New 28mm Dutch range by Gothic Line Miniatures !

[Gothic Line]

 Thanks and yes I know the 1st came out in 1921 the Model I have sculpted is the 1928 one.
 I provide a bag of extra heads for use with the KNIL you can just see it in the center of the blister foto.
 Will be sculpting the Erma for sure ! Extra fire power is much needed against the German paratroopers,some sources say they had a ratio of 1 Smg for every 3 rifles.

Hello Gothic Line

As always the miniatures are great.
I have some Panzergrenadiers and Japanese infantry and they are also very nice.
Keep up the good work Gui.

Cheers

 Thanks Rumacara! Now you can field these (with a small conversion) against your Japanese!

If you have done slouch hats for KNIL, what about considering Dutch helmets with a neck cloth? I have just received the book "The Loss of Java" and a lot of pictures show troops with this style of helmet as well as the slouch hat.

As an aside the book looks good. It is an English language translation of a Dutch book published in 2005 or 2006 that I saw in a Periplus bookshop recently in Bali and bought from The Book Depository. Not as many pics as I would like but reads well so far. Attempts to dispel some of the myths of the 1942 Java campaign.

 Thank you Poitier50,that might be a good idea!
 That book must be a great read, One my my uncles was top brass in Timor when the Japanese invaded.
 I have a great book about that invasion sometime I would really like to translate it,to be sold worldwide!
 Best regards

 Thank you Poiter50 the book is quite good,really takes one back to Timor!
 Portugal was neutral, but some of the Portuguese there managed to put up a fight along with the Timorese colonial and native troops.
 Some fought with spears,bows and arrows,and the old Kropatscheck carbines.

I received my Dutch!  Thanks for some wonderful miniatures Gothic Line!

The box they were sent is was nice and secure and the miniatures themselves were all wrapped safely in bubble wrap before being placed into the blister packs, this was a wonderful touch as it meant that they didn't rattle around during their international voyage.  Postage was fairly standard for a parcel coming to Australia and took no longer than any other miniatures I have purchased from overseas.

I will definitely be getting some more and look forward to an expanded range!

[Gothic Line]

 Thanks Merinogames we do our best! Glad you like the figures!!!
 There will be more for this range soon plus some very exiting surprises!!!
