The handles for most of the tools were made out of Bakelite. Thus not wood. Hope this helps in your next adventure.

Trevor, do you have some documentation for that? I have the pick axe, shovel and ax handles as made of wood, though often painted (green?).

Actually Mig's 'AMMO' brand has a color for a terracotta colored bakelite in the new tools set. It's called something different on the site but the box shows it as bakelite.

I personally don't have any documentation but I just found out about it last night and think its odd that it's come up twice in twelve hours and it adds some credibility to it. I'm sure late war bakelite was a lot less labor intensive than milling a stick into a durable tool handle.

This all seems very odd. I'd take some convincing that tool handles were made from anything other than wood, especially late war. After all it was readily available, easy to manufacture and we're still using wood as the first choice 70 years later.

Excellent work. How did you find the AFV tracks? I have had such terrible luck with plastic links tracks.
