rune Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Look at the 4th picture down at this web site. I can't put my finger on it, but something doesn't quite look right with the 25 pdr. Also the 88mm in the first photo looks sweet. 25 pdr Rune PS Found this while researching for a new scenario 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The barrel also seems a trifle long and the baffle on the muzzle just isn't right. What else? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It's the wrong colour, and appears to be manned exclusively by officers (and naval officers at that!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It's really a 17 pdr. Explains a great deal, really. Lego for war pigs! On a more serious note, back when Lego barely had wheels we used to make Lego warships and "torpedo" them with wooden spools fired from a Remco bazooka whose mechanism was intact but whose tube portions, being cardboard, didn't handle rain at all. The baseboard in the bedroom had lots of divots! Memories! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hey Jons, Do you have anything opn the fighting at Rimini Airfield in Sept 1944? Going to have the Greek [French? for the scenario], supported by C Squadron 18 Armoured Regiment minus 12 Troop and the 6 Platoon from 22 NZ Battalion. Appreciate anything you may have.

Sivodsi Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Both guns are works of art compared to the 'hetzer heavy tank' "the gun can go up and down" The PIV on the site is a pretty good attempt though. Just love the little yellow smiley faces of the crew. Mod anyone? [ July 17, 2006, 08:54 PM: Message edited by: Sivodsi ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sivodsi, My eyes! It's really a Tortoise, but the Panzer IV is pretty impressive. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one of the antagonists: One of the bad guys JonS, let me know if you find anything on the attack at the airfield. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Originally posted by Boo Radley: What about Lincoln Logs? Yep, yep. Erector Set too. Plus two different kinds of plastic bricks. I used to combine plastic bricks with the erector set and make forts. I'd put my toy soldiers on the ramparts and then knock them down with my toy canon. I was a military genius at ten.

As soon as you get your driver's license though, you better take them down and donate them to Good Will, or the cool chicks won't go with you, if you know what I mean.

stoat Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Originally posted by JonS: Why do americans call them legos :confused: It's lego, for cripes sake. I was always under the impression that "legos" was the plural of "Lego." As in, 'I just had three legos surgically removed from the sole of my foot', as opposed to "I just had three lego surgically removed from the sole of my foot. However, Mr. Emrys seems to have been incorrect in his usage, but that is hardly a newsworthy announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 When Michael was a wee lad, Lego had not been invented. It only came out in 1949. Michael was well past playing with lego at that stage, getting ready to draw his retirement cheque. All the best Andreas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
