Title: 28mm Photographer?
Post by: orm1 on 24 October 2014, 09:00:17 PM

Anyone know if anyone sells 28mm modern photographers, I ordered one from Black Cat Bases but have since discovered that they are either taking months to dispatch orders if at all so I'm not holding my breath.

So I'm looking for alternatives.

Cheers

Not seen them before very nice. I certain I've seen another photographer but just can't remember where. It's for a game set in the seventies.

My memory may be playing tricks, but didn't Old Glory once do a Vietnam range, including a photographer in one of the packs?  If so, it isn't on their US site any more (the UK site is down) - only boats come up if you search for "Vietnam".

I think the '60s photographer is from West Wind's Nam range (which was sold in the US by Old Glory)

I think the top left one in that is a cameraman as in TV camera. Mine is similar but with a Leica/Rolex (insert maker) style still camera.

What you need for today is a person holding an iPad up in the air and another taking a selfie on an iPhone.

Dear Golgotha,

I think you're right, Bogdanwaz - that's the one I remembered.

We at FoA do a reporter and a combat photographer, if you're still interested.

As usual late to the party!

Interesting to see that Bolt Action have just added a reporter/correspondent to their army lists.
