He looks a bit of a Games Workshop capitalist running dog to me comrade. ;)

lol It does look like a 70's Minifigs flag-telegraph pole.

Post by: former user on 20 August 2010, 08:23:13 PM: I mean, there are thin steel rods or spears and thin drills available....
I've done this in the 90ies...

spoils the quality of the paintjob IMHO

Post by: majorsmith on 20 August 2010, 08:58:45 PM: With regards to the flagpole, it's cast onto the figure and looked a real bugger to remove without wrecking the figure! I would of replaced it, I don't know why copplestone cast it to the figure to be honest, thanks for the comments guys, does anyone know where to get soviet flags? And aircraft decals too please! ;)

Post by: Steve F on 20 August 2010, 10:12:22 PM: The supposed flagpole is, in fact, a long cardboard tube, with the flag rolled up inside it for safekeeping.

Same with me, love them, but I wish they were a bit more Neo and a touch less emphasis on the Soviet. Thats why I have a set unpainted, but eventually I'll paint up as Zaporskiye Brigade no doubt.
