they look lovely, what scale/size - true 28mm? Does 'scuplted by Ebob' mean you're Mr Ebob?

Absolutely excellent.
The subject matter doesn't do anything for me, but by god - the sculpting!
You can tell they're by eBob. The man really is an artist.
Truthfully, most wargames figures sculptors - yes, even the ones we all love - actually create figures that are to a greater or lesser extent squat munchkins and / or caricatures.

But eBob...

eBob sculpts beautiful, correctly proportioned, dynamically posed little human beings.
He may not turn stuff out quickly, but by golly it's always brilliant.

Those are superb! The proportions are very natural, rather than the usual caricature 28mm, so I hope they will fit in with other ranges.

I'm also not a fan of the subject matter, but would happily use them in a "Firefly" type sci-fi setting. They'd make great "low-tech" militia, corporate guards, police etc.

I'm using /Hasslefree, Heresy, Copplestone etc together, so as long as they are not smaller than HF, these should mix in OK  :D

I'm very pleased with his work on them, the man is an artist for sure,
they look like little people on my table :)

Being asians (ie slightly smaller in stature irl) they look pretty good with more robust caucasians etc from mongrel and the likes. :)
I will post some comparisonpics later, need a cameraman first =)

Lovely figures!

But are you going to do any less lively figures? These are all in "battle action" poses.

I've been looking for modern PLA for a project (a SG team based on Security Council nations), and more "patrol-ly" type figures would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise its back to Battelfield Evolution for me...  :-[

Hi Gundamentalist

Hopefully interest in these is good enough so i can add more sets in various poses later, including patrol-ly :)

Really nice as the otehrs have said and very realistic poses, full of movement. :)

The weapons were made specifically for these figures
If you need weapons for conversions on your own figures i'd suggest taking a look at TAG or hasslefree,
they both sell packs with modern weapons :)
