For a Littleman, you do alright by me. A friend of mine has a naval background, how about some whiskyed up old sailor?

What about Guenivere, the story goes that she may not have been all the beautiful, just sexy.

This doughboy from England has just won himself a trophy. That is we assume so as it could be a souvenir. There is a distinct difference between the two. Judging from the weapon that he is carrying, that guy that belonged to the helmet he is holding, may not have stood a chance.
From my perspective, he is holding a souvenir, not a trophy. Does this guy look like he has just come out of combat, I do not think so. My guess he just picked the helmet up from the ground and is looking forward to some combat where he can satisfy his sense of manhood and collect one of these for himself. The smirk on his face says he may think that the undertaking may not be all that hard.
Only Andrea Koribanics would know the truth. This is his 54mm figure. Once again a conversion. It would be interesting to know what kit he started with and how much conversion has been accomplished on this finished model.

This should satisfy your request for some comic relief. If not we can try again. Have a nice day.

Your soldier from the trenches, did more than meet my expectations. The painter, 'creator' as you call him, Scott indeed has a very credible talent. Indeed, so intrigued am I, I may have to make an effort to attend one of these model shows to get a birds eye impression on my own. Although, my advocacy for the toy soldier hobby becomes more challenging as new products constantly hit the market.
Well, anyway, thanks.

One of my weapons of choice, middle ages, would be the cross bow. Can you find a depiction of a bowman in action. If possible, preferably a double cross bow, these had a tremendous throw length that may have exceeded a thousand yards when exercised from the walls or keep, although the killing range was much less. I check the posts on a daily basis. Being as though my request is a bit specific, I'll maintain some patience with my request.

This is one of the few figure model molds of the famous woman in question. The photo was taken from a magazine for historical modelers. This figure I do believe does justice to Guenivere. Sexy maybe but beautiful, without question. In the storyline she is not portrayed as such but King Aurthur would not have settled for anything less for his bride and console. This models dress far exceeds her facial beauty. Without a smile to judge her capacity to charm mankind, I could be mistaken. From the expression on her face she is being interviewed by Aurthur and being taken to task for her infidelity with Lancelot. If so, things will get worse, not better and the Kingdom is doomed. Need I say more.
It is time to move on to the next request 1-32 Scale. Have a nice day.

How about something in the toy soldier department. Perhaps without all the frills and bells.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. This is a 90mm conversion by Doug Conte, a respectable modeler of some repute. As a consideration for a different approach to the subject matter, how about your friend providing us with a critique of this figure. Rank, serial no. age, description and intoxication level. Something for a change and to get others involved in the process. I feel a little lonely out here on my own.
For a littleman that is intimidating. Have a nice day.
