All this years training were not in vain! :D :D<br />And technically, it's not even a rifle but a PDW, which, in turn, isn't a submachine gun, either :P. <br /><br />I did see the WWZ and I remember the scene where the knife was used now that you've mentioned it, but I can't remember the exact knife- on-rifle thing lol. Still, a very great idea. <br /><br />As for your comment lower, regarding the conversions...keep in mind more options is more complications and more complications is more cost. But I totally agree with easy-to-convert miniatures, I always dream about those! :DMathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-39028742273598780192014-03-26T16:28:09.381+00:002014-03-26T16:28:09.381+00:00Good to here you're getting better (and taller...Good to here you're getting better (and taller!)lrqanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317347167166315984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-8243978802373385892014-03-26T15:39:10.272+00:002014-03-26T15:39:10.272+00:00Thank you, Bob.

Heads, weapons and magazine all snip off quite easily (the head can be a bit fiddly mind) as I wanted people (and myself to have that option). I will be posting some pics up on the blog this week to show a little of what can be done by the enterprising hobbyist.<br /><br />It is with that same philosophy that I've designed one of my upcoming minis. His gun will be separate and can be replaced by simply dropping another one of your choosing into his hand. This is an avenue I would like to continue to explore as there are some amazing bitz out there. hunterpesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909613437381488235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-83438471778001280732014-03-26T15:11:23.108+00:002014-03-26T15:11:23.108+00:00I think they are all pretty cool, Bob.

I recently went for a check up at my local hospital and got a glowing report from the doctor on my health. That made me feel ten feet tall! I don't have to go back for another three months.<br /><br />There is a LOT of good stuff in HRTH and well done to you for preparing a model of the building, I am very much looking forward to seeing how it develops. It is something I'd like to do but with so many other things on the go, it'll probably just stay in the planning stage.

I really need to get a good reference book of modern day firearms. I used to be really good at weapon recognition but a lot of modern stuff has passed me by. I totally agree with your comment about the mercs from Resident Evil: Apocalypse. <br /><br />Also, good news about the backpacks. I'm sorry, I thought they only came with orders for all five figures. My bad!

About FFO-HRTH: I was initially dubious about it but I have to say that on reading the rules I was turned around. They are a great addition to the series. Plenty of ideas and concepts. I'm currently working on some thoughts to convert it to my 1920's era as a parallel campaign to the Zed Street Blues. It may take time as I'm designing a High Rise (in cardboard tiles) a bit similar to an old school D and D layout.Quite exciting, well it's exciting me. :-) PS how you coming on?lrqanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317347167166315984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-71511212589314270502014-03-26T14:23:26.036+00:002014-03-26T14:23:26.036+00:00Oh, you'll also get a free piece of luggage wi...Oh, you'll also get a free piece of luggage with each model/set so even single minis come with something. <br /><br />There will be more miscellaneous items coming soon as freebies and the luggage/backpacks will be coming out soon as a stand alone set too. hunterpesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909613437381488235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-71614599916551109632014-03-26T14:21:16.008+00:002014-03-26T14:21:16.008+00:00The security boys are a little big but all 5 would...The security boys are a little big but all 5 would be very useful and nice work by the sculptor.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-37929243456934702022014-03-26T14:20:40.868+00:002014-03-26T14:20:40.868+00:00Thank you very much for the comments and for a gre...Thank you very much for the comments and for a great review, Bryan.<br /><br />To confirm, the P-Sec SMGs are indeed based on MP7s...or rather my memory of MP7s from my Rainbow Six: Vegas days. As for distinguishing between them, I must admit that I'm a sucker for models aiming their weapons and wanted that to be a theme with these guys so ensemble they look like they're clearing a street or alley or whatever. Think near the beginning of Resident Evil: Apocalypse when the merc guys are keeping the horde back.<br /><br />Regarding the kitchen knife, I can't take all the credit here as I saw it in a recent zombie film. I'll not say which one but on a totally unrelated subject, you should watch World War Z ;-P<br />hunterpesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909613437381488235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-42288928045124798432014-03-26T13:27:33.498+00:002014-03-26T13:27:33.498+00:00That's great to hear, Adam,,, on both points. ...That's great to hear, Adam,,, on both points.

He is not a full time sculptor. He just sculpts in his spare time. So given that fact, I think this is a very good start to his range. Don't worry, there are lots more figures on the way. I'd rather see him producing a few figures every month or so than waiting for a big amount of his figures that would take longer to produce. This makes his figures more affordable and to be honest, his figures are very cheap compared to many other companies. Plus, there is a 10% discount. But if you don't want them then that's your decision to make.
