  1. ... the growing number of CULT 1:18 scale models available on the site.

     

    Whether you collect this scale or just buy the odd one now and again, there is something for everyone.

     

    I have started with a collection of classic, British cars, but foreign Marques can be added, over time.

     

    The models can be bought for cash, or on BHM's unique '3easypay' scheme; paid for

    in three, equal payments.

     

    Gorgeous models, of superb quality and detail, supplied by MATRIX.

     

    Regards to all,

     

    Frank.

    You will not grow this poppy

    In carefully tended soil

    Or gently weeded borders

    So do not waste your toil

    Put away your gardening tools

    Your spade, your fork, your rake

    Do not waste your fancy pots

    By making this mistake

     

    Believing you will cultivate

    This gracefully-nodding plant

    To show off to your neighbours

    For your payment will be scant

    Put away your fancy thoughts

    You’ll work for no reward

    Do not waste the daydreams

    That will never strike a chord

     

    You will not grow this poppy

    In carefully-tended soil

    Or gently-weeded borders

    So, do not waste your toil

    This poppy grows in No-Man’s Land

    Its soil disturbed in tons

    Instead of water, pour on blood

    From the wrath of a thousand guns

     

    For fertilizer, feed it bones

    And from death, life will spring

    A swathe of vermillion, scarlet, crimson

    To camouflage mankind’s sins

    A blanket of red now comforts we dead

    Us long-forgotten lads

    Lost in action to the merciless guns:

    Husbands, brothers, sons, and dads

  6. ... is the 1928 ROLL-ROYCE 'Twenty' delivery van, by Park Ward.

     

    In the livery of 'Kofler of Luzerne', the model is in the NEO category.

     

    Rolls-Royce cars were often turned into commercial or military vehicles, even fire

    engines, probably because of their reliability.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.
