Men In Boxes

Preparing some 1:72 figures for a trial run of Osprey Publishing's Force on Force miniature wargaming rules for modern skirmishes. posted from Bloggeroid

I chanced upon these at my local market. I think they're Chinese made models based on a better known brand's scale model but i'm not familiar with aircraft models. Each is around a dollar. The box says its 1:115 scale which I feel is wrong. More likely it is 1:144. Any one tried these? How do they build up? I think I saw 3 different helis as well as an assortment of fighters.

Here are a few artillery pieces in HO with some figures. The guns are pretty rudimentary and are crew by a single gunner. These came with some china-made AFVs. The standing soldier came from a micro machines set. posted from Bloggeroid

I got lucky and got a few packs of these dollar store figures for around P50 each, which is pretty close to a US dollar. The figures are cast in a tan, hard plastic much like Tamiya 1:35 model kits, have a black wash and come with separate stands. These are the poses I've come across so far. The figures come in desert kit but nary a kneepad in sight. I can't identify the chest rigs but these could be from the First Gulf War. Anyway, they're the foundation for some 1:32 modern skirmish gaming.
