Black Army Models released two new figures in 1/35 scale depicting soldiers from modern wars. The figures are not national specific, making them suitable for wars from 80s to present day.

I like this brand, but they are not overly prolific. Those two figures would work well for my Croatian Land Rover ambulance project!

They both have a lot of potential. Love Mr Wooly-Pully in particular.

Does his head seem perhaps too large in proportion to his body? Might need to see how a Hornet replacement looks here before I would commit to purchase? I do appreciate and admire the range of modern subjects offered. Some are most unusual like the earlier products from this vendor.

The figure works out to about 6 heads tall. Well within normal human proportions. He's thick set and appears middle aged which means he could have shrunk a couple of inches from his younger days. A very nice change from the typical clean cut in the flower of youth figure we usually see.

The sitting one looks like Charlie Sheen in Navy Seals. Winning!

The bodies are okay but the planes and angles on the faces are startling. As in not good. Unless you really want ugly as the theme.

that's why I like these guys. There aren't enough ugly figures around. Hornet should do an ugly guy head set. Saggy, middle-aged or bone-tired faces.
The guy in the sweater looks exactly like one of my old co-workers. Though he needs to be holding a cigarette.

OMG! Really. Sorry BAM but you should stop while your ahead. How can you think your figures are even close to what's being produced today. Fail!

Better than I can sculpt and pricepoint is a major factor.
