Full Metal Miniatures Releases Civilians

Just saw this on Instagram

Nice! Simon just emailed me about these! Looking forward to their release.

Simon also informs me that there will also be a lady villagers pack which is good news. The West Wind Vietnam civilians pack was ALL MALE with the only variant being a kid. Which never made any sense to me.

Awesome!!!! D you know an ETA?

I linked Simon to this post. Maybe he'll have some info on that to share directly.

Those do look really nice.

Hi Chaps,

They should be available by the 2nd week in August. Hopefully two more sets will be following closely behind them as well. One set of female villagers and a set of more urban type civilians.

Oh that's great news indeed Simon!

Like I said in my email..... you're about to get alot of my money soon!!

Awesome Simon thank you! How about some:

1. Monks
2. CIA/Diplomat types in suits
3. Kids looking for handouts from GIs
4. Animals- water buffalo, pigs, chickens

Just some thoughts. Thank you!

He said there would be Air America/CIA types. Though my idea was guys wearing Hawaiian shirts, with moustaches and aviator shades. Maybe one holding a duffle bag.

I am hoping for a couple of civilians with water carrying poles. Like in the West Wind pack.

Yep, to all of the above!

There ya go Hayes! From the man himself. How exciting!

So cool!

Thanks Simon!

I believe the general attitude here can be described as 'yippee!'. My wife will be delighted - though she did demonstrate an impressive skill-level at swearing while she built the VC bike figures. We used to work for opera companies and Rock and Roll bands so for us cursing is a cross between punctuation and an art form.

I think I'd like Pat quite a bit!

Sounds like we'd have some delightful conversations!  

Colorful, anyway.

If you are familiar with the character Malcolm Tucker from 'The Thick Of It'.......

I actually was not, so had to Google it. I saw his top 10 best moments and man..... what a GREAT character! I'll have to find this show somewhere. Wasn't Peter Capaldi one of the Time Lords?

Just so.

An update from Simon on these.....

He's hoping to have them out by this week. So far, they're not on the site, but maybe by week's end.

On another front, I asked him if Robi was planning on doing Montangnards and he said "most definetely".

Firstly sorry for the delay! I have been waiting for the moulds to come back. They should be with me by Monday at the latest, hopefully sooner! Once I have them then the figures will go up on the website.Again sorry for the delay!

No worries Simon. Thanks for letting us know.

First set is now available on the website, second set out in the next couple of weeks includes a supervisor and two porters/warehouse workers and three people squatting down round a cooking pan eating noodles and smoking ciggies!    

Those look great! The supervisor can be used as a shifty local politician. The stovetop pot looks great too.
