Title: Surrendering figures
Post by: kipt on 05 November 2022, 10:31:08 PM
Are the only surrendering figures BRF6 and GRF74, both in WWII?

What I am really looking for are surrendering ACW figures.  Anybody know of any other 10mm surrendering?

The only surrendering ACW figures I know of are by Lancashire Games

This could be a challenging modelling project.

FPW surrendering was to hold your rifle butt upwards into the sky with two hands on the barrel.
Confusion must have been high.

Indeed (e.g., is he surrendering or raising his rifle butt to send it crashing down on my head?). I also seem to recall seeing this method of surrendering being depicted in one of the American civil war films (can't remember if it was Gettysburg, Glory or Gods & Generals).

Quite like the look of and variety of poses of these. I see Blaze Away also does fleeing figures. A pity they are slightly taller and chunkier than Pendraken (but .. if you don't mix and keep them separated?).

So many many questions ... "Is this a demand?" Or is there a comma missing? And who is Dorothy? People want to know!  :-\

Airfix did quite a few of those...
