Orion 1/72nd scale figures deployed with HO scale Hungarian tanks.
I started collecting Roco Minitanks in HO scale with Airfix figures in HO/OO scale in about 1963 or so.
As time went on I continued to have 1/87 scale vehicles and 1/72nd scale figures. So while I know the two scales are different, they have worked for me for650 years and it's a little late to change now!
Strelets Boer War Artillery will serve in my American militia. Once long ago it was common for there to be state, county, city, and local militia units. Now they are still around but much fewer and not many that are private.
Just like the Strelets Boer War Infantry these will be American Militia for my War of the Worlds armies.

Krupp exported guns all over the world in the 19th and 20th Centuries. So it would not be unreasonable for a couple of them to turn up just about anywhere.
So these two will be part of my American militia. I have heard suggestions that they could be used for the Great Chaco War, Chinese War Lords, and other small wars and I agree.
