My old chum Spanky (aka Desert Dave) is currently doing a tour of duty in the Middle East, and whilst on leave in Cairo reports; "Also went to the Egyptian national Army museum, that was really a dissapointlment as you saw heaps of busts of Generals etc, but no information in the imperial grunts that did the killing and dying work. I also enclose a picture of the diorama showing the storming of the Suez in 1973. They are not big on detail or realism at the Army Museum I am assuming. (Fozie, you can put that on your website if you want) I also expected to see models for sale at the museum, but guess what, there were pucking none but heaps more plastic pyramids!"
Well put Dave, I would have expected a little more effort on figure selection and even a splash of paint. I myself would hope you all donate some help and indeed correct period figures to this establishment, please for the kids sakes!

ReplyDeleteOoops, I thought he was in Africa, hence my tips for dealing with the postal service. Are those figures Germans?
ReplyDeleteHi Paul, no I am not on ATF but Dave is hence he probably put these on there. Hassle free about the linking, well worth it.
