New 1/72 Figure Sets

[archangel1]

BUM has apparently released several new boxes of figures from the FIW period.  Most of the actual figs are cast in the bendy-type plastic of the old Airfix-style figures but they also include several accessory parts (many cast in resin, according to the box tops, one of which also states the unusual fact that the war started (will start?) in 17555!) that may be useful as is or as inspiration for scratchbuilding your own.  Here's a look at the Whaleboat Rangers set, courtesy of Plastic Soldier Review.  Interesting components.









Here's a link to the rest of the boxes.  Unfortunately, a lot of the castings appear very rough and there's quite a bit of duplication amongst the various releases.
