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!

Lovely stuff.

Makes the Arab-Israeli a bit more do-able.

The BA-10 is a lovely model, and I'll buy some regardless but... the wheels still look wonky...  :-\

Yeah, ditto. I was one of those agitating for one. The T40 and the L6/40 are pretty little models too, but the BTR152s are brilliant. The fact that they already appear to be moulded in plastic makes me wonder what the production models will be cast in. After all, those big, modern vehicles will weigh a ton if you have decent sized units.  :-\

The masters have been made in plasticard as it's easier to work with, but the production runs will be in metal.  We may grind out the underside of the model a little to save on metal, but other than that it should be fine.

The BTR 152s look really sharp - the plasticard seems to make very nice models.

Unfortunately the T-40 looks a bit rounded, and soft around the edges - not very tank like?

Could be the angle of the photo, but I'll check on that.  It wouldn't be too hard to have a whip round it with the file once it's been master moulded, and sharpen up the edges.
