The plastic wheels on the newest one look really nice,
sometimes they
go
funny like the Solido ones.Dave

Jan What a fabulous series - both models
and boxes in top condition ! Well done.Bruce

Jan --Another very nice photo showing those classic Field Gun Units....what wonderful toys they were for young boys, and they still have some fascination for us guys today! Terry

Great picture ! it ' s on Route No13 too ! Chris Warr.

A great picture Jan,
David will probably make an identical picture with 29c + 30h + 555.There is also a Bedford van at the rear.This shows that 13 is not a lucky number,
for the passengers on the front seats anyway.

A DESKFUL OF DINKY TANK TRANSPORTERS Currently I am testing and improving a completely new display which I built last week for optimal daylight photography of my miniature collections etc. Objects up to about 130 cm long (like my miniature ships) can be photographed without a problem under best lighting conditions and without making a mess in the living room! My first modest lighting test of today: Possibly I can show the display itself as soon as I am completely satisfied with it ...

Jan--Wonderful lighting effect....full, but soft, and not glaring...I really like it! Is this sunlight filtered through a window or skylight? I have tried to find a suitable area in our house to use daylight, but I don't really have a suitable area for it, with the right amount of natural light. I have tried an outdoors area, on one side of our house, and it someetimes works will when it is in the shade and not direct sunlight, but it is a long way to haul toys out, and I don't have a good table to use out there either, so I keep using my improvised light box in a upstairs room adjacent to my collection...close to cameras, toy, and books.Am anxious to see more of what you are working on as well as the display in the works. You are always an inspiration to me for the wonderful job you do with photography, and Dave also......you two are amazing! Terry
