As per the subject how many people here also collect 1/6th scale figures and the line of static 1/6th plastic vehicle kits that DML make?

Hi Pete,

I do mate and I used to be on the Onesixth.co.uk, but I couldn't keep up with modelling and forums so my account was dropped.

Some of my British figures here http://paulstiger1.co.uk/figures.htm

German figures

just my crew

Hi Colin,

Really nice figures, are they Tony Barton head sculpts or something you've done your self?

Paul.

some of the old figures looked a bit like toys sat in the models but these are in a different league, very realistic, the quality of the faces is outstanding, i can see why they are collectible, thanks for the posts, regards simon manning

Is that Ed Harris ?

Here are some of mine.

A few pics of some of my guys:

Some very nice figure there guys, and great vehicles too! Is the Schwimmer a DML vehicle or is it one of the Chinese metal versions?

Paul, I really like your Brits mate, fantastic looking and I do like the bomb, where'd that come from? I can't see your login over at OneSixth Uk so I guess you never posted anything over there? If you register but don't post then your account gets deleted after about a month, especially if you're not visiting as well! You'll have missed the 1/6th scale Bailey Pontoon Bridge being built over there then



Armortek should give some thought to a small British vehicle such as a Humber Scout car, now that would be cool...

hi paul/simon

yes they are tony bartons I wish I had the talent to do them my self I have six blanks sitting in a box must be two years now waiting for me to start on them its the damn eyes that that never seem to be right. figure head sculpts on the newer ones are getting better.

its a pity tony does not paint them any more they were well worth the extra few bob

Hello chaps

Well there's two thoughts on that. There's someone who takes out of the box to aid their diorama and others that keep them boxed up. For me I now keep in the boxes now. I am always on the look out for ones I haven't got. Eventually you end up with some rare pieces like zundap bikes and 2cm with trailer. Still some piece illude me like the German sentry with sentry box.

Hi Lee,

I only buy the 3R and DID parade figures boxed now, I just wish they would do some of ours. A nice Life Guard or Blues & Royals with breat plates and regimental colours would win my vote All my other figures are kit bashed with, and I will say it this way , with what I think is the correct uniforms and insignia.

Pete,

Thanks for the comments on the Brits, I am really chuffed with the John Firth figure. The bomb cam from eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Quanum-RTR ... 1e86283d96

OneSixth Uk, Yeah you guest'd right I never got time to post anything so it was deleted. my good friend AB64 wanted to help me reactivate it but I just don't have time to keep it up. I could do with a Guest account but then I wouldn't contribute much and that's what this hobby is all about. thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look at the Bailey Pontoon Bridge, sounds

Some more of mine
Paul.

Fantastic looking figures mate, now if you had posted those over there you'd have gotten loads of feedback and your account would have been locked in! I know AB64, (internetly at least) a helluva nice bloke! But I do know what you mean about forums, you're either doing the hobby or wasting time on forums. Make yourself a home forum and then pay occasional trips to a few others, that's how I do it these days!

Thanks for the link to the bomb I may have to get one of those and copy your ideas for the UXB team (Imitation, the sincerest form of flattery mate, LOL)

EDIT: link to the Bailey Pontoon Bridge here...

I'm a small collector of these figurines and static vehicles too. especially of the willy's. I have 4 now of which one still nib but who will be converted in a Belgian SAS willy's. anyways, a small view of some of my "guys":





















But sometimes, these guys are really up to no good:
