"Thank Orville and Wilbur that the Bocage has folding wings" exclaimed Algy, as they wheeled the crate into safe harbour.

"Sorry dear, we need to buy more Oxtail Soup, my Tangmere table is incomplete."

Thanks Mark and a nice idea re: the chimney!

I've had to compromise on the 'scale', as otherwise it would have dominated the table, but luckily folding wings are a feature of the 'Bocage' .

Outstanding Steve

I was thinking about what else you could use the 'tin' idea for. Maybe an oil or gas storage tank?

I have used assorted packing material to attempt to create sci-fi buildings - the inside of a biscuit packet (the plastic bit) has been saved to turn into a green house - the idea being to fill it with plaster of paris (or filler) to make it more robust. But that is still on the 'to-do' list.

Mark, they are perfect for oil and gas storage tanks, albeit a tad large on the footprint front etc. However some of the smaller tin cans would be perfect IMHO. Something else to bear in mind when sorting through the re-cycling .

Mark if you do 15 or 20mm WWII Brits the Plastic Soldier Carrier kit is your freind. It comes with a shed load of extras, inculding all the fuel tanks for a Wasp - both versions.
