You are both tempting me to get these civillians when I have been postponing month after month. Cheers mates!

They are excellent figures and it was very good of Wayne to lend them to me. No point in us both spending our money!

Full credit to Brett, our dealer, who saw me borrow them while literally standing in front of the cabinet in his shop where he displays those every same figures. Very classy of him not to say anything.

Sure, no worries ...did we fill out any paperwork?

I'd be careful with using the female figures from this series for 1914. You have 25 years of women's fashion change that are obvious. Length of skirt, hats, hair etc. The old lady in the coat, the woman and child and the girl behind the cart are too modern. The rest of the series look great. The old peasant couple and the cart man especially. Good subject.

Thanks for the feedback although there is strong anecdotal evidence that I have limited knowledge of men's fashion circa 2013 so my ignorance of women's fashion is not surprising. My defence is that being French, these peasants were both well dressed and ahead of their time in terms of fashion. On a serious note, there is, of course, not a wealth of effective civilian figures in matte to choose from so one does what one can.

Incidentally, about the period of dressing. I was already thinking of using the Ancient Egyptian girls for a wild Nazi costume party. Unfortunately, I have bought the girls but not the Nazis yet. I believe you know who these 3 girls are. Just waiting for someone to post the pics and for the moderators to paste on the censor stickers.

Cheers, Chris

A few female figures in 1930-40s lingerie (or swim suits) would make a good addition to a WW II line. Woman's barracks, female recruits, a party. Maybe some people would be {eek3}{eek3} !

Another nice scene. Someone mentioned clothing for the period but we don't have to rivet count. {sm2}

Thanks Rob - I knew a WW1 scene would catch your attention. I am trying to get a head start on on 2014 when all talk will turn to the Great War.
