Fuck it, the cast of AWP would make a brilliant character set or sets.

German civilians with porn ‘taches and at least one with a mullet.

I suggest Deutschland '83 for some period inspiration (okay, possibly a bit late but...).

Todays release for our 28mm BAOR range are some mounted and dismounted BAOR armoured vehicle crews.

These are designed to fit into the Empress range of 1/50 scale armoured vehicles also available.
We also have two head sets.

The M76 parachute helmet heads which was issued from 1979 replacing the old WW2 type. Also worn by Israeli and Indian paratroopers.
The famous 'Crap' Hat.

Ordered a few. mk6 helmets would be nice as well, apart from a few units in N Ireland most people still had SLRs, 58 webbing and mk6 helmets in the mid to late 80s, TA etc even into the 90s.

[AKULA]

Useful additions to the range.

 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Neat.

Those caps look weird.

Which I believe was the general view of the actual item. Unkindly described by some as the DILAC hat (Don't I Look like A C**t in this cap).

That tanky with the Sterling has, with a  bit of surgery,  become my number one candidate for an exercise umpire.

We used to call them "Tw#t hats" They've been reissued in MTP, but in the 10 years we've been wearing it I've only seen one person wearing one, he was soundly mocked for it

[carlos marighela]

Don’t worry, the Australian Army came up with something even more dire, a daft looking kepi complete with havelock. Public appearance provoked questions as to whether mummy had dressed the wearer that day. It was supposedly only for issue to armoured crews and regional surveillance units. I think that was based on the logic of out of sight, out of mind.

can anyone help

I'm looking at the empress miniatures nva range - i've read somewhere they are scaled smaller

anyone have any Eureka minis they can compare the EM minatures to?

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

The Vietnam range, note there is a Vietnam thread that may have been better to post on to save confusion  ,  is 28mm.

Its true 28mm size so not small. The figures are sculpted accuratly so that western figures such as US forces are taller than the Vietnamese figures as was, is, accurate.

The Eureka range tends to be smaller and I have heard its more 25mm but I do not own any so I will stop there. I am sure that someone will be along to give exact comparison between Empress and Eureka.
