It was with the parafernalia that belong to the Lancaster so I assume that it was used when loading bombs and such like.

Well two days to go at Mr Cropper's, I have now purchased a Takom St Chamond so I am looking forward to getting on with this.
I may also be side tracked into something else.

Again, all very Warhammer.  I continue to be amazed at what was produced back then.  We're a bit mad, us humans really aren't we.  And I'm using the "Royal 'us'" you understand!

Hey up Zak,

Some of my builds don't have more than 36 parts, yet they still take me an age to complete.

Good on 'yer' Brother, If only I didn't have to work.....................

I hope my next is always better
