You did a great job. Are those 1/72 scale? |

They are 1/76th scale…or HO/OO.

Nice looking figures. Make sure none of them has a Facebook page, though. |

Kewl, but who are they gonna fight? What rules do you use??? |
| Pauls Bods | 25 Apr 2011 8:12 a.m. PST |
Thanks :-D
@ Uel…these are part of my "quest" to paint every pose, of every fig set Airfix ever made. I will converty a few and make them into BUF guardsmen.
If and when I wargame, then Impetus.

Lovely paint job – it really does wonders for this ancient set. Do you have any of the marching guardsmen as well? I may have a few buried away somewhere, although I'm not sure I could paint them – my recollection is that there was a fair bit of excess plastic between the rifle and the head. Once upon a time they must have formed the basis for conversions to just about everything …. |

Thanks colkitto.
The marching guards (colour party) are here

There is a bit of extra plastic between head and rifle (neck area), but in the linked pic I have been lucky and the background makes it seem as if there is no extra plastic.

Marvellous! (I see now that I could probably have found that if I had looked a bit harder … ) |

does that mean you will paint the "Tarzan" set also, as part of your quest? |
| Pauls Bods | 17 May 2011 6:53 a.m. PST |
@ green beanie…yes, every pose…:-D

Are you pinting all airfix originals – or dom you use reissues like those from HaT ? (Who have the tarzan set IIRC) |
| 20thmaine | 25 May 2011 5:24 p.m. PST |
Which reminds me – someone somewhere must have dozens of Tarzans – I remember the jungle set being raided to provide Nubians, Numidians and Zulus ! All those unwanted lords of the jungle !  |
| Pauls Bods | 26 May 2011 4:26 a.m. PST |
I am using nothing but originals…from my own collection or where ever I can find them, friends, trade fairs, the last course being VERY expensive sometimes…so far I am missing only 2 figs, strangely enough one from the Tarzan set..the one rowing the boat.:-D
Cheers
