"The Gray Army has acquired Mechanized Cavalry!" Topic

I visited the Tim-Mee website, and I could not resist the chance to buy nine Gray Tanks. My Gray Army has never had Mechanized Cavalry, before. They have everything else. I Carpe' Diem'd the opportunity. Now I need to see if I can locate my peel-n-stick letters and numbers I used, 20 years ago, on my Green and Tan Tanks! After I apply the ID letters/numbers, and perhaps add a touch of paint to them, I will brush on The Dip Technique -- Royal Walnut, or some other dark brown color, to give them a rough-and-ready appearance, like the Green and the Tan Tanks.

Slowly, very slowly, I am gearing back up to run more Plastic Wars Army Men games again. Hoping to run some games for Police and children, as a part of the local Community Education program: let the local Police Officers play Army Men games with local children, to build rapport with them, and their parents. Cheers!

Yes. The plastic they used is harder than typical Army Men plastic -- it feels like it might snap if flexed too far. Looking forward to seeing how paint/urethane stain adheres to it.

I drilled a hole in an old Marx plastic Viking figure's hand tonight: he'd been fully craft painted a couple of years ago; the acrylic paint came off like a molted skin, due to flexing. This Viking is made of much softer, less brittle feeling, plastic. I inserted the wire spear in his hand, but he needs a bit of fresh paint… Cheers!
