since the boys are standing at attention, you think it would be possible to separate the right arm from the body up to over the elbow and bend it slightly forward so that the hand can grip the rifle?

Good question - i'm not saying it would be impossible, but they are really tiny figures, and even if you could do that I think it would be more trouble than it would be worth.

Both hands are clenched, and too small to drill, so I reckon you'd still need to redo the hand with greenstuff.

There was an attempt to create a youth movement. It was called the Mosley Youth, presumably following the example of the Hitler Youth.

so the miniatures are even in line with history
Yup, the battalion looks pretty scary and disturbing, I agree

but I guess that's part of the Art, making little lead people look very real

again, good job!

The BUF cadets are slightly less disturbing than the thought of the Anglicans arming the Boy's Brigade.

"What would Jesus do Vicar?"
"He'd wait until the main body was at 300 yards and open up with the Vickers Roderick."

Those scouts are a great find and turned out very well! I have been using the Perry adult figs for a couple of years after I saw how well they fit with Musketeer IWI range.

Great for conversions. I guess when the Perry's made this range public, they added the scouts. I gots to get me some now.

I do not know the reference to the "Bergmans from Bungle" Can anyone explain this. Thanks

Bungle is one of the forum members. It would appear that he provided Akula with the Bergman SMGs that some of the figures are holding, and Akula was acknowledging this fact in his post. Simples!

haha

since I was born in a certain country where someone's picture was hanging on the wall in classroom and not a cross, I even had the pleasure of doing such preparation, though I don't remember the bayonet exercise, only the marching.

and we did not have such spiffing uniforms....

imagine how my stomach turned upside down when I saw these pics....

I was born in a country that had some similar experience. We had a picture hanging from the wall with a bunch of ridiculous persons, who tried with smart uniforms to seduce kids, but we had not the pleasure for bayonet exercise and such things. We had to practice by our own in the arts of resistance!

but I understand the feeling

Anyhow its an interesting unit with a good paintjob

former user · « **Reply #28 on:** October 30, 2009, 12:46:44 AM »

nono, there was no bayonet exercise, at least not at my age then.

speaks for the quality of the paintjob, when the figures are able to evoke such memories

No, problem!

You are more lucky than I was!
