I picked up these chaps the other day. They are old and quite nice. They are Strombecker 1/32 scale figures made of zinc. I had thought they were hollow - but it turns out that they not.
My protestations that I'm not collecting a 1/32 scale army don't seem to be up to much.
Quick blast of white spray and a lick of gloss paint should do nicely.
Interesting figures, never heard of that firm before, should look nice painted, Tony
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping.
DeleteExcellent - I think they are rather better than quite nice - lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteI hope I will be able to do them justice.
DeleteOh I say those are rather splendid.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteThose look wonderful - I can see why you had to have them!
ReplyDeleteI have what is called a "strong weakness" for them alright.
DeleteNice! This group sets the stage for the production of a nifty vignette.
ReplyDeleteI will get to it. Yet another iron in the fire.
DeleteWhat a find! I've never heard of this particular make of military miniatures.

Me either, but I thought it was worth a punt.
DeleteAbout 1968, I bought a set of George Washington and a Continental Artillery piece and crew. I still have them today. They came in the same style of box. Nice find, sir!
ReplyDeleteThe boxes are rather good aren't they?
DeleteSplendid figures what!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Steve. That company was better known for their race car sets in 1/32nd scale. There were only 4-5 sets out, made of zinc and esch set was meant to be a small vingette. IIRC, they were under $5.00USD per set at the time. Pitty nobody has brought them back.
ReplyDeleteTom
I shall be sure to get the most out of this one.
DeleteFond memories of my youth.
ReplyDeleteGlad to bring a pleasant memory Ross.
