They're quite petite, so match well with the Airfix Arabs.<br /><br />I find HaT figures are generally good quality sculpts, with good poses; but their versions of "1/72" can be all over the place... Their WW1 Turkish heavy weapons guys are big and chunky, as are their WW1 "tropical" British. But their WW1 Indian troops are wee.... Really odd... Their worst, in this regard, was their "Roman Catapults". Lovely sculpts, and the catapults were great, but the crews were tiny and the accompanying infantry huge. Really odd<br /><br />One more 1/72 exercise to write up, then a 6mm jaunt...

Wondered what bods you've used here for the Turks? An actual Turkish set or stand ins from central casting? In any event a fun, fast action game! Thank you!Steven E.

Shame only one standing guy pose, but they mix with other sets well enough. <br /><br />Some of the guys on the table will be some of my 1960s lads. Still going strong...Ian Denyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125926108621282248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240037031475318548.post-89202397415986534782021-04-07T08:03:30.338+01:002021-04-07T08:03:30.338+01:00Yet another wonderful account.nice balance between...Yet another wonderful account.nice balance between mechanisms and action.
