I painted these chaps last year, having bought them on the basis of ‘buy them when you see them’ as a lot of these 54mm plastics seem to come and go quite quickly.
I find that some of these Mars figures need some work to remove moulding lines and the heads can look a bit too small, but when painted in my usual ‘toy soldier’ style they look OK. And of course the white trousers are a bonus!
My favourite pose is the officer changing the magazine on his SMG.
They look great Tim, out of this world!
ReplyDeleteGood looking figures, and the officer certainly is an interesting pose.
ReplyDeleteGrand bigger cousins to my boys in 1/72
ReplyDeleteA fine addition to your collection
That is a very nice set of figures. I am sure we will get to play with them at some point!
ReplyDeleteI have a battalion of them in 1/72nd for my 1945 game: a cracking little set of figures. I do like their bigger brothers!

ReplyDeleteThis is what your chaps will look like when they grow up!

ReplyDeleteI have an idea for their deployment - probably later this year.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure these chaps will show up in a game at some point.
