Just got these for a dio.
[ATTACH]130251[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]130252[/ATTACH]


I have to say I'm impressed.


Even at 28mm scale (The manufacturers give this as 1/56 which scales up to only about 5foot 2inches which I reckon is a bit strange. 1/65 would make them a more realistic 6 feet) these figures are all poseable. I've seen a few reviews from wargamers who say construction is fiddly and they are maybe not robust enough for wargames. I wouldn't disagree but I want them fixed in a dio so that's not an issue for me. They have individual bases and there are LOADS of spares - 30 swords, 30 spears, 30 shields (two types of each),15 bows and quivers, 50 heads, and 80 arms to complete just 30 figures.


Mould quality is excellent with very little flash and they can be glued using normal superglue - look and learn all you manufacturers who are still using unglueable polythene!!! They are supplied in a sturdy box and the sprues have location pins on the corners which interlock to stop them sliding around and breaking small bits - another excellent little touch! I paid about £16 for my set which works out at just over 50p per figure, and for what you get I think that's really great value.


PS Bobby: These will fit nicely with the figures you kindly sent. My original dio idea has sorta kinda expanded - as they do - since last week. Pictures soon.


PPS Moni: I know you like zombies and post-apocalypse figures. These guys do a range of sets which you might be interested in and you won't be disappointed if the quality is anywhere near as good as these.

oh looks so fiddly Gern,but in the same look nice as well,great box art,


you have my interest in what your upto,?


yes its hard to find 1/35 zombies,and I still look time to time,


but have found that the range of things in 28mm,what ever scale that is has a lot of neat stuff,


that you will never get in 1/35 hitler young ,zombie and so no,


cannot wait to see what your doing ,

Another day out today and i came away with this one [ATTACH]130259[/ATTACH]

The other day I was looking the same model, but the 1.35 version!!


Nice one Peter!

[Guest]

Oh dear more eBay haha


Something really really really rare and special inside though. Notice the scale motorsports 1/12 Tamiya 935 detail up kit? I never ever thought I'd get one!





The model has been slightly started and some of the PE started but hopefully I can recover and small broken bits and bend a couple of the PE parts back into shape. I can live with a couple of missing bits at the end of the day this was still an awesome purchase, only 510 made as well. So happy with it haha


The bmw was a spur of the moment thing. Has stickers not decals though, might need help to sort that!

Cheers, I'm a long way off having a go at it but I'll spend some time between my 2 kits and pick the best parts for the martini with the detail kit and I'll get jagermeister decals for what's left over. I was going to sell one but I'll not get a good price with the broken bits I don't think and besides you can't have too many 935's haha


Cheers for the comment

How's "the hangar" going Rick are you nearly there? What was the thread called because I'm sure I was following it but haven't seen anything, unless I missed it.
