It's from Amati reference 1712/01.

Ok Ian, thanks!

Is not definitive by the moment...but is a solid option now.

Cheers. Polux

Would love to do the Christmas day football match in amongst some shallow trenches .....

Its only figures and a bit of mud but the centiment and meaning behind it would be the main point.

I'm an aircraft person right through, but a WW1 tank would be something quite different for me - out of the comfort zone for me maybe !

It's a very good idea Colin! I like it a lot!

At first I was thinking to do an absolutely different thing.

One intention was to do the 'majors' signing the peace, the End of the war.

I like the football match idea. At least it's different from the blood, mud and guts that I always associate with the Great War. Verdun, Ypres, of course the Somme, pretty bleak.

I'd probably do an aeroplane, I know I always do but believe it or not I've never built a biplane (or anything other than a monoplane) and have always baulked at the rigging!

Cheers

I might just get my thinking cap on to sort out some figures and a base, it'll be nice to do a wartime scene without the normal ambiance.

I might do a 'Harry Tate' or something similar if my current build Gladiator turns out ok.
