Gentlemen and young Tom,
Many thanks to Cruelios, Rob, Konrad, Liez,Brad, Louis, Wayne PA, Al and Markey for your kind comments. The new rooms with ten showcases is still under some renovations as with hospitization I have not been able to finish, hence so many troops still in trays ready to placed. These showcases were move earlier this year from my good lady wifes living room (divorce was pending^&grin) just prior to my accident and work has been slow to completion. Answers to other kind comments.
Wayne (Brissy) -- Donnybrook Queensland has no pubs. A move totally out of the question.
Wayne (Perth) -- Donnybrook Western Australia has three pubs. Very interesting.^&grin
Simmo -- The Matilda (apart from the Centurion) is my most loved Tank. Would love another couple.
Brett -- Beersheeba troops (hidden from Tom) massing for a large dio when fully fit.
Mitch -- LAH, K&C produce them so I collect one of each and thats where it ends.
Rich -- My door is always open, cobber. The hospitality shown to me on my trips to the US has been second to none.
CNQ --I have enjoyed spending a few cents to indulge in something I love, but it takes two jobs to do it
Micheal -- JJD collection (complete) K&C matte collection 94% commplete (chasing early SOHK and Dickens sets) I collect only those Britains and Figarti sets that catch my eye as great. I even have some First legion^&grin Their Crusader Castle is outstanding.
Raymond -- My favourites ranges are all in the Desert (No bloody snow Tom) Lighthorse, Eighth Army, Afrika Corp and Crusaders, therefore many multiples.
Obee mate -- Your repaints especially in the AK range are some of my prized sets. Many thanks.
Robin -- Your always welcome cobber. Maybe another K&C Dinner in July 2013 and a tour. Earlier if it suits your plans.
Once again, thank you all and now I know why Tom was missing so much when he stayed over.
A Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Years to all at Treefrog.
Cheers from the Land Downunder, Howard
