Can they be civilian, or is it strictly militairy?

[MABO]

Hello Marvin,

good to read your post! I have hoped to see you on the list.

[MABO]

And Mickey: Yes civil figures are ok as well.

I'm pretty sure I've got a box of these RedBox guys somewhere waiting to be opened.

So - I think I'll paint them as my own local regiment from Leicestershire, the 17th Foot.

[MABO]

Fantastic. Another set I have never seen painted yet. And there are so much marching figures in it!!!

i have always been fascinated by this kind of a figure diorama/vignette; here are my contributions:



Caesar Miniatures German troops on parade- i intend to cast some more and pain them accordingly- didn't include the figures in a marching stance..you can see a Preiser 1/72 German figure lying flat which i intend to mix with these Caesar miniature figures...



Preiser 1/87 Bundeswehr Band figures and East German Honor Guard, modified accordingly...

[dykio]

I'm in. This really looks like it's going to a big parade! With a smal contribution from my side....



Laterrr

[MABO]

As I already mentioned in the WIP topic, I am really happy to do the parade with you.

[Susofrick]

I am a little curious, I do think it is fun to send figures to Jan, but what happen to them after FIGZ? Is there life after FIGZ?

[MABO]

Yes, of course! "Waterloo 2015" and the "Road to Arnhem 2016" are stored here in the basement. Waterloo was presented once more at the Euromodelexpo in Heiden. And I am thinking about another presentation at this years FIGZ if Remco agrees. The "Road to Arnhem" is stored in a special big box I have bought for it. And maybe I can bring it with me as well. So what do you think? I will not throw your work away.

[Susofrick]

I think you can use mine however you want to, I was just curious. But your answer sounds nice to me. Have at least undusted mine now!

[Mai Strac]

Why only alpini? I want implementing the Italian presence. So why not even some bersaglieri?







I still choose to use the headgear, but I've already started working on figurines.

I'll contribute with Bersaglieri from the Italian War of Independence (the Waterloo 1815 set). It would be nice to see bersaglieri from two different period!

Hello Friends!

Today I would like to give you the bulletin for the Group Build 2017

Actual we are 17 Members working on the Great Parade:

So for the beginning of February this is a long list of participants. But not long enough I think.

Where are the guys from USA, Kurt or Rich, who made great entries for the last GBs. And I am also waiting for somebody from Russia. Eugenij has some figures that could fit to this GB as well. Arek from Poland: You created the great hunting scene last year. Also Greece is not yet in the column. Come on guys! And where is Southamerica? We have also members from that part of the world.

When building the Waterloo GB we have been 24 persons. This year I would like to have 25!!
I keep you updated and when everybody has made a decision about his theme, I will post another list.
