Hi, I have a photograph of myself taken in the Falkland Islands, on the high ground overlooking Port San Carlos, could this be turned into some sort of a small diorama? and how much it would cost to do so, as I am not a modeller but have always had a keen interest, but not the talent. In the...

3 Para didn't land with, or carry Bergen's, bar our sigs and medics, the two photos shown are of 2 Para, the colour photo is 2 Para 'medics' at Goose Green, the B/W one is 2 Para after Goose Green waiting for a helicopter lift to Fitzroy, plus regarding Moz's figure, when standing with a bergen...

Absolutely stunning, but I think a helmet would have been more fitting for the battle and maybe the clothing and webbing looking a bit weather worn, but still a very dramatic figure.

Fantastic figure and paint, looks like one of my old muckers,

Hi Henk, I am truly envious of you and the your fellow model makers skills, this is why I look enviously at this site, carry on the good work. Bye for now Jimmy

Hi Henk, great figure, love the camo, but there is common thinking that we carried Bergen's, in fact, very few did, signalers and medics, we carried fighting order only ammo and food, there was no point in carrying them, they would only slow us down, from San Carlos we advanced to Teal Inlet...

Hi John, regarding 3 Para, we fixed bayonets at the start line, I don’t know where you heard that we got stuck in a minefield, this is totally incorrect, we took one casualty to a mine strike, this initiated the battle, we immediately began to assault the mountain, bayonets were used liberally...

Hi, sorry for the very late reply awol due to medical reasons, yes here is the same bloke 0n the right leaving Mount Longdon 14th June, the butt, and stock were wrapped in camouflaged material,

Hi, absolutely fantastic paint work, the photos would be much improved if they were upright, great figure.

Hi Gordon, great stuff, the only tiny, thing I could think of was the netting on the helmets was dark green, but still fantastic paint job (y)

Hi, I am not a figure painter, I have tried several times and I just cant do it, I would like a figure painting, it is a boots and helmet figure, similar to the one in the photo attached of Mount Longdon, the boots would be worn and dirty, I would appreciate a price from someone in the UK...

Great subject, soldiers from any era will relate to this,

Yet another masterpiece on this forum, (y) fantastic paint.
