Martyn, as always I really enjoy your post and pics of your collection and especially this Boer War series.

But I just have to ask...where is Billy Boar? ^&confuse

Now I know what they mean when I read that the Boers just melted away into the veld. :tongue:

All the LL figures fit in perfectly......I will have to have a word with Mike about a LL version :wink2:

Cheers

Martyn, your LL Boer War NB figures look great with the Trophy Tractor ..... I'll have start clearing off a shelf for LL BW figures if you're going to work on Mike to make a tractor, you might as well ask him for a 4.7 inch gun too while you have his attention. :wink2:^&grin

Some things are timeless in Armies. Even though this is a steam tractor - it reminded me vividly of some of our practices - when I was in a more modern Army. At one time, I had a job charging large 12Volt batteries - used for powering radio sets. These batteries required charging over every 12 hours or so - and then re-charging, once they became discharged. We used a Coventry Climax V8 engined, petrol driven generator for the job - which ran continuously for weeks at a time (until it required servicing and oil changes etc.). Rather like the Steam Tractor, this generated a lot of heat. The exhaust pipe and manifold was the ideal place to "brew up" on - usually in shallow flat dixies - or even mess tins. We would brew up at all hours - for tea, cocoa - or even for improvised showers and shaves. A shower was a 7lb Jam Tin - with a few holes punched in the base with a nail - and suspended from a convenient tree!!

These guys seem more interested in a hot cuppa, however.:salute:: Very nice M. :D jb
