Description
As I was working on this piece, I thought about all the many hours I spent as a kid, making 1/32 millitary models. Many wonderful hours building, painting, covering things in mud!
Then I got an IM from Forevernyt...in which he requested a plastic "Army men" version. Brilliant! Hadn't even occured to me!
So this one is for you big guy! For your inner kid.
Hope everyone has a long relaxing Sunday!

its a fascinating atrtwork,Eric.i remember this kind of military figures too ! #:O) ^^^^^^^^
Excellent revision. Brings back memories.
"Spread out! One grenade will get you all!". Sarge's last words! They heard him yell. :( Frankly, my dog got more of my men than any grenade! At least that's what I told the Shrink; Actually I had a taste for plastic! ;)
That's great. It even feels scale. I love it. (one minor minor thing because I tend to nitpick images I like... there appears to be a bush growing out of the right most green army man's base) REally REALLY like this one.
I thought of that aspect too...and wow. here's the treatment!!! It is great looking set--I might even prefer it to the original..great stuff !!
Very cool!
so where's the MUD ? hehehe just kidding, interesting variation Eric and two bag's of soldiers please ! cheers
Neato!
Classic! Excellent job on the quite convincing plastic mats.
ROTFLMBFAO!!!!!!!! Oh boy do I remember my brothers playing with their army men...right before melting them on their model ships...arghhhhhhh!! Lol ;) Sometimes they'd line up their Stratego pieces and mow them down with marbles or these green plastic army men. It is amazing that they turned out normal...at least I think the are :D
All my hopes have been fulfilled! You've done one helluva transformation from reality to plastic fantasy. I've been flipping back and forth, going from the plasic reality, then to the original and thinking this is what the kids playing actually see. I'm glad that you got so many postive reponses about this. Of course it's going right into my favs. You even got the bases on, so cool!
Sigh...memories. I had those, and a ton of the tinier ones for civil war reenactment. I think I bought them off the back of Boys Life magazine.
yeah!! i love it
OMG! That's fabulous! I can just see them walking around like in Toy Story with the plastic bases attached to their feet. heeheehee! C'mon men! This way!
Great stuff. Plastic mats look cool!!!!
A very cool image. I spent as many hours making paper dolls. :o) CC
Goss, I remember these!! you have them down to a tee:) excellent:)!
This is great! :)
Some of us prefer 1/72 scale, but I will admit, the 1/35 scale soldiers were more dramatic where firecrackers were concerned...
