 Hello everyone here are my new figures!!!!!

Woohoo!

I have been waiting for some 28mm Dutch!  Already placed an order too!!!

The colour guide is a very nice touch and really makes the blister artwork stand out from the rest, the colour guide is a fantastic little touch.  Very much looking forward to seeing this range fleshed out!

*sigh* more stuff is hitting the market faster than I can buy IT!!!!!

Great figs!

What is the break down of the 10 figs?
Looks like
1 Bugle guy no weapon (or pistol)
1 Pistol Officer/NCO type
1 LMG
1 SMG
6 Rifles

[Poiter50]

Are there plans to expand the range with support weapons and vehicles?

[Helen]

Lovely work in releasing a much needed country.

Cheers,

Helen

Great stuff. I like the fact that there are spare KNIL heads for those wanting to fight the Japanese.

[Gothic Line]

 Thank you so much really great to see my work is appreciated!
 The range is indeed growing as we speak  Poiter50 : a Madsen LMG the Schwarzlose HMG,AT rifle and 81 Mortar plus other surprises (vehicles !)!!!

 In this blister there are the:
 1 Bugler with pistol
 1 Pistol Officer/NCO type
 1 LMG (Lewis)
 1 SMG Early design 1928 Thompson (round magazine).
 PLUS a bag containing 2 KNIL Dutch Slouch hat heads a head with the Dutch Helmet and a bare head or one with a side cap.

 6 Rifles (one carries a round magazine in a special leather pouch for the Lewis Lmg ),(the gunner has one too).

ordered a pack

Very nice, I particularly like the officer and the Lewis gunner. But I think the Thomspon only saw service against the Japanese?

[Gothic Line]

 Hello Hang Tuah,this kind of Thompson has been available since 1928,bought all around the world,either particularly,but also underwent extensive trials by several armies again all around the world,this and the fact that the Dutch did buy a a big number of them,is enough to place a Thompson in this blister.
 It is one soldier with a Thompson (one) and the rest with Manlicher rifles!
 The Dutch were invaded in a swift strategic movement,it would be normal to reach out for any automatic weapons,be it WW1 or "interwar ones",remember those pictures of Berlin in the end of the war,where lots of old unexpected equipment resurfaced : Spandaus,Ermas,Lewis machine guns and more.

Dutch didnt buy the Thompson till 1942. Only used by the KNIL.

It is possible one unit in 1940 was issued Erma SMGs.

[Gothic Line]

 In the Netherlands the Thompson did underwent trials before 1940,it has been around since 1928...2,700,000 approx. were made...

The Thompson SMGs bought by the Dutch were bought under the Lend Lease scheme which was enacted 11th March 1941.

The Thompson was produced from 1921, not 1928. That was when Federal Labs. took over production.

A figure with an Erma would be a more likely historical representation but even that is not confirmed.

Dutch sources mention an order for 150 PM Schmeisser 28 type II. This order for the Dutch navy(marines) dated
from january 1940 ! Apparently Dutch prince Bernhard used an Erma smg.
