Mike Bravo Miniatures: Updates etc (28mm Moderns)

Since we are tossing out wish list, Korean War figs for this guy! 

[Mike Bravo Minis]

Oh gawd, a wish list...!    Hang on Andy - I thought you were the one we need to badger for Korean War??!   

Right, postie has brought me a bag of broken greens and a box of pewter figures, which on balance seems a fair trade...    (the morbid can see the poor fellows here: http://mikebravominiatures.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/what-postie-brought.html)

Over the next day or so I'll make sure they are all ok, clean them up and get them onto the production line.  I have a very basic web shop ready to roll.  This isn't a slick & polished operation yet as all cash is going towards the figures but bear with me, we're getting there!

too true! 
Actually just received a lovely book with photos, uniform dimensions, amount issued and types at least for the US forces. All in black and white mind you but covers everything from boots to issued under garments and dress gloves for award ceremonies.

A tantilising peep on the blog, looking forward to seeing them scrubbed up. Best of luck with it mate.

MEDIC!!! 

Poor buggers.. 

Nice to see them in the metal. The unseen figures look good.

[Ray Earle]

Any news yet?

Not that I'm being impatient... *taps foot*

If they are still in the NAAFI, would someone please get them on parade?

Bloodworth necked another Nescafé and pointed at the OS map on the hood of the landy.

"5 Para can get you anywhere. Adj, over to you."

The Adj looked a bit ropey but tried to be game, "Yessir......but Lenton, it's a bit iffy, Sir. Trot has it sewn up, hard ID on some jokers with blowpipe and a few psychos with Barretts in the tower blocks. Loads of enthusiasts with gympys....its....iffy."

Bloodworth's eyes narrowed, "5 Para doesn't do iffy, Adj. What's this park here? Cracking DZ."

The RSM looked at the map, "Clubhouse, lake, looks like a golf course. To me. Sir."

"A golf course! C'mon, a golf course....and one....with a hellish looking fairway on the 8th. We wake up trot with some rockets and a bit of brassing, land the toms, pile in, secure the perimeter. Captain Mystery here and his hooligans tear off and we give the fairway a work over. First light. Vertical envelopment! Death from Above! Trot doesn't golf!"

Bloodworth was off, his O Group trailing in his wake as he snapped out orders; someone had left the Jaffa cakes on the dashboard. I took the packet.

Sorry chaps, I've been stuck in N Wales for a bit with no web access.

Quick update here: http://mikebravominiatures.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/update-sorry.html

But in short: They're on their way! 

And eye candy:



(Not the clearest pic,sorry)

North Wales? No Internet? You were lucky to have electricity!   

Pre-order sounds good.

Thanks for the update. What were you thinking of? Moving house with small children?! Madness.   

[Cypher226]

Trot doesn't golf!"

 

Love it

You have to love an army in hair nets.

[Mike Bravo Minis]

You've just given me an odd vision of Norah Batty in the Caracal Battalion 

More hair nets:


(Photo is a bit rough but you get the drift)

Nearly through the sculpts for the initial 3 packs of IDF then it's African Union (I sometimes forget that they are all I ever actually intended to do.  Sigh.)

Cheers

Mission creep. Gets in the way of some of the best laid plans.

[Harry von Fleischmann]

Order in for a pack each of the Brits and balaclavas......
