Title: mid 20th century civilians
Post by: Sunray on 27 May 2020, 09:16:18 PM
I need a few civilians for my fishing village/boat crews.

I have already identified FRE 15 (refugees). Is there any other items out there?  Si Fi range?

Victor - you never disappoint !  Thank you for taking the no inconsiderable trouble to source, list and paste these options.
I have some of the "survivors" in my spares box.  I believe Techno sculpted them some years back? I just forgot (Senior Moment) that they were filed under the Zombie tag, hence unable to find them.  :o

The P&D Marsh stuff is good for what it is- pure N gauge.  Figures just a little short of the 10mm wargames standard, However human beings - and soldiers do not come in a standard size - so I would be happy to mix and match with other civvies such as Pendraken refugees, zombie survivors, and Minifigs civilians.

Now we are on the cusp of serious 10mm Cold War Gaming ( Timecast and Red 3 leading the charge) perhaps it is time to consider a small set of European post war civilians ?  But seriously Leon, I would get the Warsaw Pact troops out first.  Soviet Airborne would be a good starter.  You already have the BAOR (Falklands Range) , the AFVs and a good spread of NATO reserve types (Argentine Falkland and Korean ranges)

The 'survivors' were certainly me, James.

That DOES seem a long time ago. X_X

Cheers - Phil :)

There is a rumour that the sculpts are based  on Forum members.   :)

They are not necessarily wimmin.  They could be forum members in their weekend mode of dress.

Is that Her Majesty with Edward and Andrew top right; Harry and Wills bottom right?  :-\

Camilla and Charles have joined the group (far left) in the bottom left picture.

Obviously imagination and/or a dab of paint and a wash will bring out more realistic skin tones and hair colour ;)

This is not as "far out" as it seems.  Back in the last century Preiser brought out PR88 "World leaders" - with QE2 and Chancellor Joseph Strauss.
Newer releases include miniatures of Obama and Merkel.

Even though I've seen a pic of you, Ian....Rest assured none of those are based on your good self.

I'll keep the 'labs'.   ;D ;D ;D

PS Would you like any of the horses, instead ?
