're gone, there will not be a chance to...

Hi again, Forgot to mention, I also have anumber of the low relief buildings available if you are interested. Brian.

Hi Johnny, Although Alan sculpted the figures for Dave Love they are about a head taller than his normal size. The set comprises a girl leaning on the counter, from the inside, in a dress and apron. An Auxillary Fire Serviceman leaning on the counter in his double breasted tunic and boots...

Hi Johnny, Amongst the items Dave let me have I have several sets of the figures that went with the Humber Canteen, They are painted but that doesn't matter! Want to make me an offer? Remember though the figures are slightly larger than 54mm. Regards, Brian.

Hi Buster, I like the picture of the Fordson and although in black and white there seems to be a hint of camoflage there. Anyway I must admit that I am, personally drawn to the Austin K2 only because it could lead to the ambulance version, sort of "Ice Cold in Alex". We'll see what transpires...

Hi Johnny, Having done some futher research I have discovered that during WW2 mobile Canteens were used by the YMCA, The Salvation Army, The Church Army and the NAFFI. In UK the YMCA's vans were generally Khaki, the Salvation Army's khaki or dark blue and the NAAFI's khaki or grey or even a...

Hi Johnny, Yes I agree that Jethro is a funny guy but I went to see "Jethro Tull" rocking since 1968. Ian Anderson on flute, Martin Barre on lead guitar, Doane Perry on drums etc. and yes they were great. The model you posted I believe is the Accurate Armour's model which comes it at nearl...

Hi Johnny, Well done it appears you've got your wish. I'm afraid I took a little holiday today and went to London to see "Jethro Tull" in concert and before retiring for the night , or should I say the morning I thought I would check the thread to see how things were progressing. I am now...

I have been doing a bit of research into these NAAFI mobile canteens, just so that if the demand is there I can start fairly quickly, and so far it appears that these vehicles were painted either khaki Green or grey. I haven't found any information as yet on the middle east but I feel they would...

Hi John, It is an interesting idea. To make it commercially viable I would need guaranteed sales of at least six vehicles. My late Father spent the major part of WW2 working for the NAAFI. He spent a few fun filled weeks at a delightful spot in Norway (Narvik) dodging bombs and bullets...

Hi Artillery Crazy, The masters have to be made first and with the best will in the world it takes time. Graham only agreed to make masters for Yeomanry Miniatures last month and when he made his last "BIG GUN" for TAW he was working on the masters for nearly six months before he was ready to...

Hi hsm, I believe that this is the old model of "Young Winston" by Phoenix or a re-cast. I used to have one in my collection but it's long gone now. I don't know who currently owns the Phoenix range now but I haven't seen this figure for years. Regards, Yeoman.

Hello All, Having now posted the pictures of the two versions of the Crossley Lorry I thought you might like to see the figure vsets to go with them. Picture 1) These are the six seated Tommies for the back of the open version of the Lorry. Picture 2) The Lorry with the figures in the...
