Sorry Phil, didn’t mean to hijack your post, but it is almost relevant?

My pleasure, wocka wocka! Its real in my head thank you Stephen. Its certainly been an eventful year at that and while we are on the subject, many thanks to everyone in our little community for all the input big or small.( I know Stephen does an awful lot organising all those events).
I cant wait for 2018 and the Famo and whatever else the guys have planned for us!
Thanks K and M and the team that we don't see behind the scenes of the mustard web site. :D Cheers Phil (who is covered in DBG paint right now).

Oh, really? Christopher, behind the Cent, there is an M-109 artillery battery. Your “stick” is one of three 27ft radio masts visible in the picture, serving the battery command post. If you look closely, you can see the guy ropes........

No, honestly, Stephen

Be nice to see a clear view of the photo, someone stuck a dirty great spot light with a Centurion bolted to it right in the way, can I see an Abbot (M109)there or is it an illusion ? :lol: Now theres a good subject for the next model.....an Abbot, the chassis could be used for a 432 as well

Hi Phil
with reference to the picture of a home built Tiger. It was a running prop made for the Film White Tiger, directed by Karen Shakhnazardv, There is some good T on T action & a must for tank spotters, but the scripts a bit ropey.

May you all have a very Merry Christmas & look forward to a good new year
