Hi Peter
A simple scene but done superbly. I like the base just as it is.

Now I can't unremember Quantum Jump's song:Looked it up.
Tonto addressed the Lone Ranger as Kemo Sabe or more properly Ke-mo-sah-beh. Apparently it's from the Ojibwa gimoozaabi sometimes translated as 'Trusty Scout'.
I'll get me anorak........
Didn't he inherit a silver mine?There was some other subtext to this that I no longer remember that led to his using silver bullets, but the pilot was better than the series as I recall.
Peter, PMSL.......... It's my accent...... I'm from Devon.....Looked it up.

I know a joke about Bill and Ben........ Bill and Ben were laying in bed one night........Rick - I have ended up with a blinding headache after two days of painting 1/35 figures. I should have taken it easier, but there are a couple of bust commissions in the offing, and anyway I got a bit over-enthusiastic.
John - Thanks. The base is just a bit of Model Scene grass mat, but I was struck by the way the green in it off-set the colour of the vehicles and decided I liked the effect. I was looking at the M6 kit last night and it does seem a bit basic - the holstered carbines look like wooden crutches and there are release points all over the front of the radiator grill. It will need a lot of sorting out and quite a bit of extra stowage to deal with the problems.
Lee - Thank also. Perhaps I should explain the weed references for those not of a certain age and nationality. The two crew reminded me of 'Bill and Ben, the Flowerpot Men' a couple of puppet characters from a children's TV programme of the 1960s. They were mostly made of flowerpots, and lived in two larger pots, between which grew a plant called Little Weed. Little Weed woke up when the gardener went in for his lunch and Bill and Ben came out to play. They all talked a weirdly intelligable nonsense language and Little Weed used to shout 'Weeeeed!' all the time, especially when warning Bill and Ben that the gardener was on his way back. There was also a tortoise called Old Slowcoach. They don't make 'em like that any more!
