A word about the figures.
The figures I have used here are from two sets by Russian manufacturer, Soga Miniatures; sets 3567 & 3569. I have swapped the heads around and replaced a couple of them with heads from Hornet and Mantis just to mix things up a little. Images from their boxart below:
I found this really useful image on the internet of an SAS officer and this was the template for the paint scheme on the figures. I guess only the SAS can rock the socks and sandals look.
