Subject: ESU Heavy Inf
Eli, I have a passle of ESU Hvy Inf (most of them). So far only 4 or 5 have been black washed and digitally photo'd to my satisfaction, but they ought to give you a good idea - I like them MUCH better than the (pardon me for saying it) "lame-O" naval infantry (OTOH, naval infantry probably should be a bit lame.... *wink*). http://fox.nstn.ca/~kaladorn/Gaming/GZG/ESUHeavyInf/ This is the root dir. Here are some figs... the order codes are from Nic's Eureka coding. Don't know how they map to blisters sold by KR. http://fox.nstn.ca/~kaladorn/Gaming/GZG/ESUHeavyInf/SGE-59_GreyScale.jpg http://fox.nstn.ca/~kaladorn/Gaming/GZG/ESUHeavyInf/SGE-62_GreyScale.jpg http://fox.nstn.ca/~kaladorn/Gaming/GZG/ESUHeavyInf/SGE-65_GreyScale.jpg http://fox.nstn.ca/~kaladorn/Gaming/GZG/ESUHeavyInf/SGE-67_GreyScale.jpg They have a good rifle (KI-72 I believe), and I really like the SAW. They have quilted jackets and a pretty good looking helmet. Most come fitted with a backpack. And they have a good variety of poses... and figures like the commisars and the dogs. All together, a good line. Now all I need to do is convince Nic to make Hvy Inf crew figs for the autocannon on the tripod, the grenade on the tripod, and the NAC ram mortar (so it will be an ESU Hvy Inf Ram Mortar). Then I'll be able to "support" these figs better. I got about 60 of these (gonna order about another 30) plus I've ordered about 16 ESU PA as "stiffener". Nic also has a BMP-60 tracklayer APC. If I can convince Robert D. to produce some more of his turrets, there is a turret that can be refit to it to turn the APC into an AIFV. With these, you have a very distinctive ESU force.
