I had always been keen to add a few 28mm WW2 tanks and vehicles to my collection. When I first started collecting WW2 in this scale I used the tanks made by Battle Honours. The tanks were pretty good (although rather large) but cost quite a lot so I never got around to buying too many of them. Unfortunately since being sold to the USA they have been rather hard to get hold of. Various other companies have made 28mm tanks and vehicles but none of them really mixed with my originals, so I've ended up with tons of infantry and not many vehicles.
When I said was going to try and make a platoon on a budget I initially thought vehicles and tanks would be a luxury out of my budget, or so I thought. Guy claimed to have located some good toy tanks that might look good painted up. I was a bit skeptical, but he swore to me they would do the job. Sure enough he got me four! Enough to do a German Panzer IV platoon! At just £3.99 each I got a platoon for less then the price of a single tank from most wargames companies.

Time for another update on Project Platoon! Here is the progress so far. in the lead by far is Christy, she's only waiting to finish off the last of her vehicles and troops before she's ready. In joint second we have Mark and Paul both who have squads assembled but not quite the full Platoon. Mark has tanks ready and Paul is close with a good two squads ready to go. Jasper has a good two squads done with more coming. Ah but I hear you ask, what of Guy, the Editor? What of me?
