Title: Figure period swap compatability Falklands/Ww2
Post by: Ryman on 24 September 2016, 08:49:03 AM
Morning all,

Can anyone who has taken up a Falklands project tell me which codes from the US WW2 range are suitable for use as Argentinians?
I suspect the uniforms are very similar and would like to add variety if the ranges cross in a close enough fashion.

Cheers

Ry

To be  honest,  WW2 American infantry are the poor relation of Pendraken ranges.  The sculpts are old and there is not a lot of variation in the pose types.  They are chunkier than the Falklands figures which are - in my opinion - some of the best in the 10mm/12mm spectrum. 

US marine command are useful figures and even of few of French Indo China Paras can be adapted.

We are hopeful that the forthcoming Korean ranges (American and South Korean) in summer kit, will provide a much needed pool of post war American types with a wide range of applications to Latin American and Bush war gaming.

Ear's pricked up!

What do you know Sunray? What more can you say? What won't you say but could say if the Dark Lord didn't have some unspeakable hold on you?

When can we see some of these goodies?

Wait a minute ... SOUTH KOREAN? We need North Koreans and/or Chinese!

 Official media release from Sunray


I cannot possibly comment on this sensitive matter.  Any announcement concerning the launch and topic of new Pendraken ranges will be made through the appropriate channels and in the fullness of time. However, Pendraken is a progressive enterprise.  Any new products will be in response to the level of DEMAND by the loyal customer base. End.

OK, it's Centurion time!

Please can we have some Chinese and/or North Koreans to go with all those 1950s brmm-brmms we've got?

Thanks for the links  :)
It looks like the mortar and mg teams are good enough going by dougies work (spectacular job by the way) and as for variety I guess I can hold out for the Korean war figs  ;)

Cheers
