Hello Gentlemen,

I would just like to share some pictures of a project I did for my friend Tony. These are Atlantic Egyptians. Cheers!

Pharoah in his casket with a tomb guard for good measure

We converted some figs to create this pharoah with his hunting party on a palanquin

The Egyptians finally displayed in my friend Tony's mancave with some background statues that he bought. He created a scene where the pharoah died and everyone came to see his body.

Hi lovely paint job on these Italian made figures

I remember buying boxed sets of 1/32nd Atlantic as a kid from a toy shop in Bury, Lancashire in the 1970's and they had all the sets and historical periods. I remember having a US 7th Cavalry camp where one soldier was baking bread in an oven. They were very different sets and quite innovative with the poses of the figures.

I read somewhere that the some sets in 1/72nd have been reissued, but no sign of 1/32nd scale - maybe one day?

Thanks Dave. Yeah I like their sculpts. Unique poses and you can create some nice stories. I also have some of their greek warriors which I will paint soon as well. Their Greeks can go well with Conte and Expeditionary force once you paint them all up by my reckoning. I do hope someone thinks of reissuing their 1/32 stuff too. Cheers!

Nicely done!

I had some of Atlantic's Greeks and Trojans, when I was a kid. If I recall, Atlantic also put out some buildings, like the Colosseum, and I think some bits to depict Troy.

Prost!

I wish current manufacturers would make more civilian and non-combat (e.g., camp) poses.

Where are all the molds for ATLANTIC?!
Someone needs to start re-issuing their best sculpted sets!

Thanks for the kind comments guys! I too would like to see some more civilian poses / toy soldiers to complement some of our collection and enhance dioramas. I've started collecting Lemax figures which are in somewhat of between 54 to 60mm sizes. Some of them are dressed in Victorian dresses which can fit with civil war, war of independence dioramas and some are in 1940s clothes which are perfect for WW2 scenes. A little conversion here and there and they can pass for refugees, nurses, civilians in general mingling with Germans or US troops.
