discussion 1/72 Tommies

[takeslousyphotos]

Hi All,


I'm trying to find some 1/72 Tommies to go with this puppy "er indoors" got me. I've trolled around on the net and can't find much of anything.......... Particularly for that period (1917 ish) and in desert rig...... Or did they just have to charge about the desert in standard Battledress ?????

thanks Patrick............ That was "Spot on". I bought this set, might take a bit of adapting but they look pretty good to me.

This looks very interesting Peter. I've only seen the Airfix 1/76 Mk1 any chance of some sprue shots on this one ?

Those emhar figures good kits?


I bought italeri 1:72 which were ok-ish, some had bad flash, and were a little samey (meaning there were four of each figure, rather than a selected lot)

........... I might just send them to Ron, and let him paint them for me

I'll take some shots Ian. and post 'em up tomorrow, I had a quick look the other night and from what I can see, although small and not much to it, it has a bucketful of detail.. Might be a while before I start "nailing it together though.

The one I ordered seemed to have good reviews Dave. But again four of each.

Have now orders both Emhar British and German soldiers so this will not only be a tank painting experience but a figure painting experience, however as small should be OK to paint ( I have a big magnifier I can use and it's hands free with a lite
