Hi Alan I'm guessing these are metal releases and not resin?

I agree with Matt, they have great potential for dios! British Paras deep behind German lines!

Hi Jon,

No, as far as I know they are resin. Friendship Models have a nice range of paras.

Thanks Alan,

I figured these might be metal since the detail on some of the figures looks a little soft for resin. Maybe it's just the paint job though. I'd be interested to see these in the flesh so to speak.

Hi Jon,

I don't think the pictures do them justice. Henk reviewed one of the original figures here on site:

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/review/4159

My understanding was that he was going to do the other 3 but for some reason that didn't happen.

I bought 4 of them when I was down at Duxford in 2009, they are good full bodied figures, and would fit well with the old Verlinden Paras.







I believe Ian has a range of about 8 now.

I'm waiting for Colorado Miniatures or The Red Lancers to get them in, by then, I might have room on the WB (maybe )
