Tsuba Miniatures: New Greens
« on: 03 January 2012, 07:03:48 PM »
First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!  ;)

My year started really well as I received a mail from Paul with photos of new greens for the RJW-Line yesterday.

First up are the photos for the next Japanese set RJ-J04 Japanese Troopers advancing:




These miniatures are meant to depict soldiers on patrol rather than during an assault as their charging comrades do. Therefore they don't have their bayonets fixed and they carry an extra piece of equipment a so called gassai-bukuro (the thing, that looks like a second bedroll or a rolled greatcoat), by western observers refered to as a 'cloth holdall'.
It was basically used as a replacement for the bulky knapsack in the field, especially when on patrol duties and such.

Here are the next four dollies for future Japanese miniatures:




And, due to popular request, the first eight Russian dollies:







As you can see, the first sets will represent rather well equipted Russian units.

Very nice indeed. How do they scale with other manufacturers?

I have no use for these chaps myself but they are very nice. ;)
Maybe I'll have to find a use for them... Pacific/Jungle skirmish may be.

Do you make Pacific theatre Australians?

WWII Aussies... Yes.

But I realised after posting that comment that these chaps are for the turn of the century. Not exactly the right era.  :-X

But they could be used for VSF or pulp gaming as well as their historical use.
