I scored BIG TIME! Chiltern hooches

A few months back, a chap over at LAF saw I was looking for the old Chiltern/Snapdragon Vietnam hooches and said he had a few stowed away in an attic in his flat and would dig them out and take photos. Then he suffered a family tragedy and that was put on hold. Understandably. He finally got back to me this week and sent me photos of what he had, and it was all painted. He offered me an AMAZING deal including shipping, and I am now the proud owner of 4 Chiltern Hooches (already painted) and a set of unpainted accessories!



















These were on my longtime list of "Things I shoulda got before the company folded".

Those are great Congrats!!

Thanks Tom!

Well this just keeps better and better. I was doing a search yesterday for pre-made bunkers in 28mm, when I came across this Spanish eBay-like site and found a painted Snapdragon OOP bunker piece, which I promptly acquired! I realize Snapdragon's style isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I LOVE IT!

Beautiful. You can really turn up neat stuff. You should start a business locating things for people.

Maybeeee......... or I might be greedy and keep it all for myself.

Nice Todd.  You are on a roll!

Nice finds Todd, winner!

Nice stuff!

Thanks chaps. I'm pretty darned beside myself with glee over these scores. It HAS blown the hobby budget for a while, but I managed to keep enough stashed away for the pending release of the Full Metal Miniatures civilians. Gotta have something to populate the new village.

I sized these hut up with my March to Hell Nam figure sample (increased in size to 120%) and he fits nicely. So depending on what the MTH huts look like, I may just go with these Chiltern ones since they're already painted and ready to go.

I love the Chiltern huts.... I really don't need any more hooches but I might be tempted by the MTH releases if they are something a bit different.
