This little package arrived from Mart recently, so we got some pics taken just before we shut up the workshop for Xmas!

First up we've got the A34 Comet, something which has been requested many times on the Forum.  Reaching production just in time for the end of WWII, over 1000 of these were built, with them also seeing action in Korea.  This is a lovely model as well, Mart's done a great job on it.




The other little present in the parcel should be of particular interest to fsn, as we're bringing another variant of his beloved Centurion to the party!  I didn't have a set of tracks to hand unfortunately, so you'll have to use a bit of imagination on this one!  The Centurion ARV had it's turret replaced with a superstructure housing the winch, able to pull 90 tonnes.




Hope you like them!

Do you know *snurt* what would go well with the Comet?

Some Korean *snurgle* War infantry.

Hmmm. I always thought there were a few Comets that sneaked their way into the Cromwell troops.

Whatever, I'd still like some Korean War infantry!

Comet perfect for WW2.5 and obviously Korea. Now we just need some Chinese army infantry and we're good to go :D.

Nice!!! We just need that pershing now along with those Korean war infantry :)

The Centurion ARV is a nice looking mod, but to be a little bit critical wouldnt time and effort be better spent creating  masters for the  fighting vehicles before the rest of the sundry types
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
