Title: Operation Nimrod
Post by: monkeynut on 03 June 2020, 12:59:03 AM
Would like to suggest a group of figures dressed like the SAS in the above op. Think also Lewis Collins in "who dares wins" 80s film.
Six figures maybe all in action poses;
NCO with MP5 pointing
2 Troopers with MP5 firing
2 Troopers with MP5 advancing
1 Trooper with pistol firing two handed grip

Could be used in various scenarios and "fit " in with your 80s Falklands range. Again would be happy to pay a premium for the figures as realise might not be a big seller but if you've got to have them, you've GOT to have them!

This is an interesting suggestion for the lower volume figures, to have a different pricing tier. Pendraken kind of do it already with some of the general figures.

Hi Fred,
           My purpose for posting these requests for individual/unique packs were to see if people would be open/willing to pay a premium for "specialist" packs and for Leon would mean a viable choice that could  be included within a larger more cost effective range of figures.
For example the Op Nimrod SAS figures could be a kickstarter incentive target for a larger 1980s BAOR Range or a stand alone pack within this range
Again the Seal team,hostages and insurgents could again be a kickstarter target/ incentive or stand alone pack within a larger Modern Middle East/ African range of figures within a 1990s to present range which IMHO maybe quite a profitable endeavour along the lines of 15mm AK47 Range of figures available at present.
As stated previously I personally would be willing to pay a premium and would totally except and understand the reasoning why it was so.
Just another option to hopefully be considered by the Pendraken team if or when they ever get a chance, as from previous posts about Leon's work load he's down to 15 mins sleep a day !
If you don't ask you'll never get.
If Leon could please us all I would believe in miracles!
Requests are only put out there to be pondered, put under discussion ,considered,disregarded or implemented ,but that's for others way above my pay scale and who are much wiser and  well informed in this area
Kind Regards

I like your thinking monkeynut! Start with a suggestion around a few SAS figs, then just slide in the suggestion for the whole BAOR

Nicely done.

Any piece of suitably sized dowel can be used to make 'Tangos!.  Cut off a piece the correct length for the scale you are using and then paint it the correct colour for the flavour of Tango you prefer - Lemon, Orange Etc.

Painting guide below

With four single "character " figures making an appearance in the new Japanese range , we can only cross our fingers and hope other "character " figures will be introduced eventually BravoSix.

Couldn't you all just buy some of the chickens and convert them ?  :D

(Have to admit I thought I'd already made a duck for the accessories 'section'*......I went and had a look. There are a load of beasties in there, that I'd forgotten I'd made. ;D ;D ;D)

Wildebeests, anyone ?

Cheers - Mr Forgetful

*In my defence, all the hundreds ? thousands? of models really do blur into a mass of greenstuff....no wonder I can't remember them all.  ;)
And thank you, Ian.....I've got 'Remember you're a Womble' as an ear-worm, now........AAARGH !!!! %-(
