Very nice, but I do wish 1st Corps would get on with extending the 'proper' WW2 ranges  :D

Like a tripod mounted MG42 and crew, etc..

(Incidentally, it's not uncommon. My late father appears in a very impressive 'Tam o' Shanter' mural by a well known artist.)

If there's a choice (and there probably isn't) hold the "generic German MG42 on tripod" for just a little while longer to finish these fantastic and unique figure sets!! Congrats.

The Follies,WW1,and Home Front.
Are fully independent of the release / design rota of 1st Corps.So there's no point Bugging Simon or Mick. These are run to fit in with my commission rota.(As I'm free lance.)

I will be adding quite a lot to the pile though and well before Partizan. ;)

If your at York on the 3rd . I'll be happy to hear your ideas there.( probably more so once the bar's open :D )

I didn't know there's such a thing  lol
(I'm at York on Sunday so no doubt I'll be adding to the lead pile.)

Here's the first sets to be handed over at York.
A crew for the civillian Austin7.
An anti aircraft ring mount and gunner(the one in the picture is on a Rommfel from the WW1 range to go with my Follies figures. I was supposed to use it to gauge the Home guard gunner . But I got sidetracked.)It has twin Aircraft Lewis guns.Not the Vickers K's in the picture.
Plus twenty infantry figures. To get the ball rolling.
I'm officially out of mug shots for the next wave.
So ..... ;)

Now upto seven new recruits for the next wave. Since I'm all packed and ready for York.With elephant on its way across the pond and the armour picked up.
Im at a loose end so I've started a Cavalry Carrier. For my own table. ( mainly because I dropped the armour on a mk2 universal which sent if flying across the workshop.  ::) )

Andy,
As far as I know. They'll be on release at Hammerhead on the 2nd of March. You'd have to check with Simon and Mick to see if they'll be on the website before the show.
