A few months ago, I and a couple of others commissioned Steve Barber to make a handful of early WWII Americans in 28mm for the Philippines, Wake Island, etc. \u00a0These need the WWI helmets but early WWII kit. \u00a0Three or four figures have been commissioned, but we need one or two more people to commission a figure in order to complete a squad. \u00a0If you are interested, please contact\u00a0enquiries@stevebarbermodels.com.<\/p>\n

I just sponsored a second figure, the BAR gunner. \u00a0This will be figure 4.<\/p>\n

Before we started this project, the only suitable figures were from Pulp Figures. \u00a0The Pulp Figures are excellent, but there are only two five-figure packs with tin hats in their inter-war line. \u00a0This doesn’t give enough variety for skirmish games. \u00a0I am hoping with these additional figures, that I can field a platoon that doesn’t look too cookie cutter.<\/p>\n

All figures come with separate heads for further customization.<\/p>\n

Please contact Steve Barber to commission a figure, which costs about $250 dollars US. \u00a0It would be great to have 10 poses, to make a reasonably full squad.<\/p>\n
