Gulf War US Infantry

I got lucky and got a few packs of these dollar store figures for around P50 each, which is pretty close to a US dollar. The figures are cast in a tan, hard plastic much like Tamiya 1:35 model kits, have a black wash and come with separate stands. These are the poses I've come across so far. They appear to be recasts of Bravo Team/Forces of Valor figures. The figures come in desert kit but nary a kneepad in sight. I can't identify the chest rigs but these could be from the First Gulf War. Anyway, they're the foundation for some 1:32 modern skirmish gaming. Most likely using our favorite FUBAR rules.

M42 40 mm Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun "Duster"

A 4D model of the armored light air-defense gun with HO army men. It's a bit offscale, having to share an underchassis with the other tanks in this line. But with army men, the scale really doesn't matter, does it?

Green Army Troops

Mucking about with some generic HO scale green army men, a diecast Bradley and an Abrams. Somewhere in Europe perhaps?

Dimestore Field Artillery

Here are a few artillery pieces in HO with some figures. The guns are pretty rudimentary and are crew by a single gunner. These came with some china-made AFVs. The standing soldier came from a micro machines set. posted from Bloggeroid

HO scale Military Camp and Helicopter Base

1:87 (HO scale) dimestore army men with two helicopters, one apparently an AH-1 Cobra gunship. All came polybagged from a couple of  army men sets.
