''Over The Top'' (1 Viewer)

Here are a couple of pictures of my ''Over The Top'' sets from the Premier Series
I loved these sets & though they had great potential, They have slots on each side making me think that more would follow & we would be able to interconect them to make up our own displays but this never happened. When they finally did release some more trench sections they was of completly different design which i thinks a shame really.

These must not have been big sellers since I still see them availible new. I picked up the British trench section on e-bay but was a little disapointed in it. Looks OK but feels kind of light weight and cheap. Just my opinion.

Well the 1st two they made are really heavy? They seem to be made well in my opinion the detail on them is very good, it was the two they made after that i was disapointed in!!! light weight & all around tackier look & feel to them?

I agree with 4th Hussar when he says, in reference the WWI trench sets that ...

It seems plausible that they have not have been big sellers because I've seen them on the Treefrog and Hobby Bunker sites at good prices. But I like them, both the Brits and the Germans. I like the painting, the poses, and the toy soldier look.
Having said that I like the 'over the top' figures Craig posted a lot. I'd love to see more of those.
This thread is a lot like the one in the Britain glossy section under the heading Charles Biggs Premier Series.
