Title: (Commercial) 28mm Winter of '79 Previews
Post by: Mike Bravo Minis on 06 August 2016, 10:15:40 AM
We've been quiet recenrly due to work/family commitments but behind the scnes Robi has been catching up on the W79 sculpting:

Armed Civilians:

Paramilitaries:

3 more of the SAS types to be sculpted, a female civvy, and possibly another armed bobby and that'll (finally) complete the W79 BravoGoGo.   Just taken delivery of the castings for the Army & Police so those will be going out in the post to backers this week, with the above lot to follow as soon as they are cast up. 

General release pencilled in for September.

Cheers
Dan

The paramilitaries and SAS look great, but the two civvies in greatcoats with shotguns are the show stealers for me.  ;)

Sorry to hijack the thread came across a pic online and wondered if anyone on here could enlighten me it was a British Army land rover looked like it was in the seventies it had a massive sling shot on the back with two soldiers pulling it back and apologies again the pic was too large to fit on here and don't know how to resize it.

I imagine it is some sort of tear gas delivery system

That's it pal thanks. Was thinking that, when I saw it reminded me of the Churchill funnies

...that one was apaprently inspired by a Republican conversion of a Morris Minor that lobbed petrol bombs, if my hazy memory of research gone by is correct.

On topic, the W79 'full range' should be back from casters by Oct so most packs are available for pre-order with a modest discount.

Next project, Gooses Wild...
