Imagine my surprise when I looked at the DML forum yesterday:



It must be freezing in hell and I am sure I saw a pig fly.

Most welcome figures though

As said, a very welcome set of figures. The look great in their great coats, and many ideas spring to mind.
Im wondering about the last chap out ... whats he gonna do with a pipe .. smoke out the opposition? Canīt really think of anything off-hand, where one one would need a running pipe smoker.

The pipe smoker is obviously the spotter for the guy with the LMG and he uses the pipe to point at the oncoming target

Nope.
Hell keeps flaming, and pigs ainīt got no wings. And that will remain unchanged until a major company releases a set of Carlist volunteers of the Spanish Civil War, or Kuomingtang infantry for the Sino-Japanese war, or White infantry of the Finnish Civil War, or... Hey, what about some DECENT sets for WWI? And I am limiting to XXth century.

Seriously, I wonder why 1/35 injected plastic figures are so boringly centered on WW2 and post-WW2. Isnīt there any interest in ANY of the previous centuries? Will those be forever limited to ultra-expensive cast metal or resin, or those (imho) cheap, disgusting odd-scaled one-piece flexible plastic dummies?
