1:72 U.S. Infantry


Another set of Airfix recasts I got at a local dollar-store. This time, thse are copies of the Airfix US Infantry set. The figures are pretty much the quality you'd expect from recasts, with soft details, flash and moldlines.


This set however, only has 5 poses, lacking 2 prone poses present in the original set.

    Hi,

    Not too bad considering they're recasts and at least you get the left-handed officer with the pistol too.

    How do they size up against the Airfix originals ?

    Cheers,

    John

    Hi John,

    They're a bit bigger -- not much -- but softer in detail

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
