These chaps recently arrived from their maker -
Classic Toy Soldiers in the USA. "Why" I hear you ask "do you need such figures?" As always with such matters, 'need' is a word open to many interpretations. But here they are.
Just to prove that before I set about them they were rather nice figures - here they are after cleaning and basing on my usual mdf bases. The bag contained 16 figures in eight poses.
After painting - I went for a faded khaki look - the comrades were finished off with a coat of Ronseal satin light oak varnish.
I particularly like the chap with the DPM LMG - he really looks as if he is carrying some weight. Having once had to carry a (replica) MG-42 up a hill I can feel his pain.
Time to dust off the TF Smith scenario again, methinks.....
Korean troops in 1/32nd..that´s a new one on me. I know wht you mean about the guy carrying the MG...I had to lug a GPMG about years ago. Mind you, I never tried firing it in that stance.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - will 16 figures be enough?
ReplyDeleteLittle ~Cold Wars does Korea. I'd like to know more- I'd venture into South Yorkshire again to game that....

ReplyDeleteNow you mention it the Airfix GPMG gunner looks similarly encumbered.

ReplyDeleteOf course not! This is only two-thirds of a battalion.

ReplyDeleteYou’re welcome anytime.
I have irrational envy!
ReplyDeleteWhy?
I was looking at a 1/35 Chieftain in Hobby Craft but I put it back
Are you trying to "mind control" me from afar!

ReplyDeleteDon’t blame me for your own weaknesses! And not even I am daft enough to bulk-buy 1/35 tanks.
Yet!
