The kit is actually of a GR1 and lacks the gunpods. I then found that Corgi did a diecast version of a GR3 that seems to scale out at 1/144 - so I bought three on Ebay, and amd getting the wife to mule them back when she comes back from visiting her parents in the US.<br /> Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-74980649869454716082013-05-20T23:47:36.295+12:002013-05-20T23:47:36.295+12:00How is the GR3 going Brian?How is the GR3 going Brian?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666481879639671282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-17464800488890195142013-05-20T15:18:03.517+12:002013-05-20T15:18:03.517+12:00nice!

This inspires me to get Pete around. he works on models far less than I do but perhaps he can come over and I could work with him some time. <br /><br />anyway good job you two. Seems like everyone is working together, just came from another blog where one blogger had painted the figs and then sent them to another to be part of a Diorama. <br /><br />BTW I have no clue where the figs are going to be gamed... err in Europe. anything else I guess really would be a random guess.Daisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-22043906682683521682013-05-20T11:31:43.243+12:002013-05-20T11:31:43.243+12:00These 'working bee' sessions can be quite ...These 'working bee' sessions can be quite congenial and you can get a lot done that way - especially for the less interesting tasks. I recall many years ago James Davies and I working on our respective Napoleonic armies - his British and my French - flocking the bases.<br /><br />Incidentally, I was never so impressed as I was then what a difference flocking the bases would make. Most of James's figures were second hand home castings - very rough, with a paint job to match. Flocking the bases transformed them into a very attractive looking army. Astonishing.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
