Mark’s Little Soldiers

 I have become enamoured recently with Mark Copplestone’s forthcoming retro range of figures-

And finally the release schedule-

I have followed Mark on Instagram and enjoyed his journey towards production via creating imaginations and imaginary retro wargames. He has done so with great creativity, interesting terrain ideas and fun too.

It is lovely to see such a project mainstream in the hobby and eagerly anticipated too. I wish Mark well in this venture.

I have succumbed to these elegant, faux retro figures via the pre order and await their arrival enthusiastically.

Come on in the water is lovely !

    I have my order in! Just considering options for uniforms. Possibly something in khaki for the 'berglanders' so they don't look so obviously German and Russian uniform green for the 'Pannonians'. Still pondering names and background for my new 1930s imagi-nations, possibly Sylvania and Vulgaria. A disputed border will be the point of friction between the two.

      Like the idea of the uniforms and will be interesting to see what names you choose.

    A wise move which I am sure will give you hours of joy (I am still resisting following).
    The camouflaged bunker that you show was what I was pretty much thinking of when adapting our family old dead patterned Roberts digital radio into a gun emplacement - as you do. https://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/2018/10/14/from-old-digital-radio-to-54mm-houses-and-coastal-gun-emplacement/

    I am resisting (for the moment) as I have so many other projects to finish and get on the table. But I do really like the loo of the figures and the whole style of the games.

      I too was taken in by the design, look and concept. Something so different and such splendid fun.

    Is the middle pic re-enactors. They look a bit podgy for soldiers. :0)

      I assume they are. Perhaps they are just reservists:)

    Looks like a promising lead for 'present to self' at Christmas.

    I think I may resist! Feel I have so many 1930s figures and unfinished Copplestone projects.
