Great paintjobs, I especially like the subtle brown tweed pattern on the flat-capped guy 2nd from left.

I have to admit I don't recognize any of the figures except the chap on the far left with the BAR, who I know is by Copplestone. Who makes the rest of them?

I'd never really looked at that Chinese Bandits pack (China tempts, but must be avoided for now to protect my wallet and my sanity...) but it's a great pack for armed flunkies and locally-hired assistants too, isn't it?

After all, the line between "scruffy local guide" and "scruffy local bandit" can be very thin, and sometimes depend on the length of time since you last paid the guy...

Great PJ!

I REALLY need to buy MORE Copplestone figs (even if I have several still unpaited).

Thanks for sharing.
