Title: WW2 seated Germans
Post by: Dannyboy on 18 March 2015, 02:50:37 PM
Simply, with an alternate lick of paint will these guys pass for early war WW1, want to do some wagon mounted infantry bases for the march into Belgium. Anybody have a picture?

All input appreciated, cheers

You'd be better with the WWI limber riders probably, there's a few options available including early and late Germans:

We can supply them separately for you (as long as you don't need dozens of them...!), just drop us an email.

Brilliant suggestion, how many would I need to sit inside the boer wagon?, I'm thinking two rows looking inwards. 6 figs, eg 3 pairs a side, 6 pairs a wagon. I was hoping to do 3 wagons.

You should be able to squeeze 6 of them in each side I'd think.  If not, you could clip a pair apart and glue them into a set of three instead, to give a 3+2 arrangement. 

Do you want them all in the same headgear or a mix?  There's only 2 pairs of each type of riders in the mould, so 18 sets of the same type is 9 spins and about 45 minutes work, so we'd need to charge more than the usual 15p per figure.

Don't always realise what goes on to create our shiny goodness do we :-\

Doesn't help when I keep adding to my orders either  :-[
