tow bars an idea.     i tend not to add antenna to wargames models, the risk of loosing them when there being handled is too high,    and the extra height makes storing them real PITA... also i know that extra antenna are a target marker on real vehicles, and try no to give my opponents too much of an easy time...  If they cant read the battlefield thats there hard luck

If you could bottle that,, you'd make a fortune 

theyed just tax it massively, and that would make me sad.... so id stop producing it.  drat.

Come the Revolution Boys and Girls 

all five Milan teams together and undercoating started,  ditto 2 of the 432s,  my desire to get the 3rd going has so far lost out to the  pain of having to sand the tracks down so heavily.

got some paint on the milans and teams, and have started on the explorers and found that i had started another  set   Pulp style Russians a general, a sailor, a sword Mistress, and an armed lord and lady with a falcon, ive had them a few years so they should paint easily.

ive got all 5 missile teams done and one of the victorian ladys     
an extra 11 figures

60 figures 4 pieces of scenery and  7 models

im still at varying points on the rest of the  female explorers and the pulp Russians but am experiencing slow progress on them as well 

ive worked out a way to support the track runs on the 432s as well, as the return rollers and top run were not attached to the bodys, and had a degree of flex, which i was worried would lead to them eventually fracturing due to fatigue, so they have had some filler dolloped on by the support rollers to act as a support, and i can paint up as mud and gunk.

the 5 pulp Russians are done

Good work-around! I must remember that one.

I will admit to there being a few instances where it can be applied to me...

I really try to learn from other people's questionable choices but sometimes it's a DIY project.
