Hello

I realise the pound has taken a pounding but you might have a look at the Tomix stuff from Japan, apart from rolling stock they also have buildings that would step right into Korean War scenarios (I've also often dealt with PlazaJapan and they are good dealers - maybe look at combining postage):-

Ah but compared to an FV4017 they are only boy racers  with go fast stripes
Absolutely! I think a nicely refined, understated Centurion is far more dignified than these hot-rodders.

There are a few a painting types out there who may like to have a go?

Well fellow members, very shortly (he has already done it ! )we can predict that Leon will formally commission an opinion poll on this very Forum to discern what you want by way of post war Korean figures.

So, don't be shy.  What basic figures do you need to game Korea ?  What existing figures can be found in current Pendraken ranges ?   How versatile are the figures you are requesting ?

Can I thank you all for your interest, knowledge and boundless enthusiasm.  The primary research into this little known war has been a learning curve for me, and I look forward to seeing Techno's sculpts appear on the Forum,  get moulded into figures, pick them, paint them and hope they get a +1 on the table.  

This thread is officially closed.
