Bargain priced 28mm scale vintage tanks

Yesterday I bought this LS Laboratory kit of a Type 1 Japanese Medium Tank (aka Type 1 Chi-He tank) at a local Hobby shop for $1 on the discount table.  The kit was first released in 1964 and appears to have an oversized gun  that can fire a projectile.  At 1/50 scale it will work with 28mm figures, maybe for a pulp game or a skirmish level Second World War game. It will be a challenging build as the instructions are missing.

New Purchase: Plast Craft Post Apocalyptic New Haven state prison

Just purchased the Plast Craft Games Post Apocalyptic New Haven state prison (28mm to 32mm). It requires assembly but comes per-painted.  I think it will work well for a number of potential genres: Pulp, Superhero, Walking Dead/ zombie and a Doctor Who. It would be ideal for a Doctor Who prison escape scenario involving villains like: Davros, the original Master, or Harold Saxon and Lucy Saxon.  Alternatively for a Super hero game the prisoner could be the: Joker, Penguin, King Pin, Electro or any number of other Comic villains.
