Irregular. A rather fine 'march attack' pose.
Generic. Imagi-war, late 19th Century - pre-1914 period. Somewhere Mittel Europa, or Balkans (no, no, not England in the early 21st century!)
And...
This first rate artillery officer, in classic toy soldier pose.
That is a classic pose Stephen. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteYes, if one was so inclined it would be possible to build a great collection of binoculars/arm up officer poses.
DeleteNice figures - I'm a big fan of Irregular 42mm
ReplyDeleteYes, they've got that spirit of the old school, but often with enough detail to be painted up in a modern fashion. Top banana!
DeleteGreat looking unit and I would like to see a photo of one of your chaps beside the Guinness steam lorry.What make is the steam lorry by the way?I too have been thinking of 40/42mm figures of late and have taken the plunge.Table top rather than floor Little Wars is the order of the day at present I feel.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Alan. It's a Matchbox, from the mid-1980s - plenty on ebay. Table top is just the ticket - no bad back/knees, you can leave the set up out, and the terrible 'foot mortar' is no longer a danger to the figures.
DeleteI do like that brown and blue combo. Reminds me of swoppet Confederates in butternut.
ReplyDeleteLike the lorries too!
I hadn't thought of that ! Although I was really a cowboy type - too much High Chapperall, The Virginian etc etc
