Swedish Interwar 28mm Infantry 1910-1939

Here's it's cousin in Callao, Peru and yes they are quite dinky. Who made the 28mm version?

I'd say Hammers's commander figure would be nicknamed 'Too Tall' or something, as he's slightly outsize... but yes, these were small machines.

'Lofty' Lundquist?

Thanks for the uniform link  Pocoloco.

No it was not that small, relatively. The tank is 1/56, I believe the mini is an Artizan sized 28mm, which means "relatively pretty big" in a wargames miniature context.

Good point. Well spotted. I shall exchange it for a smaller bereted miniature.

'Lofty' Lundquist?

"Lången" is the rather unwitty nickname to people of hight. Långe Jan, Flaggstången, Stören, Lillen are others

good question, I have forgotten. I think it may have been that British company specializing in early WWII...

I don't think it's that big a deal... tanks are one size fits all, whereas people vary. While tank units often look for 'smaller' recruits, a few large people slip through. I once saw a guy in a Scimitar, who looked like he could stick his feet through the bottom and wear it.

Well, for the record, I'm five foot ten and I was probably about fifteen feet from the bugger. The arm just visible on the left was probably that of the seventeen year old Peruvian, who, with his girlfriend, was inescapable, as they only let you visit as part of a tour. Being Peruvian I'd guess he was anywhere between five foot four and and about five foot six, which seems to cover about 90% of the population. Not a teeny tank but not overwhelming either.
 

Incidentally, the camo pattern on the tank seems to tally pretty well with the couple of photos I've found of them during the 1941 invasion of Ecuador.


I'm guessing that Hammer's version is probably the old Chieftain miniatures version.
