Pretty much much sums them up!

The Cold War range of British to be released soon covers TA type figures.

That’s an interesting read .

Here are some RUC I have painted . The figures are useful for other types of armed police , border guards etc etc …

SAS / Corps Recce Patrol / Honourable Artillery Company

Loads of uses for these figures throughout the Cold War period : 28mm 1st Corps Miniatures:

14 Int ( The Det ) / MRF / Under Cover Police …. pretty much anything really

Converted a couple of the 1st Corps figures into troops wearing turtle helmet with visors. I wanted a clear view to see the faces through so came up with the idea of using womens acrylic nails . They can be cut in half . A little strip made at top and painted gun metal and ….

Mounted in Landies as top cover sentries …

The acrylic nails idea is brilliant!. Consider that stolen, along with any acrylic nails my daughter is foolish enough to leave unguarded.

I like the look of this range. No plans to game Norn Irn, at least anything bearing much resemblance to actual events* but the figures will be useful in other settings.

Do we know what's on the menu for the Cold War range? Any opposition?

* My 1960s British Army might get a run at their Irish Army counterparts in a what-if.

Bit surprised they didn't arm the RUC with Mini-14s. the SLR is quite correct but the Mini-14 is probably the more iconic weapon for the RUC.

The Cold War range , painted beautifully by Dags, will be supported by a range of Warsaw Pact troops as I understand it . 👍

Yes, the M1 Carbine and a Sterling SMG armed RUC would be cracking!

My main focus is Winter of ‘79 for which these will all do very nicely . Currently watching The Guardians (1971) on YouTube to get even more ideas!
