Another vote for the anti-marching lobby too, although the odd prone figure I can cope with i.e. snipers! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I used to have a small 20mm WWII collection, and I really am quite fond of the scale still.<br /><br />And sign me up as another "anti-prone" advocate--and "anti-marching" too! If I had my way, every WWII figure would be in a dashing or standing-firing pose--<a href="http://www.7thfighter.com/album/var/albums/Iwo-Jima-Invasion/B-127-unk.jpg?m=1389673029" rel="nofollow">this photo</a> should be every sculptor's guide, IMO. The worst--the WORST--is when there's only a choice between a marching pose and a prone pose for a particular figure (usually LMGs, sadly).David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-613165559922745162014-12-11T11:10:45.629-06:002014-12-11T11:10:45.629-06:00Fabulous!

Stick to your guns and don't let Curt (or any others ) wind you up on the subject, because you are right and the truth will never change!<br /><br />May I suggest a poll on who likes prone waste of time figures? (hee hee , Snigger)<br /><br />I really do like these I have been toying with getting some 15mm PSC Russians. You are edging me closer. Not quite there yet so perhaps you should show some more.
