I had these made as a christmas present to myself, five mini's depicting five British Airborne infantry for the battle of Arnhem 1944. Been looking forward to getting my hands on these and painting them up and the wait is almost up, they come back from the mould maker this week :P stuart http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/3127/britparaco0.jpg
It almost makes me want to get back into modelling and wargaming. Go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on... aw go on now. I'm sure you're going to crack soon, mmmm, lovely modern kits, mmmm, tiny paras so far removed from what used to be available it's astonishing, mmmm, have you seen the detail these days on larger figures like you used to do? You could start by making him a new Lewis gun... http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/attachments/land-models/3923d1162810794-get-yer-kits-out-jock-jpg You and Mollusc could do ostfront partisan attacks on his Z gauge trains... Go on go on, Go on.
Brilliant figures. It almost makes me want to get back into modelling and wargaming. Owen - join us, you know you want to... :m9: :mellow: For more of a taster, have a look at: Home An example here: I have spent the Christmas and New Year making up some nice 20mm Sherman kits from Armourfast. Nice and easy, and plenty of space to customise them a little. I will post some photos when complete.
@Paul that reminds me, I may have to ask around for some AB British Infantry, ordered some around four weeks ago and still no show......... I can't imagine anyone interested in military topics doesn't collect either militaria, books or military models Or all three stuart
Kyt...........were all longing for something we'll never have......I never got over 1975.........(smile) by the way the guy I know in the Oz Army agreed with your assessment of why the soviet airborne used two parachutes -mad, mad the lot of them! stuart (wink)
