Re: FRIDAY TODAY, ISN'T IT !!!

Well done, the four desert figures are really good, can`t wait to see more.

Re: FRIDAY TODAY, ISN'T IT !!!

Nice selection, not exactly my bag but I'm pleased for those whose interests have been catered for. Might be interested in the Goumiers but bit concerned about the helmets. They look too deep and narrow brimmed to me. When it comes to deserty stuff what I really want to see is some decent Italians, not at all properly covered by existing sets. Coming away from the desert, I cannot believe that we still do not have one set of 1940 BEF bearing in mind how obscure some of the WW2 subjects are that have been covered in recent years. Come on Strelets one box would do it, although I would love to see British motorbikes with their unique sidecars and single cylinder machines. One of my favourite figures of all time is the Airfix John R that came with several of their kits.

agree can not wait for someone to do bef 1940 a big hole but happy with any early years allied forces ww2 or ww1

Re: FRIDAY TODAY, ISN'T IT !!!

I do like the DAK troops which are different from the usual SS and panzer grenadiers churned out by the so many companies. They do look different in style from other DAK sets previously produced.

I too am amazed that BEF 1939-41 and Vichy French (for that matter) have been totally ignored by plastic manufacturers in 40+ figure format. Lets hope they are considered soon.

As for early 19th century the Invasion of Canada (not just the Battle of New Orleans please!!!!!) would make an interesting change from all those central European Germanic principalities.
Naval amphibious troops were used in large numbers -both sailors and marines in this conflict would be something different.

thats cool i think a naval landing party were a important part of warfare in the 19th and early part of the 20th century royal marines french marines and royal naval division 1914 or marines 1805 to 1812 comes to mind
