Using the excuse of a camp like Crowborough nearby on the High Weald, a 'military special' train collects a couple of C.V.R.(T) FV107 Scimitar Armoured Fighting Vehicles and a Casspir Personnel Carrier (the latter under 'Rule 1' because I wanted something more sinister-looking than anything the British Army had).
(Sorry about the garden tap in the background.)
Of course the scene needs swarms of soldiers, and perhaps a crane to get the Casspir onto the Lowmac, but it kept me amused as a trial shoot. I made a little ramp from Pastikard and staples to cover the gap between the brick ramp and the PFB's buffer-beam. I have no idea if this is realistic. To model a formation thus in air-braked/Speedlink days, I asssume I need to find a 'Warwell'.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this is of interest.
