Why dont you paint some camo on your soldiers?

>>6272029
A few reasons really. I don't have the patience for it, I'm not especially good at painting and I have thousands of soldiers. I painted crude camo on some of my tanks and trucks as a kid but that fell by the wayside as my armies grew.

No worries, looks to be about 1/72, the average scale for smaller army men. Normal army men are usually between 1/32 and 1/35, their vehicles can range from the same to 1/48 but often 1/72 as well.

>>6272176
Here are my other Sherman tanks and another tank for you to copare scales

Hmm my mistake, they look to be larger than 1/72, somewhere between it and the 1/48 M48 Patton on the left. Very nice little armored unit you got.

Dunno about those tanks specifically, been getting them from a dollar/party store over by the mall and they're $2.50 Cdn each.

Thank you,I really like your soldiers. They are not cheap ones as mine
Also my second biggest tank. The M1 Abrams

Pretty sweet Abrams. Other than the oversized Bradleys my largest tank is this T-55 (or T-62, not sure), can't remember anymore where I got it from.

There was a dollar store across town that used to have those trucks, they came bagged with a few soldiers. Sadly the place went out of business years ago, there was a website where I found them but they've also since shut down.

It was originally a Micro Machines set, I had one as a kid but sadly it got broken and discarded a long time ago. The imitations I have now, three were found at the same dollar store those large trucks came from (>>6272270), the other two from the same website, seems the same company made both.

Had a quick look around Amazon and found this, looks like a reissue by another company as the packaging is different and the soldiers are a different color than I remember.

https://www.amazon.com/Playset-Command-Carrier-Infantry-Plastic/dp/B01D22KJIU/

Anyone know any online stores to get some tanks?

I had some paper buildings I obtained through Combat Storm, they got wrecked some time ago but I can always print and assemble new ones, been meaning to.

Where can I get myself a good array of soldiers, ideally with tanks and artillery and the like?

>>6275141
Your best bet is to browse amazon or aliexpress for army men listings, like this one:

When I first got them they had a fairly strong smell to them, either the plastic or paint or both, over time it's faded but still there a bit. A lot of the weapons were bent out of shape too but the hot water trick corrected them just fine.

Not sure about ancient Far East soldiers, mostly I see Romans, Greeks, Persians etc. but there's bound to be those as well.

This guy is the main reason I bought them.

>>6271918
why is that one guy holding a gun upside down?

>>6278137
I never figured out whether that pose is for charging with a bayonet or holding a gun over water. Probably for holding his gun over water

The original pose has a bayonet fixed and the soldier's expression indicates he's about to stab someone in the face.

Do how are the Timmee army guys? I know they're a little pricey but I really want a complete set of matching factions and they seem like the best looking/most colors. Really want me some pink soldiers.

Timmee soldiers are one of the pillars of army men, their classic Vietnam War poses have been copied, cloned and modified countless times and will continue to fight little plastic wars for centuries to come.

>>6286021
So they're one of the best then in terms of plastic quality, eh? I just want some sturdy bastards, ya know.

Tbh I just really want some blue soldiers that actually match my green and tan. I grew up with the 3DO Army Men games and the blues were always my favorite. And again, the pink ones look absurd and now I'm wanting them too.

So I just ordered myself the standard green+tan, blue+black, and the pink. I didn't even realize until yesterday that there was a cyan+brown set, so I'm holding off to get that with the red+gray. I'm excited to have a rainbow of soldiers swarming my desk now.
