I have been provided with a box-worth of these for painting and review. I will take the review from raw sprue to build options to completion as three to four different nations/eras. Unfortunately, I'm the World's slowest painter, but they are coming.
And Steve - They really are quite good "in the flesh", a lot of build possibilities here.
Look for the first part of the review probably by Monday. I took a full un-assembled sprue, spray primed it white and applied a light wash to highlight the detail. Then I carefully clipped parts, and using rubber cement, am assembling some of the variations for pic's. I hope to have all the pic's taken and cropped by Sunday and will post as soon as I do the write-up.
The eyes have become a "personal thing", some seem to really like them and some really don't. It seems like I see them on more and more blogs and painter's sites now, but almost always accompanied by negative comments as well.
These 28mm WSS generic figures are now available from Wargames Factory. Fill yer boots!
They look good. A little chunky in the legs maybe, but better proportioned than I expected based on the preliminary computer renderings.

Figures look OK, I would like to see pictures of the sprues though.
ReplyDeleteAs for the painting styles of the examples, I am no fan. I never paint the eyes on!
