@JTam I made it，used some old parts.

A Gray showed up a my neighborhood street party! Some pretty solid '50s retro vibes.

My Suomi: Semi-auto only, sadly.   The Suomi is crazy heavy.  Like made out of depleted Uranium heavy.  Ms. Valley has my respect for trecking through the Alps carrying one ...

@Geoff Maybury Ah apologies my friend, I believe those were Katangese troops... which had a number of European mercenaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jadotville If you really wa...

Placed my order.. Getting the 5 box deal. This will be my Christmas Present from the wife. 

@Grumpy Gnome We sat rivited to the screen through this, neither of us knew the history and were very shocked at the actions of the U.N.That saying "Polititions do the lieing ,Soldiers the dieing",...

@JTam That makes a much more friendly playing field for prices and some very cool figures and equipment . Spoilt for choice for Rules for these, but with Zona Alpha a leader for rule quality and ph...

https://wargamesatlantic.com/pages/release-schedule Not TOO far down the list .....  

Zach Stewart posted the below picture here: https://wargamesatlantic.com/community/xenforum/topic/44406/sneak-peek-what-s-behind-the-curtain?page=5 Which pretty much establishes the "modern" se...

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Nicely caught on the rear sight.   The simplified sight on the Swiss version is eminently practical... But slightly surprising from a Nation of famed marksmen....

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Fascinating stuff.  Thanks for sharing a unique perspective, and the family history!

Definitely: (Although I'll join the chorus.  I wish they had dropped some heads (still don't get the GI helmets) or the cannon arms to get another body on the sprue.) The Raptor Cavalry. ...

@Geoff Maybury  Reference: Interesting.  Maybe.  That would be great because the Eisenkern mule is an amazing kit. Looking at the picture: Yellow - He is definitely holding a...

@Geoff Maybury  Reference: Could be.  Could be. Yes.  Looks a lot like an ammo crate, power cores, and a water cooler or similar.  Possibly folded stretchers stored to th...

@Alessio De Carolis  Well the pyramid of needs is real.

@JTam so am I. 

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy You're right, in human history a LOT of revolts started more for lack of food than for lack of civil rights.

@Mark Dewis Thought it was a cracker on facebook,looks even better here larger. 

@Alessio De Carolis Bigger than the old Arora Kit, but you are very right, flattern the top, and its a good  copy.

@JTam The photo on the left I think is something for the Ooh-Rahs, at first i was thinking along the lines of the "Power Armor " front, now I wonder if its a"Medic cradle" like on "Iron Cores" mule...

@JTam @Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Don`t know about you two but Allo, Allo is sudenlly much more exiting I must be having a nostalgia blast. So looking forward to these female resistance, much more than I e...

@JTam Long Low boxes ammo?,  Tall item power generator?. Small round frezer box (beers).

My good JTam, you put it on the bullseye ! If I base myself on what the elders used to say at home, two things led to desobedience first, then to active resistance : lack of food (requisitions : f...

More dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures  - Phoenix Zoo, Phoenix, AZ:

I'm actually pretty excited about the "Epic" scale Hail Caesar rumors... 

@Blutze  Nothing in the world is going to make T3 1 wound Elves durable aka "not supposed to die." (Except perhaps heavy armor, shield, and being mounted on a barded warhorse - but we are tal...

@JTam  I just finished watching All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix. It is worth watching,in my opinion.  I don't want to give much of the storyline away. It does stray away from ...

I  posted this in another thread, but here are my own Saucer people in progress: Heads and most arms courtesy of Stargrave kits. Ask around - a lot of people will have spares!

Maybe that's a belt (etc.) pouch with cigars, not bread. Note the fastening and lack of shoulder straps. Plenty of military sterotypes with cigars out there.

I want the WW2 sentries for the dogs too... but I'm intending to convert them into Traveller Vargr aliens. Partisans 2 isn't listed specifically, so I assume the secret World Ablaze one is that. ...

@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy  Well, I finally understand why the French organized a resistance.  

The Leader emerges... (Stargrave Mercenaries II preorder turned up this week! 😁)

The Swastika could have been transformed, that's for sure... A simple Iron Cross, with the palm tree, could have suggested the thing without hurting. That said, the work done is prodigious, inspir...

In my humble opinion, the best version remains the 1st one (1930, Lewis Milestone), without a doubt. The characters were fair and sincere, the acting was almost perfect and the butterfly scene rema...

Des baguettes ? There is only one problem... and a big one (if it's WW2 stuff). In Occupied France as in Zone libre, the majority of the production of good flour was requisitioned for the German A...

Oh... i accidentily cut the Grognard Raptor cavalry... But I want them too. But will likely try to put conquistadors or Aztecs on them.

German Sentries World Ablaze I want the german shephards Secret Set Shhhh 2 can keep a secret if one of them is dead.  Warring States Infantry First Empires I like the idea I h...

Should be streaming today. Someone without small children watch it and tell me if it's good ;)

The Galil is a neat weapon, but it might fit in better with the "modern" set.   As mentioned, used in South Africa, Israel (obviously), and strangely pervasive in Central and South Ameri...

Sneak Peak for 28 OCT 22: Left is a strange mix of archaic and modern...  Deathfields set? Right - Vivandieres?  Female French Resistance?  Certainly not smuggling documents...ju...

If I well remember the S. African army adopted the Galil, Rhodesia's army had the FN Fal, I read that the former wasn't very popular with ex- rhodesians soldiers because they reputed it too light a...

Interesting piece, it seems the same UFO from an old TV serial, "The Invaders".

I'd opt for any of the Asiatic/Turkic themed elves, or maybe Bronze Age. But lamellar or other 'exotic' asiatic style armours would lok rather good.

@Davy Jones  With an introduction date of 1972, I believe for the Galil, it might be a bit late but yes it is a weapon commonly associated with conflicts in Africa and it does look cool.

Hydra Miniatures also do some cool Pulp retro sci-fi “Greys”... but in metal. They lack the versatility of a multi-pose plastic kit. https://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=2_...

The sampler idea has merit. 6 male and 6 female CF at, say 60% cost of a 24 figure box?

How about the plastic bag with stapled header that some companies use, rather than a dedicated new box? They could even make the option only available as an online order via their website to keep c...

doing a third box might be tricky sales wise, since it takes sales away from the two dedicated boxes. (and i suspect the male only box will be the most popular anyway, given the general mindset of ...
