40mm Mars Roman

[marko]

Hope you are having a smashing trip Eric - it has been noticeably quiet without your input.


Vietnam seems a popular vacation spot among Flat Heads - new nickname of those on this site I just made up - this year.  Interestingly I don't recall a flat representing anything from this area of the world other than perhaps a Foreign Legion figure and one small set of North Vietnamese army figures that Berliner sells.


There must be a few of South East Asian history...

No not gone to another forum just not a lot to say have been busy rebuilding the engine on the MGF after the blow up!! roof repairs and the best friend of the family, our dog Sooty becoming ill and dying with all this just nothing to say. 

But well done Charles, it looks very good so maybe a few more of the bigger stuff will be on the painting table

I have a few Mars WW1 figures in this scale. Never painted one but they are tempting!
The website is quiet. I think some members have moved to other sites.
I would hate to see the end of the BFF site so I'll make an effort (as Charles has done) to post a few pictures. The society has over 100 members (I think) so please lets keep it alive after all the hard work put in by Mark.

Ha ha yes , he does have a slightly worried expression I have not learnt the art of painting a fierce face.
I did find it an appealing figure, there is some thing toy-like about many of the 40mm figures especially the Heinrichsen sets. You don't often see Mars figures, I thought I would bring education to the masses.

I can see the attraction - this really is a charming figure. 


He appears to be wondering again why he joined the Roman army as a Centurion is giving him what for on his pilum technique.

Mark is right, it's quiet.....too quiet.
So here is something different, a Mars 40mm Roman that I bought with my last handful of coins right at the end of Kulmbach. My only ever figure larger than 30mm. Not finished yet, but I have tried to give it more contrast under the tutorship of the other Timson twin. Will post the finished figure soon I hope.
