I want to add a small mercenary team to my modern 54mm world. Inspired by movies like dogs of war and wild geese, these 5 guys would take on small missions or be the core of a larger merc unit.

I want them to be unique characters. So here listed is the team.


Commander- " the major" . Looking to use airfix brit para officer pointing

"Oz" looking to use airfix aussie kneeling bren gunner.

"Lime" looking to use airfix brit commando kneeling bren gunner.

"Scottie" looking to use matchbox brit 8th army kneeling bren gunner.

"Jock" looking to use matchbox brit 8th army standing bren gunner.

I have AIP Arabs i would trade at a two arab to one merc ratio.

For trades send an email titled 54mm to joesmerdock@yahoo.com

Thanks

Should that be "Doggies"?

Sorry, can't help with trades.

Good Luck!

Dogeese is a blend of dog and geese as referenced to the movie titles. A. Way of combining the two.

Couple options:
1. [Buy] Try Gerardo at toysoldiersdepot.com. You'll have to email him to ask about loose figs.
2. [Buy] Try Kent at toysoldierhq.com. Check his site. You can also email him.
3. [Trade] I probably have the loose Airfix already. If I go to Heart of the South in two weeks, I'll try to get all 5 for you.

Re: gerardo and Kent- i have worked with both before and they are great.

No American? :(

Smokey- there are two Americans i have added that are already in hand but they are modern figs.

And a different manufacturer.

That's one hell of a lot of bren-guns! I probably have all these figures in my collection – if you are still looking let me know and I will dig them out for you, no trade needed.

I have failed to find the other two, sorry, but have chucked in a couple of others in compensation… Will package them up and post ASAP.

If anyone else is looking for free 54mm single figures, get in touch. I might ask for some postage though.

A special thanks to Mike Blake for helping me secure oz jock and Scottie. Check out his great reviews on toysoldiercollector.com

Still looking for major and lime.

A thank you is due to my new friend from across the pond mr les white for helping me find the major and lime. Thus my unit is assembled.

This is a great hobby and a great forum to meet new friends!

May God bless all generous gentlemen!

Missed your response – and I'd found you the other two figures too! Good to know you have what you need now.
