discussion PBI (Poor Bloody Infantry)

[Neil Merryweather]

yep, still in!

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Do we have a date for this?

 

[pjgtech]

Oh wow how did I miss this, would have entered my German soldier in Winter gear, but thats been and gone and finished now, ho hum... I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next one....

 

[minitnkr]

Still in, whenever.

Ok. thought interest had died - may coincide with end of WW2 is a thought (but not a deal breaker). I'm open to suggestions for a convenient time span and then I'll propose it to the Bosses! Thanks for reviving the concept - give me the most acceptable time that suits the majority and I'll action it! Thanks again!

I'm doing the Airfix GB which starts next month and hopefully the BoB which may be running from July, but I'm sure I can fit at least one figure in(although I DO have several candidates) whenever people want to do it.
Of course I could just enter my next batch of D-Day GIs, but that would be cheating a bit - especially as they're already part of another GB- then again they ARE injection moulded...

I will have a look in my figure stash and see what tickles my fancy.Been years since ive painted any figures.Have to decide if i want to do 1.35th figure or 1.16th.Got plenty of started stuff.

[rtfoe]

I'm in as well. Probably will be in the midst of doing a figure when the date is decided and I'll use that as my entry.

Cheers,
Wabble

Well, the following stalwarts have expressed an interest; if anybody else wants in (or out!) please say but there's no worries if you want to join at any time. I know many have signed for other GBs so my initial suggestion is a slightly extended time frame of August to end November. Open to mob rule though! So, victims so far:

Richard 48
Paul T Rose (?)
Paul - Minitkr
Tim Marlow
Neil Merryweather
Geoffers
Si Benson
Papa 695
Mike - Valeron
rtfoe
Paul in Kendal
Pigtech
Me - Steve

Just a recap - any army, any period, any format (eg Busts, Flats, Dioramas etc etc) any scenario - only caveat is they're PBI!

Steve I’m in.

I'd like to join in the fun. Does this have to start from scratch? I have modified figures that will need painting for a Dio with just one more to complete the scene on hold. Definitely will start the painting nearer the end of this year after all the final sculpturing is done. The painting would take about a GBs timeline for me.

​​​​Cheers,
Wabble

No worries Wabble - the aim is to be as loosely prescriptive as possible within the constraints mentioned (It has to be PBI!) - just interested to see how we all interpret the theme!

Steve I’m in.

Thanks Lee!

[Ian M]

Well by my reckoning you have 14 so far. Well done pulling it together.
Send me a reminder closer to the start and I will make the forum for it.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Sorry for the delay in responding Neil, I've suggested the slightly extended period of August to end November due to other GBs in progress; hope this is not problematic!
Steve

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Not at all Steve, it doesn't really matter to me, especially as almost every figure I do is PBI anyway
But I do have something specific in mind for this

Sounds interesting Neil - looking forward to the outcome mate!

[PaulTRose]

Im definatly trying to think laterally for this one

 

[PaulTRose]

Well.....im sorted

Whats the one thing that infantry.....of any nation at any time.......hate most of all?.....walking!!.....having to trudge from a to b and then be expected to fight!.......so they cadge a lift from wherever they can

Been looking for some tank rider figures of any nation.....found these and i think i have a couple more in the spares box to add......and i already have a suitable Panzer for them to sit on

 

[Airborne01]

Sounds like a plan Paul! Grab a lift whenever possible!
