Unfortunately I don't, AIP stopped making Zulu figures from what I can tell, might have lost the mold or something when they moved production to the US. The only affordable 1/32 Zulus I've been able to find are MPC reproductions sold by Hobby Bunker and MicShauns Closet. Pic related is what 15 bucks will get you.

Yeah, there were a number of vintage army men like that, pretty uncommon nowadays though. I have some secondhand medieval ones with swappable weapons, don't know anything about them really other than they're mostly turkic or middle eastern in appearance.

Makes me miss Thor's website all the more, he had several of those old army men sets and for some reason it was excluded from the Wayback Machine so it died with him... I also have these Crusaders and Saracens, some of which have removable weapons.

Doing some more greyscale pics of my WWII army men. Many of the figure sets I've collected are molded in different colors (green, brown), so doing them like this helps reinforce their uniformity. Thanks to the anons who complimented my picture in the last thread! Apologies for not responding sooner!

>>10658628
That's neat! I seem to remember Legos being my primary method of artificial terrain for my soldiers. I also used a dollhouse as the headquarters for my Tan soldiers because I was obsessed with the 3DO Army Men games.

Thanks, anon! It was a really fun day for toy pics. Finding the right moment to capture the shot was a bit of a hassle (the water kept knocking over my troops as it rose), but I'm happy with the results all around.

Thinking about getting 4 or 5 of a couple of factions and maybe a squad of 5 of the Guard and doing skirmish stuff with a friend.
Some of the money he needed (after scholarships) to pay for school was provided by his Armies. He and his wife have somewhat filled that vacancy in his life with a LOT of Reaper minis.
But I think a small group of these might scratch an itch.

Sharpie do a set of metallics, which go on amazingly, then I'll add details in black and other colours if they work.
It's hardly a 40k 'eavy metal paintjob but as far as adding a little detail to cheap toys I love the effect. Still very charming and toylike.

Very obscure kino. Yeah I'm glad I picked up a set of each when they were still available, did have to leave them out for a while cuz when they arrived they had a strong odor of something, either the plastic or the paints used or maybe both, did eventually away. Some of their weapons needed the hot water treatment to straighten out but they responded well. The guy with crucifix remains my favorite.

Obscure indeed, but well-done figures all the same. The warriors I plan on getting are the various tribal factions united under Muhammad Ahmed, the crazed Wahabist who declared himself the Islamic messiah. This was the war that General Charles Gordon and Colonel Hicks were killed while trying to counteract a planned invasion of Ottoman-ruled Egypt (the Mahdi thought that the Turks were not real Muslims).
