My old friends Frontline Miniatures from Gibralter Farm with their superb range of WWII 20mm. Many places up here on the River Medway have 'imperial' or military names. We have roads called Grant, Crusader, Centurion, Cromwell - anyone spot the link?

ReplyDeleteEven better a statement of some kind loitering in the background. Probably want to 'edit' the picture as you likely have enough information there for someone to 'steal'.
Otherwise I missed Selwyg but the pictures suggest it wasnt as busy as i remember it.
