Great camo & rust affects there Frenchy. Lots of guys are gonna want to see if they can recreate that. Those pictures alone should sell more than a few of these model kits!

Let's not let the road roller outshine their other new product offerings. Check out these period suitcases I just found on PM's Facebook page.


Perfect to go with those pre-war Saloon automobiles MiniArt is putting out.

Outstanding, Just retired a couple of years ago from running these and other rollers doing asphalt paving. Spent a lot of time finishing with one just like it. Just a side note, the proper way to operate this roller is with the large drum to the front and the steering split drum to the rear, at least when finishing asphalt. Wayne

Seeing the roller and their beer bottles together reminded me of this, a potential diorama idea maybe?



Can't believe those two are not getting a bit from the alcohol fumes.

HEY!!! Editors of Armorama, please remove Mr. Lenton and his unspeakable pictures from this website..... Destroying perfectly good beer should be a federal offense and punished extremely harsh
Ha ha, just kidding, would really make a different diorama.

Photo shop! Yes, that's what it is. People who don't believe in the moon landings are nut cases, but THIS is CLEARLY a hoax. Gotta go get a beer and think of my happy place.... This is not real-this is not real-this is not real

Of course, if there's no roller available, just use the nearest tank...

Oh the shame of it all, and the waste. I'm guessing that this represents someone's stash...

Plus Model really do come up with some cool items. As for those beer & vodka pics,, seems blasphemy (like some other things) actually is in the eye of the beholder.

I am no tea totaler but when you mentioned "stash" I immediately had this mental image of all my, as yet unbuilt model boxes about to be run over by a tank.

It was quite upsetting!
