Just a taster really, I have plenty of other stuff made up that I'll keep secret for now :grin:

Anyhoo:

First off just to show Vip that there is progress. Camera wouldn't focus though so he'll have to be happy with a fuzzy picture.
Image

Second up, set two of the Osprey British taken from the list provided by Leigh. Already working on set 3.
Image

Old time advisors. As requested and indeed based on one such operator , these guys will be in jeans and a non athletic build:
Image

This was asuggestion at WMMS show, NKVD in plain clothes for snatch raids.
Image

A shot of the Benelli shotgun with holosight and a revamped AK74.
Image

Much requested, a British female dog handler in Osprey armour, still got to make the dog though :beg: and also as it has been asked for time and time again my first 'Lady with gun'
Image

Finally for now a progress shot of some more Winter Russians:

Not only are you currently making the best 20mm in the world but you have the tact of a politician to describe a group of over the hill old grass munchers as persons with "Non athletic Bodies " brought tears of laughter and joy to my eyes. You should run for President...Matt you nailed it the Lt MG is exactly what our TSAW carried ........Mikey

;)

Bit stuck for headwear for the group Mikey.

I was going to do a baseball cap, a boonie bush hat, a wool knit hat and maybe a reversed cap....

Also, would everyone have short hair or would tehre be room for longish hair and perhaps a ponytail on one?

Oddly enough one of the guys "Ugly Steve" did indeed have a pony tail so ya that would work...Base ball caps where super popular as well as Boonie hats ......Much much later we where issued The tan Combat Aircrew uniform I will try to send you a pic tonight but that's for informational info only you have absolutely captured My team with your present sculpts don't change a thing that you've planed for these guys.
Vehicles included a M998 with doors and side cargo bed armoured only the second vehicle was what everyone called a Pajaro it was a Japanese SUV...Both vehicles engines were modified or replaced to provide extra speed to make up for lack of protection and were off road capable...Commo was British Peltor and hand sets and 1 Blue Force tracker or BFT in the M998...we where often armed far better then normal as we where constantly distributing weapons to arm the fledgling ISF and Army units from SF and Phoenix base stock......Mikey

I am working on a dismounted door gunner at the moment in full face helmet, his pose is crouched and firing his M4.

What I would like to know is would you prefer to have the figure on a base as standard or baseless so he can be mounted on the outside of a helicopter?

I have just thought of another option. Cast him without a base and then add a base for the production mold. Then sell both versions in the pack?

Sounds good Matt. I'd say cast on base as we can always cut it away if required?

May we see a dismounted doorgunner with an M240 taken from its mount? 8)
