Title: posted as missing in action - British tank crew
Post by: Sunray on 21 April 2016, 03:22:40 AM
Actually these poor buggers never saw action.  Any chance of these terrific sculpts making it to the moulds?  Or are you waiting for them to finish their tea break?

These are still stuck in the moulding queue unfortunately, waiting for a suitable space to open up in another mould.  For smaller packs like these or the 10-man packs, we mould those in groups of three, so the new POL1/POL2/POL3 all went in the same mould.  These tank crews will fill 1/3rd of a mould, so we need another couple of codes to fit them in with.

Or Soviet troops with accordion? :)

Your Russian accordion player already exists in 28mm.  I thnk it was Chiltern Miniatures did a range of personalities some years ago.   

With the figure groups of 10mm now so rich in detailed sculpts,  little mini dioramas are now getting popular.

I want these sculpts as a tank repair crew who have to kick life into a shipment of vintage tanks before the Red force arrives.
Dice decides everything from a flat battery to a seized cylinder or a jammed turret.  And the speed of the repairs if possible.

Not much time for tea breaks.....
