I have been avoiding eBay recently in order to save money. I however went on recently and got these ww1 figures for the bargain price of £7.50 including postage-
When I opened the packaging I was most intrigued by the gun, I had no idea what on earth it was. A little searching and I discovered it was a very early German anti tank gun.
Here is some info about it- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.7_cm_TAK_1918
So all in all money well spent, some figures full of character purchased and some French to deploy…
Win win in my book!
P.S what does one say about England in the Cricket World Cup?
Here are the Germans with a first coat of paint-
Nice ebay win, cracking collection of figures for a very good price! As for England, I was following the Sri Lanka game at work yesterday on the BBC updates, bit of a shambles all round, a very poor defence from the champions, India on Sunday to make matters worse!!
ReplyDeleteA bit of a shambles indeed, said he writing after Sunday!

Some interesting animated characters there to add to the ranks -
ReplyDeleteand a new (to me) artillery piece to add to your Forces. It makes being in the cramped confined space of a noisy clanky fume-filled, hot open engined WW1 tank with ‘splash’ of metal fragments each time a shell or bullet hit even less attractive. Tough and Brave Men, those early Tankies. Mark Man Of TIN
I really like the characterful nature of the figures, they are full of charm, if one can be said of Great War troops. The tanks must have been utterly awful to crew.
