Most disliked figure pose.

I've said it before, and no doubt will do so again -

WORK FASTER PHILIanS 

Chance would be a fine thing, Ian !....Mrs T's had a 'gall bladder relapse'  .....I think I'll be spending the majority of the day being stable boy......Might find time to do the very final touches to Orc's early WWII German para's and take some photo's. Can't see myself getting much else done....

Hey Ho !.....There's worse troubles at sea.   

Cheers - Phil

Wish her a fast recovery. Cant you get the Labs to muck out, they like digging.

For me its figures with cast on flags, especially if part of the flag is joined or partly wrapped round the figure

[Steve J]

The strangely posed running figure in a lot of the packs, that doesn't look like a natural run. Frankly it puts me off buying them!

[Fenton]

A lot of the Airfix figures had strange poses but without them how many of us would have got into wargaming?..I am sure I wouldnt have so I like to give them a break when it comes to some of their dodgy poses

[Westmarcher]

Phil, my old auntie suffered badly from that. Hope it soon passes.

Wee Wars, thanks for posting these Airfix figures. Now that I think of it, it was the bugler I converted to a standard bearer - someone else on some blog converted the bayoneting the ground figure to a standard bearer (and, besides, the guy doesn't even have a bayonet!).

You are so right, Fenton. When I look back, my first attempt at writing my own wargame rules co-incided with the acquisition of my Airfix collection  (which I later gave away thinking I had 'grown up'  ). And to give further credit where it is due, where would we be without the vast choice we have nowadays in numerous scales from numerous manufacturers. But ...... where's the fun in that? ....... so, onward once more .......

You mean the "Hi! Sorry I'm late." pose next to the one trying to shake a stuck matchstick out of his firearm.

Surely the "Hi!  sorry I am late for the war " pose is an historically accurate pose for an american soldier ??   

Orcs puts on tin hat and retreats to hardened concrete bunker and awaits incoming !!!

I would also like to wish Mrs T a swift recovery,(and before anybody says anything IT IS NOT SO THE PARA'S GET DONE QUICKER!!!!!)

P.S. fsn: Whisky, elephant and Airfix US Marine heads ...... never thought of trying them together. Taste any good?

Nah. But you get used to it.  Better than the Airfix Japanese Infantry heads.

Thanks, Ian......If we had a few more Labs, they'd probably scoff it all.....Revolting animals !
Just having a quick break before going out to do some more 'horsey chores'.....Just seen Mrs T off in another ambulance.....Hope something gets sorted this time.
Yours truly staying at home, as the animals still need sorting out.....Wonder if I'll be picking her up tomorrow.

It's an exciting life on't farm....Sorry, Mark (And thanks to you, too...and Westmarcher).....You won't get an piccies today. (Sigh !)

Cheers - Mr Exhausted..But fine apart from that.

[Shedman]

I once bought a used car from the second guy from the right

[fsn]

Was that after he managed a 2nd division footie team in the 1970's?

[fsn]

Why is the chap second from right playing "hide and seek"?

It wasnt a 1924 "Swiftmobile" from Dudley Dorchester was it?

Hoping for a swift recovery, look after yourself as well as the animals 

[fsn]

It seemed like a jolly good bargain at the time, what?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Quick recovery Mrs Techno.

[Ithoriel]

Why is the chap second from right playing "hide and seek"?

He's ducking so the officer can shoot they guy with the MG

[Westmarcher]

........ not only that but it looks as if the MG guy's nether regions are about to get very hot. Great balls of fire!

Hope she is ok. No need to appologise,in the list of important things in life wargames and hobbies are nearly at the bottom of the list.
