    Were I to get into WW2 flying, I'd definitely do Africa and the Med - I've always loved the Italians and their planes AND camo jobs. And those buildings are very cool (ground targets, I assume?)...who makes them?

    Enjoy your early Christmas!
    All the best,
    Matt Materne

    Rob,

    also I found some great WWI miniature naval targets!

    They only have a few in production but the twin pack British Subs are EXACTLY what I was looking for!

    Thanks for the Heads up James I have just placed an order myself.
    Pity they don't do 1:1200 WW2 ships.

    Though I was looking at 6mm, their 2mm buildings might be just what I need for Origins.
    Thanks Rob.

    I just got my order from Brigade too; they advertise a long lead time, but they were actually pretty quick.

    I also had irregular miniatures suggested as a source for vehicles, boats and emplacements in this scale.

    I'm more of a Bratwurst Factory Bomber man myself Dave.
    Although for my Italian/ Malta scenarios I have seen something that looks remarkably like a Pasta Manufacturers.

    A very important target in the Med, Rob; if the Italian army doesn't get their pasta, the morale goes down to -26!
