From TimG - 1/32 WW2 Brits
Lowering the alarmingly high standards of paintwork on this blog is this batch of WW2 Brits for North Africa. These chaps are a mix of Airfix, Matchbox and Timpo plastic figures. They’re daubed to my usual ‘toy soldier’ style so it’s best not to look too closely at the photos!

These are perfectly serviceable for silly garden games played by sillier old men in goofy hats. Well done
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Takes me back to my childhood, I remember many of those figures!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with your figures Sir, they take me right down memory lane and as such I thank you for posting them!

ReplyDeleteThe nostalgia is a big part of the appeal!
I must still have some of these up in the attic! If this is your idea of lowering the standards I can’t wait to hit rock bottom, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteLovely figures and woosh I'm back in the 1970s!

ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much the only scale I paint nowadays.
Great looking toy soldiers, well done.
ReplyDeleteOooh, these bring back good memories of titanic battles on rumpled bedspreads. Nicely done Tim.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tim.

ReplyDeleteI know! Many of my originals gradually ‘deserted’ in the garden.

ReplyDeleteThanks Ray.
Classic! Those 1/32 8th Army were some of my first figures.
