In a slight change to the scheduled programming... we've got the South Koreans next!
The Brit Commando radio operator sustained a moulding injury so we've sent him off to the medic to get him fixed up. He'll be back with us next week and we'll get the British range ready for release next weekend instead. We didn't want to leave you hanging though, so we've bumped the South Koreans up the queue and here they are! As with the US and Chinese ranges released last week, we've got a nice selection of infantry here, along with mortars, command and artillery crews. Guns for the latter will be along later in the year.
Once again, our thanks go to Sunray for all of his help and advice on this range.

Were you waiting for me to put in an order before you released part 2? >:(
Looking forward to the Brits. <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P
BTW on the website KSK2 is sad to be with a "DP LMG", which I think should be an "M3 SMG".
KSK2's the standing firing rifle, I've fixed the image on the listing. It's my own fault for having both the North and South Korean lists next to each other here and I keep looking at the wrong set...

We'll get those sorted out asap and let me know if you'd like any of these new ones adding!
:D
You have been seriously busy! Nice one chaps.
:-bd =D> :-bd
Love the officer checking his wrist watch ! :)
Reminds me of a pose from Airfix Paratroopers circa 1965.
Its a very useful pose - Doing things at the precise time is vital to battlefield management -anything from opening fire with artillery/mortars to giving the signal to move/deploy.
The other officer is a class sculpt - fits with the radio operator passing the handset. Nice little command pose.
Great sculpts Phil. I hope they grace a lot of tables. :-bd
Thanks, chaps !
The radio op will be winging his way back to Leon, tomorrow...so should be a HQ on Tuesday.
Had the same weird problem of a bit of the green stuff 'squishing', (Just ONE of the hands, this time....rather than the shin on the Winter Chinese chap.)
I WISH I knew what was, for certain.
I think a tiny bit of the 'blue' hadn't mixed properly, but as I mentioned before, I mix the stuff for ages....and then look to see that there are no streaks of yellow or blue left....
So I'm still at a bit of a loss. :-\
Cheers - Puzzled of Wales.

Totally forgot about that until you mentioned it! :o =D>
Still can't figure out who the paratroopers standing with the tommy guns pointing up to the sky pose were shooting at ... :-\

They forgot they weren't on the grouse moor with the 12 bores ! :)
That Airfix set of paras was both eclectic and bizarre. As kids we loved the "tommy gunners", but as evolved into serious wargamers we despaired about the silly poses; the grouse shooters and - do you remember the para doing keep fit exercises ? The Brit paras did not have the Thompson - or was it a Reising ? No Stens or Brens and a bazooka instead of a PIAT? And no 37 web despite the box art.
However, Old Phil is fussy about his poses. No skaters or silly kneelers. So, yes, we trawled the old plastic kits for different and authentic poses.
The result? Pendraken have best damn figures in post war 10mm.
Huzzah!

No he's not....He wants the poses that are easiest/quickest for him to do. ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Phil - The Techno I know too makes many late night phones calls, and has a scrupulous attention to detail. He takes pride in his work.
The new Vickers sculpts prove my point. :)
Yes, he makes it look easy and he is quick (but he can't multi task like Alan & Michael ). ;D

And he doesn't have a 'twins' language like those two.
(If you ever heard Alan and Michael talking to each other..you'd know what i mean..... ;D ;D ;D ;D)
Cheers - Phil
Seen worse !

Yes- I called it "Foundry speak" - It was handy when negotiating with a third party. Their version of "windtalkers" - or like in Bosnia when the Serbs compromised our comms, and we got a Royal Welch Fusilier (from North Wales) attached to do Clansman - we called him "Jones the jammer."
When I was 'in charge' of all the figure designers at the Evil Empire, most days I'd wander into the various offices to chat with the designers to see how things were progressing.
Being in the same room as Alan & Michael, was like listening to Bill & Ben (The flowerpot men) if they were talking to each other.*
But......They were truly two of the genuinely NICEST people I've ever met....Even if I couldn't understand what they were saying when they were talking to each other.
Cheers - Phil
*.....For those of you who live 'overseas' and those who are too young to remember....Have a 'Google' of 'Bill and Ben' and you'll get a vague impression of what I'm dribbling on about
In the era of Bill & Ben, in my loft I should have a few early Owl & Weasels ...... :)
Very nice indeed
Take care
Andy
Will we see the British this weekend? :)
Although I've already had on Pendraken Ordering Day this month, it's my birthday, so what better present than some infantry to go with my Centurions? :D :D
Some Korean War inspiration, to show what these can look lke :

Neat paint work. The images of Korea tend to suggest that dress order was not as slack as Pacific. All in helmets and mandatory that grenades were hung on web.
Phil opted for Army as opposed to USMC, so with the early war trousers they proxy for late WW2 Europe.

Yes as we speak the early war Brits and Royals arrive!
