Flags are transfers.  Company B I think.

These look really smart. I have just opened my TAG Marines which are of the same quality-they also arrived next day...how do companies do that??

Will the TAG marines be OK with the Somalia era pattern on them??

Thanks

Sorry - I don't know.

One of these figures is actually a conversion from a Marine.  Guy with the SAW.  Head swap and greenstuff knee pads.

The paintjob is really good. And I am going to steal that flag transfer idea.

But there is something about the massive weapons and ginormous hands on those TAG minis that is somewhat offputting.

By all means.  I borrowed the idea from Agis.   ::)  Link (http://www.agisn.de/html/tag_rangers.html)

Are the hands too big for the bodies, or the bodies too small for the hands?   ???  ::)
It's just sculpting style.  And who else comes close to their range of Modern stuff?  (I must buy some of their African militia-types.)

Indeed. Those miniatures look so very good. But i am a big fan of TAG miniatures and, time & money permitting, would start a WW2 Burma project with miniatures from TAG. ;-)
