JJD Poulis...The Hairy Ones... (2 Viewers)

[mikemiller1955]

I know I would be interested in adding French civilians to my French village street scenes shelf dios . . . .
:smile2: Mike

Mike...I'm glad you agree...I wish John would make a few to go with the Poulis...civilians...farmers...just idle figures of people watching...

Mike,

I feel your pain, I was agonizing over the same thing last week. Not enough drivers for the wagons and the lack of females is depressing. Under my trading circle thread, the K&C female figure in Post 1 might work out well even in the WWI era. Unsure, if the Mrs. Dickerson from K&C Alamo would work. And if you really get desperate, try the civilian in Post 14 of the trading circle, at least it is a "wave".

Carlo uses the captured "Last of the Mohican" female figures, but mostly their backs or hiding their bound hands.

I would also try K&C Fields of Battle Releases, I just peeked in there, and several figures looked good even for WWI - wheelbarrow guy, maybe mother and daughter and in WWI releases the Nurse (new release) plus maybe the old nurse in the two figure set>

Ken...you're right...I also think the K&C FOB figures could easily pass for WWI civilians...they might be my best bet...

Hi, yes, I would think the FOB civilians would go OK with the Poilu's, although I haven't got any, I have been thinking about getting some. Depends on the scale to be honest, some K&C figures are large compared to JJD figures.

JMO, but I think you will have to be careful using the FOB civilians in a WW1 dio. The males, such as the farmers, should be fine, but the females and children may not go well because of fashion. Clothing changed a great deal from the 20's on so a bit of photographic study will pay dividends in this regard. -- Al

I picked up the JJD Berliet at the Texas Toy Soldier Show a few weeks ago...

I was also lucky to pick up the retired driver...

here are a few pics...

I moved the St. Charmond and the Pigeon Wagon to take pics...

Those out buildings are great, really like the stable, the figures fit around nicely. Your talents Mike are supberb. Robin.

 

[mikemiller1955]

I got a few figures in today that I can use with my Poulis dio...

I think the K&C FOB figure goes well enough with this era...

also the 2 K&C Poulis are a very close match...

plus the K&C HK series set of small dogs will work with anything...

the dogs look hungry huh...^&grin...?

Agree that he could be French farmer, think he works fine Mike. Great scene. Robin.

Great photos and figures, Mike. Really like the artillery team man-handling their gun. In addition to the red trouser stripes, it appears JJD has put the crossed gun barrels of the artillery on the gunners helmets. Nice touch. -- Al

If you are looking for the photos in post #31, I don't believe that anyone can see them. They were a part of a very small group of photos posted right before we reinstalled the attachment photo files.

Are you able to view the photos on the rest of the thread (I can)?
