    New Releases for June 2024 - The Ancients

    EURYPYLUS - PRINCE OF MYSIA Euryplyus was the son of Telephus, King of Mysia. He was a great warrior, who led a Mysian contingent that fought alongside the Trojans against the Greeks in the Trojan War. In a prelude to the Trojan War, the Greeks attacked Mysia, mistaking it for Troy...

    The new 80th Anniversary Shermans are historically WRONG!

    I agree with the sentiment, but it does not mean those on the forum are more informed. Those not on the forum, as collectors, can be experts or have some level of knowledge on military vehicles etc, but just not be on the forum or indeed the internet. They can have the same issues with the...

    The new 80th Anniversary Shermans are historically WRONG!

    Great looking tank, but that is a early version, see below for information on the different gun mantles/mounts, using that model gun mantle/mount was stopped in 1942 and a new version was used, not going to put in all the numbers etc as they are in the info below. Sherman gun mounts for main...

    The new 80th Anniversary Shermans are historically WRONG!

    Agree with above, i put my thoughts on the forum about the gun mantle in the original post, i also asked if the tank was all metal, as i thought there had been a reuse of the turret from the Sherman DD093, which has the old mantle and is also not the correct mantle, but possibly the casting was...

    Band of Brothers

    Great series, i went old school and bought the DVDs, same with the Sharpe and Hornblower series. Other ones i bought were Justified and Hatfield & McCoy [which is a great under rated series]. One off payments and there are many extras on the DVDs. Do not tend to watch much TV, tends to be full...

    Saw this and the person who made and painted these figures has a real incredible talent, a true artist.

    All New, All-Metal M4 Sherman

    OK, but just thinking how hard it is to cast a metal turret and needed confirmation and as you 'know and are certain it is all metal', that answers my question, thanks for the answer.

    All New, All-Metal M4 Sherman

    Is the turret metal? That an excellent piece of work if the turret is all metal as well.

    Thought it was, but not sure, done it myself too many times to count [will not get that word wrong]. I think it would be very popular, loads manufactured, saw action every where and i remember reading somewhere it was the most or one of the more captured vehicles in thee inventory at the end of...

    What is a 'desperate'? I was thinking possibly a Wespe, same vehicle base and a great artillery piece.

    What happened to the plans for dioramas?

    Hello Those are the excellent TM Terrain board made by David, I do not think there were any plans by TGM to make them? I went to see the Dispersal areas on a visit to RAF Kenley and have often though about trying create them for my K & C and TGM sircraft, see below

    Things that I really like

    Agree - but being one of the richest women in the world probably helps as well. I read the books and Harry Potter was not that good a wizard, he could not get a spell right to fix his eyesight.

    Things that annoy me

    Just give them the email address of someone you do not like, as they generally let you in as soon as they have a reconisable email address. Fox News - full of ******* anyway, for a start whenever i have seen it there has never been any news on there about Foxes. They have a morning news...

    Things that annoy me

    Car Insurance has gone up this year from £268 to £454, same company [been with 4 years and have full no claims over 10 years], same car, same house, nothing changed. Was told it is inflation, more accidents in the last year generally, parts are more expensive. That annoyed me, but shopped...
