Japanese Soldier

An old Airfix 1:32 Japanese soldier I painted and based. It was part of a diorama vignette set in Manila during World War 2 and this picture was scanned from a print. The photo was taken before the avaibility of digital cameras. Sadly, I've since lost this piece when we moved.

    I used to have a set of 1:32 Japanese soldiers about 22 years ago. They were actually ORANGE and some had bayonets protruding from the rifles. Tough usage as a kid left me without any left.

      Also this is a great site! Plastic soldiering is great and not many people have good information on them.

This is the latest reissue of their classic Deutsche Afrika Korps, the German expeditionary force in Libya and Tunisia during the North African Campaign of World War II. The box contains 14 figures.

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
