Hi David, I think you may be talking about the late forum member Johnnybach, who did make quite a few bands and made many modifications to his figures. He passed away around 2019 and although his posts can still be found the images seem to have been swallowed up by photobucket and are no longer...

That's an unusual looking figure. Can you post some images of the rear of the figure and the base? And do you know what type of weapon she is carrying? The curved dagger looks Arabic. If it is a kit I would expect the arms to be separate and usually, but not always, the base. Stripping the...

I used Mr surfacer 1000 the other day on an old 54mm figure I have been working on. It leaves a nice snooth painting surface. I suspect 1200 will leave an even finer finish. Just make sure you clean up any casting marks on the figure, fill in any gaps and give it a good wash before you prime...

Looking at the Victorian and New South Wales legislation, I suspect it doesn't apply as there are exclusions for "the display of a Nazi symbol done reasonably and in good faith- for an academic, artistic or educational purpose". I suspect that model soldiers fall somewhere in those categories...

If you go to John's gallery you can see them. Mainly Scale Link and Mountford Miniatures- https://toysoldiergallery.au/soldiers/french.htm You could send him a message, although I'm sure he will see this post. Scott

Thanks Rod. That is indeed them. Regarding your second set of figures. Have you thought of painting them gloss? Those colours would look great in gloss. Scott

Thanks for posting these Rod. Its good to see some interest in older figures, particularly those of local manufacturers. I was in Wanaka last year and there is a large automotive/aviation/militaria/toy museum crammed full of stuff. There were lots of old Britains, however, there was also a...

Nicely done! What figure did you use for the AA man? Some of the old Airfix 1/32 vintage car kits are also suitable for these kids of dioramas. Scott

Ah! Badajoz!:) Nice work Victor. Scott

Very nicely done. Good to see some figure conversions. Scott

Indeed. I can see Hinchliffe CS22, the Spanish infantryman sitting on the barrel with the bottle. Valiant Miniatures Brunswick Hussar officer and Rose Miniatures Caron d Hevilley. There are a couple of Victorian era British officer figures in there as well. I think they are Ensign as mentioned...

They are fantastic Andy. I think the image of the Lancaster has been labelled wrong. It should read 460 Squadron RAAF, not 46. Scott

Having a look through the British Order of Battle for the campaign on Wikipedia it lists eight Can-Am motorcycles used by the Commando Logistics Regiment- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_ground_forces_in_the_Falklands_War They look like the bike in the images-...

I, wonder if they were BSA WD B40s. A little long in the tooth by then but the general shape looks right. Were they paras or signallers? Scott

I've had similar problems and have had to strip the paint off and start again. I have found that some types of paint (acrylics and metallics in particular) react with gloss coatings. I have had the paint haze, go milky and in the case of metallics the paint has run. It can be a bit of trial and...

Flood, That other figure looks to have been restored. I think they have mounted the original figure on a larger base so that the figure is more stable. You could have a go restoring your figure. The bayonet would not be difficult to replace. Several years ago a fellow forum member kindly sent...

Give it a clean with some soapy water and a toothbrush and see if any of the original paint remains. Nice find.

Some lovely early figures there Victor. Some manufacturers new to me. Along similar lines there was a thread recently on the Britmodeller Forum where a member posted his collection of Indian Mutiny figures (see post 4)-...

I think it is a good idea. Remembering that resin figures, vehicles and building kits have been around for a while it is only the printing process that is different. It does seem popular in war gaming and I have seen many figures, buildings and vehicles on the Lead Adventure Forum. The printed...
