The next 3 Riflemen are ready for the blog once they've had their flocking dry & photos tomorrow for my next post. Got well into the Bren Team as well, so my sessions during the week will see them done.

With the small assortment of BEF equipped figures out there, I will take the odd random one so they don't all look like rank & file troops.Terry Silverthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02873668652853883440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019954647192195240.post-24775262668870184842021-06-12T02:48:40.408-07:002021-06-12T02:48:40.408-07:00I'm not a big fan of figures with greandes (in...I'm not a big fan of figures with greandes (in any pose) and would rather have an advancing figure like the chap on the left.

The fellow with the grenade is posed as we were originally taught to toss the grenade (as per the manual), however we were then shown the baseball throw method, once we passed the Performance/Enabling Objective with the manuals version. As for your dilemma, think about a baseball pitcher winding up for a throw & see if you have torsos that kind of fit. I would need to see them for any further opinion,Terry Silverthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02873668652853883440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019954647192195240.post-1505573681304841172021-06-11T01:13:59.356-07:002021-06-11T01:13:59.356-07:00Nice additions Terry!

I have some plastic US infantry that I plan on doing for 7TV Pulp but can't quite figure out what body and left arm to use. There are done so differently. I think what I am struggling with is the fact the grenade and arm appears to be forward just being released.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019954647192195240.post-9874386098682063262021-06-10T21:48:46.284-07:002021-06-10T21:48:46.284-07:00Yes, I've painted 3 armies (French, German and...Yes, I've painted 3 armies (French, German and Soviet) so it was about time you get your limeys to the table!Scott Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830679452041348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019954647192195240.post-27339506649355436992021-06-10T12:44:54.351-07:002021-06-10T12:44:54.351-07:00Hey Dave, glad to see you back in the loop.

Hoping we can get back to our monthly Saturday events at the clubhouse again. You will be missed. So hows the new locale? Have you scoped out local gaming stores or clubs?Terry Silverthornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02873668652853883440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019954647192195240.post-51315048735874423772021-06-10T12:42:39.641-07:002021-06-10T12:42:39.641-07:00Hi Terry - so what game are these lads destined fo...Hi Terry - so what game are these lads destined for?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775343494603941311noreply@blogger.com
