Got sent some previews of TSG's cold war Brits (that you might have seen in his WIP thread) - I love colouring in Mark's minis; they might not be the 'best' technically but they ooze character and an old-school charm. There's apparently another pack to come as well and, I think, they're being released this coming weekend.....

Where can these be bought?

Where can these be bought?
1st Corp (when they're released)
-
Love these and love the colouring in! :-*
-
Lovely paint job on some terrific sculpts , full of character and animation.
I have checked with 1st Corps and they are not due for imminent release - update asap.
They did explain that their new ‘ Internal Security’ range in 28mm are due for release at the end of this month , October ‘23. I have painted these figures and for those who miss the Mike Bravo range - these are better in my opinion. 👍😬👍
-
Very nice brushwork indeed!
-
These look cool, makes me wonder what else 1st corps has coming out?
-
A new range of Internal Security figures for the ‘Cold War ‘ period: SAS , Squaddies, x Rays , RUC , 14 Int etc etc … released end of this month!!
Worth noting that the BAOR range has different head gear available .👍
-
I need these for my 1970s post-apocalyptic games. Hope a Bren gets included in the range
-
These look great. I guess they will go well with the old Mongrel Cold War Brits.
-
Good question that - how do they compare to the Mongrel range? I’ve a few of those too…
-
Those were (very) early Paul Hicks sculpts, yes? If so, these are a bit bigger all round but similar proportions. So, imo, fine on the same table but not in the same unit.
In other news, received the last 4 this morning; got a lot on this week but will try and find time to colour them in.
-
That’s good, thank you and yes, I think that Mr Hicks did them. Iirc the Mike Bravo figs were much beefier, hence my concern
-
Out now 8)
-
These are just great 8)
And in fact, with a headswap to some with GI pots and/or berets on, they would do almost perfectly as Dutch infantry in the early nineties. The webbing is a bit off and the Sterling needs swapping out for an UZI (don't know what to do with the marksman rifle though), but other than that, they're perfect!
I've always wanted to recreate this short period of time in which we were still using old weapons and helmets, but were already fielding newer uniforms and webbing; the change from a large conscript army to a small professional one. It lasted only a couple of years (so would be of no interest whatsoever for any sculptor) but it was the time I walked in those boots, so of special interest to myself... :D
-
Last pack and all 20 together....

I've had a blast painting these but I'm unlikely to do anything with them so if anybody is interested feel free to make me an offer ;)
-
They look cracking (as per).
Any idea how they scale with Crooked Dice and other ranges?
Cheers
-
Nothing to hand to do a comparison shot but, as far as CD goes, pretty well, especially with any of their Mark Evans sculpts.
-
Cheers - I guess I'll have to order a couple of packs lol
If nothing else they can be TA/reservists with deep reserve kit for my twilight 2k game
