WHO DARES WINS


On 5th May 1980, the Special Air Service shot to world fame in front of the TV cameras. In an now iconic image, black clad SAS troopers stormed the Iranian Embassy in Princes Gate, London and executed a perfect hostage rescue, enabling you to proudly tell your mates down the pub that you were the elusive "3rd man on the balcony" and scribe your name on the boathouse doors at Hereford.

Now Winter of '79 in conjunction with Tony's Card Models gives you the opportunity to relive Operation Nirmrod in all it's daring glory and become "3rd man on the Balcony."

Available from today, a multi-storey card model of the Iranian Embassy, Princes Gate, London, 1980. It comes with five separate floors each with internal room detail, and is available in both 15mm and 20mm scales.




Originating from a customer request, this is a gaming representation of the actual building not a true scale model. Nevertheless it represents an excellent, value for money gaming piece suitable for Geezers, Call of Cthulu, Zombie rampages and of course... Winter of 79 mayhem.

  2. All credit to Tony to be fair Rusty. I just supply a couple of ideas and the odd picture. He does the hard stuff!

  3. Its damn fine. In fact, how about additional ground floor units (with or without pillars) - then you could add the upper floors to them for instant Belgravia.

  5. Hmmm...I thought that I had left a comment earlier, but anyway, excellent news by Tony!

    Are the interior walls part of the kit or is that something that you added, Mark?

    Cheers,

  6. Absolutely lovely work. Just one question - does anyone make suitable figures in 15mm. It was searching that brought me here.
