@Forrest Wentworth The kit I think is great. The coverall torsos are so versatile. I have a lot of ideas for them but it is the weapons in that kit that do not appeal to me. Your conversion he...

Really impressed with these figures Marines and VC, the detail is great I`ve put no equipment on them as yet, and each comes with a real choice of packs, weapons, water bottles, Holsters, emptyand ...

PICTURES Never done this before, so here goes. here are my "Nam" Rubicons,  2 Marines, 2 VC, a Mk5 Centurion, VW, Tractor, and a Market produce set. The VW and Tractor can be Taxis if you want...

@JTam so I'm on my phone atm but I can grab you the definitive source on my laptop tomorrow. Basically I too thought the 316 was a Goliath unit unit I read into it more. The fkl units refer only t...

@Cole Lassell  Great stuff.  Really like the details on the Tiger modifications to act as a control vehicle.  Question.  Did the 316 operate Borgwards or Goliaths?  I tho...

So Im still digging but this is one very interresting part of the panzer Lehr Ide like to share and that is the "Panzer Kompanie 316FKL". FKL=Funklenk which is in reference to the radio controlled ...

I'll start with a review of Osprey's "French French Soldier Versus German Soldier, Verdun 1916" by David Campbell. I want to highlight this book as it seems particularly relevant to WGA fans, co...

Not all references are created equal.  Help your peers.  Throw your book reviews here!  (Or post a link.)

@BS Kitbasher   I think your idea for a book review thread is a great one.   Also, you are 100% correct the Osprey compilations are great values and a list of them would be very us...

@BS Kitbasher Thanks.  Maybe I need to move the Eisenkern up my priority list.

I had a similar idea: cut the barrel (and maybe the magazine) and *poof!* the rifle becomes a shotgun!

Objection!!  Title is misleading! 😁

Those look like Eisenkern shoulder pads.

For reviews, I recommend Ancient Armies of the Near East as well as Aztecs, Zapotec and Mixtecs for WGA customers looking to get excited about upcoming products; both are informative, give hints of...

They kind of remind me of Rogue Trader era Guard with newer style Laguns.  This is a good thing from my point of view.

Neat concept!  I like how the adoption of modern or better projectile weapons has already driven the adoption of khaki/drab clothing and helmets. Maybe the shield could have a notch at the up...

@Lord Marcus How did you get the shoulder pads?

@Grumpy Gnome I initially had some hesitation about them, but when I got my hands on them in person I've really enjoyed the kit.  There is actually definition for a vest sculpted into them.&nb...

Super Early 1942 Willys MB "Slat Grill" JEEP:   Another nice JEEP:  

@JTam  Some good points made! I can't recall seeing any photos of bare chested gunners from WW1. I think you're right. It wouldn't be the done thing to strip down to the waist in the early par...

I really like this guy, have you done anymore?

@JTam  Yes. I can get past the double bed rolls thing. In the field the Serbs were a bit of a irregular bunch so I can work with it.   I already have some empress miniatures Japanese...

@JTam  All good books. 

Reviews of products and sharing information about sales are two of the things I look for on forums. The gaming community working together with manufacturers and retailers to share information is aw...

Great idea! I am not a fan of the weapon in its stock form but your modifications do help sell me on it.

@Cole Lassell  Looking forward to anything you can dig up about the Panzer Lehr Division.

@JTam yeah again it will be easier to see once I have the models. For now Im just doing some research on the Panzer Lehr division for fun. I plan to share some of the cool finds I have soon!  

@Cole Lassell  Really like your concept art/sketch.  I will mention that camouflage pants for Heer Soldiers seems to have been VERY thin on the ground based on photos.  

@Cole Lassell  You may find the compatibility better with Warlord's "German Infantry plastic box set."  It's an older Warlord kit which means the figures aren't as THIC as the newer kits...

I have access to sprues from pretty much every wargames Atlantic release. I had a spark of imagination the other night and came up with a sci Fi project. "Legions of the New Principate." The leg...

@JTam Not an exact list, I gotta see how well the parts mix for this kit and the WL kits cause things like snipers and pioneers would be nice.

My body is ready:

Great idea.  It does completely change the look and feel.   It does have a pulse rifle feel.  It also reminds me of the HK G11. The squad automatic weapon and sniper rifle a...

OK.  I've discovered incontrovertible proof that Viking Shield Maidens existed. If they didn't exist, they couldn't get sucked into space to become Death Fields Cannon Fodder.  BOOM!&nbs...

The major combatants,  France, Germany, Great Britain and the Commonwealth  all wore collar -less undershirts. I couldn't tell you what the Russians and smaller nations were issued. I th...

Interesting idea. Jack boots or low boots with putees does indeed cover just about everybody. Were "collarless" undershirts as pictured common to all powers or were there variations? I suppose b...

Simple and effective.  Nicely done conversion and write up.  Thanks Brother.

@Hudson Adams Was thinking today - I've been wanting to model a regiment of High Elf cavalry as if they're marching on campaign but there are no walking horses in plastic at all on the ma...

@Christopher Tyrer  Are you still going to do the conversions/use the Eureka heads if the Japanese Infantry are released with double bed rolls? 

@JTam   Yeah, you can get them with beards too!
