NEW Urban Meltdown British with SLRs from RH MODELS

  
I'm pleased to say that it's not all been quiet on the Preston front. A little nudging from yours truly and Rolf at Liberation Miniatures (RH Models) will be following up his recently released Urban Meltdown British Support Weapons with several more packs of Urban Meltdown British that will be suitable for Winter of 79.

First off the blocks will be the bareheaded Urban Meltdown British with SLRs, pictured above. These will be supplemented with a pack of mixed civilian headdress and then with another with military head gear. Cracking stuff, Rolf.

Mixthese with Rolf's Australian Vietnam era SAS, Falklands SAS and sundry 80's British Army (helmets/berets etc) and you have a really good anti-government force.
        
The figures above are not at the casters yet as Rolf wants some feedback from you guys in order to incorporate your ideas where possible. So feel free to unleash your imagination and leave your ideas in the comments section below.

Cheers
Mark

  1. These look good, I've had an idea for an 'Invasion!' skirmish game, based on the old 2000AD comic story and these would be excellent resistance fighters...

    Although an anorak might be more appropriate garb for the Winter of '79

  4. Nice one Chris! Survivors was one of my favourite TV shows in the 70's.

    Greg does have a resemblance to Bill Savage from 200AD:

  5. With regards to the new Urban Meltdown with SLRs - I'd like to see guys in Donkey Jackets - or at least something that can be painted as a Donkey Jacket. Parkas and Duffle coats - both hanging open and closed, with fur lined hoods (parka) and collars (duffle).

    Some of the upright figures need shorter zipper jackets that can be painted as denim, leather or corduroy.

    Not keen on more than one figure in wellington boots.

    Cheers
