Cool!  

Really does need the crew to make its new nationality clearer, though.

Thanks lads     

Womdy mate I agree with ya ..I was thinking of handing a Australian flag on the antenna...then after looking thru my decals I discovered I didn't have one ..so I'll figure something out.

looks like the crew know what they are doing     and all the ramage really adds to the " lived in" look of it.  have you considered adding a couple of lawn chairs to the rear cage as well ?

Mate if I had a couple or four lawn chairs they'd be there for sure.  😁😁

Got any tiny star transfers?  Put a Southern Cross on the mantle.  Subtle, but does the job.

Best I've seen in a long time!

In Australian Army speak.. Chairs Millionaire.
Bronze Green Painted folding Chairs with Canvas seat and back. Having four would be considered a major luxury and make them a target for "Inter unit re-allocation of stores"

I do like it over all. Even Australian Armour Tac Markings would give the subtle nod to being an Aussie one

Oh ive been involved in a wee bit of stores reallocation   
Of as we called it ..resupply by anyways possible...so if it wasn't nailed down it was a target ..that included vehicles 
We had a guy nicknamed Skittles ..not cause he was colorfully..cause he could always get the good stuff and we liked Skittles 👍

I've scratched up a 1/72 deck chair for an RAF pilot waiting on alert.


Does anyone make 1/35 folding chairs, table, and picnic basket?
Asking for a friend.

Their are various deckchairs made by various diorama manufacturers.  None however resemble a Chair, Millionaire, unfortunately.

So i'm intrigued and have to know.

Like this (fondly remembered finger trapper from my youth - apparently now considered retro and priced accordingly)?


Or this?

Fred the bottom pic is what is commonly known as a directors chair ...it's very similar to what we "borrowed " on occasion 😀
We also had folding deck chairs made from this plastic type canvas which are close to the director type chairs but these had had alot more lean to em so ya sat back more..very comfortable and that easily made em a target 😉 😀

There is a Tamiya tank kit with a folding table and two folding steel chairs. I think it's the old M41 Walker Bulldog.

That's the format, just a canvas cover and paint difference really and no swanky flat arms or springs, if my fading memory serves.

I tried to find some pix, but nothing popped up. Probably not high on the "have to take a photo of that" list.
In the Sigs unit I was in at the time, one was issued per detachment and one folding stool. Chair allocation was done on a Rank has its privileges basis    So with generally 3 men to a Detachment of a corporal and two diggers easy to work out. Generally as one was always on a radio shift and others on any other job the Troop Sergeant or SSM could think up, time actually getting to sit in a chair was minimal.

Chair, folding,  camp, for the use of...



The Chair, Millionaire is on the left of the image.
