Fresh from the mailbox, still wrapped.
Help! So many ideas what to build.

Delivered today by Royal Snail at their speediest. Takom 1/72 D9 Bulldozer arrived in UK yesterday and delivered today!
The parts look well moulded and there is a good number of them. This will be a pre-2015 example as there is no slat armour. Half a mind to try and scratch some slat armour but I will put the kit together OOB initially.

Via Aliexpress. Excellent buying experience and fast delivery for a great price.
These will be tying my M106 onto the 15-ton Aussie trailer for the “Convoy PT3” campaign. Hopefully, more tie down opportunities to follow.

Well, yesterday actually; no small expenditure this one - needed for the BRIXMIS project. Can’t have a German forest sans ferns - but a lot of work beckons!

Remember these from PLA Editions advertised recently on the site? Remember too all the whingeing about no decent Cold War figures - well here they are; a tad expensive but where else are you going to get such figures? They arrive in less than a week too, which is pretty good I feel.
I’ve just Blu-tak’d some steel helmets in on the figures, but they come with bare heads and the later Kevlar helmet:
Excellent work and removing the 3D printed strands took seconds; I’m not actually sure what I’m going to do with them- - a cold frosty morning on the tank park somewhere in West Germany, kicking ice off the roadwheels of an M60A1 perhaps? Or an argument with other NATO nations as traffic jam builds up on an exercise? Hmmm. We’ll see.
In the mean time, I would suggest, get some!

I had a delivery of 1/35 heads in baseball caps today; manufacturer and origin unknown, however, with a bit of work I envisage them as being suitable for 1970s US or thereabouts, not least when combined with the PLA figures in parkas.
First the heads; I suspect these may be designed for the apocalyptic genre, certainly one of them has hollowed out features:
Here’s one of the heads temporarily on a PLA figure; the other head is from a Hornet Heads sets, and is technically a Legionnaire’s kepi, which I thought, with a little bit of sanding down, would replicate the more rigid, earlier cap often seen in the late 50s/early 60s:
Let me know if it’s not viable!

At first I thought they were made by Maim, but nope… I also have not been able to track their prodigy…

Well, I’m not really too bothered; I feel I can do something with them. This is how they appeared on whatever site it was:
