Title: Cold weather figures , Skidoo,and Gyrocopter.
Post by: tin shed gamer on January 23, 2019, 12:09:42 PM: Whilst tidying my workshop this morning I found the handle bars for the skidoo on the floor so I figured . If I had to repackage the master's then I might as well take a couple of pictures whilst I check all the parts are there.

Mark.

Me to! Gyrocopter is very 007. I would have liked these figures when I did my “Snowfall” project a few years back.

The last four are designed to work as dynamic poses on foot and on skis . Actually most will work with skis.
The Gyrocopter pilot is designed to easily have its head swaped / converted. (No doubt once Chris gets his hands on it .It'll end up being flown by a bunny) .

Leadboy,
Unlike the Home Guard figures you liked. These are not for 1st Corps. They're in fact for Sally 4th.

The outer figures leaning with pistol and SLR really should have given the game away about skiing. Perfect poses for a bit alpine ski chase action!

Post by: Chris Abbey on January 24, 2019, 04:36:37 PM: Yes, Mark has done a fantastic job on these, and they are of course destined to join our 'Classic Movie Miniatures Range', via a quick Kick starter that might include a few more pieces of Cold / Spy-Fi goodness and some matching terrain. I should be picking up the masters on Sunday at Vapnartak, very exciting.

But (a bit slow on the uptake) what does IGY mean?
