Moving Day or Not!!

Who knew that looking for a house to buy would take so long to do. So I will be moving this coming week. No wonder why we have so many deserts the amount of paperwork that had to be signed and processed I'm sure it took a few trees to do.


Anyway all is NOT done as of yet, the Closing has been pushed back yet again, we started this roller coaster ride back in January but in the mean time I have to start my new job due to the transfer request had gone through and I have to start my new position this week. So I have to go ahead as the Advance Party!

Why because some Suit in a office in Southern California doesn't understand what a Frost Line is in Minnesota!

So it will be a while before I will be back on here, but once we get the closing done and we're settled into the new house, I will can get my gaming room set up somewhat I will be back on here in no time.

UPDATE 3/10/15; On the phone with our Realtor most of the day and made some headway, still have to head out in the morning the new job is just over two hours drive away and will have to stay in a motel nearby, GOOD NEWS is we may be closing on Friday!

Women Fighters!

For all of you Ladies out there and Gentlemen, I just received Female fighters from Peter Pig http://www.peterpig.co.uk/ under his AK47 Republic range in the Harden Militia sets. He has a great line of many figures as for these everyone needs female fighters.



Cost; 2.90 British Pounds,  about $4.44 in US Dollars not including the shipping cost, eight figures (8), a nice deal there. I ordered just one (1) set for a total of eight (8)

Shipping; Ten days from order to delivery, from the UK to the Midwest of the US. Now I did have a fair size order and will be writing about them later so breaking down shipping cost would be difficult. Minimum shipping would be for just one item would be 4.50 British Pounds about $6.89 in US. Dollars. Of course the more you order the better you fair on shipping.



Poses;  3 different poses, armed with AK47s
  • Standing Ready (3)
  • Advancing (3)
  • Firing (2)
 



 

Molding; Very little to no flash at all, some lite molding lines but very easy to clean up, bottom of the bases may need some lite filing or sanding before basing.

Game uses;
Post Apocalyptic Survivors/Gangs
Zombie Survivors
Insurgents
Street Gangs
Modern Pirates (Who don't need female Pirates)
Militias (from most anywhere around the world)

I mostly plan to use them in my Zombie games, but will also be great in my Twilight 2000 games as well, I'm really glad I found them and wanted to share this so other may obtain a few sets as well. As for the duplicates it will be tough to change much as to how they look to get a different look, one could file the head gear down some a dress it up some with Green Stuff for a full head of hair or add a knapsack. The most would be in the paint job!

If you don't have any female fighters in your group then I highly recommend getting yourself some!

More Armed Civilians

Okay so the last group of armed Civilians I did some time ago were from Old Glory UK. that set is armed with AK47s mostly and RPGs,



This group is from Peter Pig http://www.peterpig.co.uk/ and they are armed with M16s, which is great for western world game play, they are not actually civilians they are Professional Special Forces without head gear. but with the right paint job can look the part. They are from Peter Pig's AK47 Republic range (Africa during the 60s 70s and 80s) A lot of great stuff there in that range well worth a look.

Cost; 2.90 British Pounds, about $4.44 in US Dollars not including the shipping cost, eight figures (8), a nice deal. I ordered two sets for a total of sixteen figures (16).

Shipping; Put my order in and was notified when shipped ten days from notification to delivery, from the UK to the Midwest of the US. with most of the east coast hammered with snow and storms nice and fast.

Now I did have a fair size order and will be writing about them later so breaking down shipping cost would be difficult. minimum shipping would be for just one item would be 4.50 British Pounds about $6.89 in US. Dollars. Of course the more you order the better you fair on shipping.

Poses;  3 different poses, order 2 packs each pack had the same mix of poses.


  • Advancing (3)
  • Kneeling (2)
  • Signaling (3)




Molding; Almost no flash at all, some lite molding lines but very easy to clean up, bottom of the bases may need some lite filing or sanding before mounting on a base, bases on these are rather small difficult standing them up as is but basing will fix that.

Game uses;
Post Apocalyptic Survivors/Gangs
Zombie Survivors
Insurgents
Street Gangs
Modern Pirates
Militias (from most anywhere around the world)

They will make for great Survivors for almost any game of Zombies, Post Apocalyptic situation, or even a militia group as suggested above, which I plan to use them for as listed above in my gaming.

As for the duplicate figure I figure a few head swaps with head gear, Green Stuff or anything else one could add to help change the looks.
