British Soldiers

A study of war photographs will show most soldiers in very casual postures in most instances - only in death does an awful variety manifest itself. Troops march to and from the front, walk into action, (its how fast you 'hit the deck' that counts). Standing, sitting, waiting, lifting, digging, carrying - these are the activities that we reflect.

All figures and equipment are White metal castings, some with etched brass detailing. And the figures are supplied with separate heads, arms and equipment unless stated otherwise.

Heads and arms are premixed to give an overall realism and are SOLD ON THAT BASIS. For maximum variation and effects, heads and arms are interchangeable, and packs containing alternatives are sold separately.

Figures are produced with different leg positions, and this determines the model's number. For example, SMB02 is marching, left foot forward, with a rifle slung over his right shoulder and wearing a soft peaked cap. He also has FSMO, (Full Service Marching Order).

Certain figures for example SMB01 - SMB05 are also available as Lewis gunners, and here again, the model number determines the leg position.

These general principles apply to all our figures, irrespective of nationality, although obviously the equipment is particular to each army, and is supplied as such.
