I'm hoping it's just the dire paint jobs & underneath, they're actually nice figures.

Glad you like them my friend.

Ha, ha ARmand – did you actually read the comments? (…or were you being ironic?).

BUM never seemed a more appropriate company moniker.laugh

I'm sure BUM must mean something complimentary in Spanish.
In English, BUM is just a euphemism for something more scatological.

you bother me like women.

Well, that's the last time I slip into my Little Black Dress to contribute to TMP.

How did you know……

I have found BUM figures to be … a bummer. Nice choice for a range of figures though. Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorite movies of all time!

Tango0125 Jun 2016 11:19 a.m. PST

Ironic of course… (smile)

One of those "nice somebody did something, but…..why did it have to be THEM????" moments.

Do you think they actually PAID someone to slap that crappy paint on their figures for the cover photos??

The strelets Lawrence sets lo K more promising so all is not lost.

And that "bother me like women" comment. Is that q guy suffering from the bug or what? No idea what he meant by his response, but it seemed sexist and unnecessary on a toy soldier forum

I'd rather they not show the paint job…just dip them in varnish….

That being said that line is a great idea.

@ Marc

It should read, "you trouble me like women" & is a quote from the film 'Lawrence of Arabia'.

Doesn´t it stand for Barcelona Universal Models?
Is this another way of describing a builders décolleté ?

Is Richard Clarke moonlighting in Spain?
