Long range desert group.......at rest !

Well that made me smile, first off what a great looking set of figures and ...at rest, fingers crossed for "in action" ,"Road watch and other cloak and dagger stuff" , "mounted" (not on camels) but in trucks and jeeps etc , Strelets you get a 10/10 from me for these guys, please let them be as good in my hand as they look in these photo`s. Fourteen poses, that is very very impressive.

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

I'll be buying. We might get a bunch of skirmish/attack/patrol poses in the upcoming Orion set...

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

They look great. I will definitely be getting these.

Alan, now that this is accomplished how about lobbying for Victorian era Maoris? :relaxed:

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

Alas whilst having nothing but admiration for all things New Zealand and Maories fighting prowess in all conflicts, campaigning for them is best left to someone who has more knowledge of the subject than me.

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

They look great, roll on Christmas, or whenever they get released.

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

These are very nice and natural poses that are shouting out for a diorama.

I also suspect that they will adapt to other periods with a little chopping.

I love the kettle and cup chaps.

Best wishes,

Chris

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

This a fine set of figures with some very nicely sculpted poses, which will appeal greatly to those creating dioramas, but probably less so to wargamers. Indeed, given LRDG tactical doctrine and the need for dispersal out in the desert, one box of these figures will be sufficient to create several dioramas!

The teapot pourer and cup holder is an excellent cameo. As they used to say back in the 1940s, 'shall I be mother?....

It would be great to see a similar set(s) for 'mainstream' 8th Army in North Africa, and for Axis forces in the same theatre of war.

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

We want them till Christmas!!! Along a set with action poses of course!!!

Re: Long range desert group.......at rest !

Great set; almost enough to put me back into WW2! Happy for Alan and others.
