Over at Plastic Warriors, Paul has put together a site dedicated to pictures and info about 1/76 and 1/72 plastic soldiers, kits and wargaming. He has spent considerable time photographing, discussing and comparing various model types and clearly has a passion and expertise for the subject.  One item that caught my eye was his link to the five worst army men of all time.

In this archive link, you can see his examination of minature Jeeps.  He also had these matchbox covers, which were I thought were interesting.
