If you were to craft yourself as a figure what would it be and what position? (1 Viewer)

I would be a union infantry kneeling and firing.........behind the wall of china{sm2}

 

[craig1985taylor]

I know I've already mentioned this in the glossy section but mine would be a Blues & Royals Farrier shoeing up a Horse for the Redcoats Range! Much along the lines of the old Home Farm Farrier set.

Well,,,,,,,,, I would be in full kevlar, LBE and ruck, wearing BDU's (Battle Dress Uniform) circa 1991 and more than likely in the front leaning rest position (ie push up) position where I seemed to spend most of my military career!!! {sm4}{sm3}

I would be an Imperial Guard sappeur officer, standing on a pile of dead Englishmen, bloody axe raised in one hand, standard in another, in the final moments of my life, at the last stand of the Guard. Or maybe a young artillery officer hurriedly pointing out a target to my Empereur, while holding either a bloody sword or a flag in the other hand. I would also settle for a shirtless Austrian or French artilleryman in the trenches of WWI, loading a gun with the bodies of the rest of the crew dead beside me.

A Dink? If I remember corectly is that Army slang for a new recruit? Lol the reason I've taken an interest in is the Blues & Royals is I've recently found out through my Nans sister that there father (my Great Grandad) was in that Regiment, I don't no much more then that but its always interesting to find out tidbits about your family history from time to time,

"Dinky Does" Blues. Although we could call them new recruits, the Royal Horse Guards carried out the duties of Household Cavalry but they weren't until official so untill 1832(I believe) and of course they have been diluted further by the addition of a line regiment! Did your relative serve pre 1969 (Royal Horse Guards = The Blues) or post (Royal Horse Guards/Royal Dragoons = Blues and Royals).

I'm not sure of a date but I know he wasn't old enought to serve in WW1 but must of been out by the late 20's as my nan said he worked in the carpet factory's by time she was born in 1928. So he must of been a (Blues) Royal Horseguard.

[6th Wisconsin]

OK. I would be one of two things. I would be a member of the Iron Brigade being walked toward the rear by angry looking Rebs after they found out I was from North Carolina.

Or

With the way things have been going lately, I would be a pilot jumping from a Mustang that is about to crash and burn. Whups, I forgot to put on my parachute!! Aaaaaaaaah............................

 

[binder001]

Instead of one figure, it would be a matched set, a GI stretcher team with patient to go with the other "Normandy" style US figures available from Britains. We have bazookas, machine guns, etc, but no medics!

 

[lcdr1635]

I would do myself as my late father, a Korean War U.S. Marine, in winter gear at the Chosin Reservoir, sitting in his commo jeep, carbine within easy reach.
