Am a recent newbie to WW1 and amongst some of my first purchases (from a second hand dealer at a show) were a bag of Great War Miniatures Late War British Artillery Crew. The bag contained 4 lovely figures (am hooked on GWM now).
I know now that there should have been six figures for this crew and what I am wondering is…….apart from having to buy a complete set to get the two missing figures (and then having 4 I cant use) is there anyone in the UK that is prepared to break a set – better still, the person that sold the figs to the second hand dealer and then found they still had two at home, please could you step forward and own up as their buddys are missing them :)
Thanks in advance

Talk about a needle in the haystack… Good luck on this!

Do you happen to know which two you are missing? I only use four man crews for my games so could have two replacements for you…

Aye, I know it is a shot in the dark ancientsgamer but I need to try – Mick A, the 2 that appear to be missing are the guy kneeling with the megaphone and the one that sits on one of the seats of the gun (on the left as if your standing behind it.

Mick A13 Nov 2012 1:55 p.m. PST

I'll check for you when I get home from work tomorrow… :)

The ones I have are the one who sits on the right and kneeling with shoulder satchel. Let me know if they're any good to you (slight conversions may work…).

Mick, does the sitting guy have his legs together or apart, and does the kneeling guy with satchel also have megaphone to his lips ? Am assuming both have steel helmets ?

Mick A14 Nov 2012 10:58 a.m. PST

Legs apart and no megaphone… They both have peaked caps not helmets.

Ahhhhhh Early War ! Bleeped text ! Any idea if they will work for late war if I just head swap ?

Mick A14 Nov 2012 11:20 a.m. PST

They should look fine. The uniform was pretty standard through the war as far as I know…
