Falklands revisited (2 Viewers)

[BHogan]

My very cramped Falklands display. With the arrival of Scorpion today, I'm all caught up. I either missed Sheffield Miniatures at the London show or they weren't there, so I still need to pick up the rock outcrops and some terrain mats. I'm also thinking of splitting them between two shelves - one with the Paras and armour fighting the Argentines with the other being a "behind the lines" scene.





I really like this series and think it's some of Andy's finest work.

So good for a change, to see someone’s Falkland dio other than mine. Like the background Brendan. I had to resort to two shelves as I have a lot of duplicates, in attempt to bulk up the series. Robin.

You have proper dios, I just have a little display. Your photos were what encouraged me to get on with collecting what I was missing from this series. I hope there is more to come. I'd like to see a 29 Cdo 105mm gun with detachment next.

Very nice looking collection Brendan. Congratulations on the arrival of your new Scorpion.

With you Brendan, a 105 would be marvellous. This series is on a slow burn, so for me it’s difficult to keep motivated. Hoping you will be posting more photos of your setups. I really like the camo uniforms on the British troops and is the main reason I have this collection. Robin.

I really like the use of the historical photo as a backdrop.

Many thanks Brendan for your photos and your appreciative words…always very welcome!
Happy to report that there are several great Falklands figures already being sculpted alongside plans for many more.
I also want to produce the British 105mm Light Gun…Any suggestions where to find a suitable 1:35 kit..?
Adios for now and happy collecting!
Andy.

Hi Andy,

Great to hear a 105mm gun is under consideration. My Regimental 2IC is a former 29 Cdo gunner who transferred to the Canadian Army from the British Army. I can't get enough of his stories regalling regimental lore of service in the Falklands.
