S.A.S.



On display are four 1:32 S.A.S. troopers, or least I believe they are. No marks are visible on the stands and I can't find any reference of these as either originals or recasts of another brand. The sculpting is very soft on details with guns being very rudimentary, especially the figure holding a pistol that looks more like a hotdog sandwich. Two figures wearing balaclavas and tactical face masks/armor, one standing and another kneeling, carry what seem to be MP5s. The fourth is carrying a shotgun and seems to be wearing a gas mask.





Not an impressive set but one of the few post WW2/Modern figure sets I own. I'm currently painting another set of these figures and hopefully, they'll come out better looking. As is, they'll make good S.A.S., SWAT or anti-terrorist forces for a modern skirmish game.

HäT Industrie 1:72 Polybian Roman Army

I'm a fan of HäT Industrie's small-scale figures and soon decided that I needed an army of their Polybian Romans. I mean -- who doesn't need an army or two? My Polybian legion is currently composed of various HäT Industrie 1/72 plastic scale models. The company is a designer & manufacturer of 1/72 and 1/32 scale soft plastic and 28mm hard plastic military miniatures designed with the plastic toy figure collector, wargamer or hobbyist in mind. I've included notes taken from Wiki regarding the figures depicted. The Polybian legions of the early Roman republic was a manipular army whose structure was based partially upon social class and partially upon age and military experience. The army is based on units called maniples (Latin manipulus singular, manipuli plural, from manus, "the hand"). Maniples were units of 120 men each drawn from a single infantry class. The maniples were small enough to permit tactical movement of individual infantry units
