Edited my post to reflect the spirit of the thread!
Even the mightiest oak started out as a little nut that held it's ground.

(Note: willing to be challenged on my assertions 'cause this aint my thread, but to my mind this is the ONLY difference from 'show us yer stuff). Also, I'm not trying to get you to move your entries to the other thread; the recent entries have kept the thread alive and are showing GHQ models as WE paint them so I think this is a good thread to maintain. Just suggesting that in future you say what the model is and maybe the product number (you may notice some of mine are no longer in production, so they are legacy products).
Let us also standardize the size of the photos submitted. If they're too large it causes problems for some readers. busboy, love your stuff but can you make the pictures a wee bit smaller? Not sure what the standard is or should be but most picture hosting website have recommended settings for discussion groups.

It took me a while to reply, but I've reduced the image size. They're still probably too big, but at least it shouldn't be killing slower internet connections or be too big for the browser windows any more.
Beautiful work. Question about the Churchill Bridge layer (UK85): Is the Bridge removable (to lay across a river) or are separate bridges included in the pack?
No extra bridges, but you can easily build the vehicles with the bridges unattached, and remove them to show when and where they have been deployed - I did exactly that in a recent battle.
