No longer an urgent need for help.

And so the first batch of nine of His Majesty's Sailors is ready. Photo of these will be posted soon in a forum near you

Are they the Regiment Games figures? Just a guess.

Poly, I remember Peder showing them off in the latest miniatures received thread. They are really nice figures and designed by Mr Richard Ansell. So I'm guessing thats them

[Plynkes]

Yes, I have them too. I bought them with a mind to use in a Great War setting (as they are wearing what appears to be '08 Pattern webbing), minus the Bren and Tommy gun-wielding fellows, of course.

They are Regimental mini and I bought the lot. I painted the khaki drill with I think is right. (Bloody Mollo for not spelling it out).

I redid my conversion attempts of the Brens to Lewises, just because I want to use the sailors for a wider window, and I am happyish with the result. They are next in line. I did the riflemen first since they are least inspiring (yes, there are ways to trick yourself). They are armed with SMLE Mark III, aren't they, Plynkes?

Don't ask me, I ain't any kind of a gun nut!  ::

They're Lee-Enfields as far as I'm concerned, and that's as much as I need to know.


I'm quite pleased with the officers, as good early 20th Century types of that sort are a bit thin on the ground. They may well find themselves serving in more than one Navy.

Can't say I am a gun nut either . Not that I care much but if they are Rifle No 4 rather than Mark III they wouldn't be as suitable for pre-WWII gaming. They are very similar but look a bit different arround the muzzle.
