Caesar Miniatures - you chaps may want to take a look...

[Mai Strac]

Could also probably work for Op Eagle Claw...

Anyways, like I said, it's interesting, there seems to be a mix & match of figures in this set, which is nice for a change. I'm excited about prieser's seated modern US in 1/72 though. With all of my current builds, that could really be useful.

Take care,
Austin

Ah preiser delight and pain of all of us!!!! I hope to see that set before became very old!

Yes I think it is more for my grandson in his old age. Probably be in time for the next Mayan prophecy.

Re zzed

Caesar is making theirs from own imagination

On Preiser's web site they make a big thing about using human models for their figures usually pretty women ( I wonder why ).The Caesar sf chap with a bow proves your point but I would add; a flawed imagination.

The guy with the bow is probably a hommage to the Rambo movies?

[Ben Bob]

Some special forces use crossbows, this is obviously not a crossbow though.
Anyway, a ton of elite guys all around the world use bows, like duh, here's the evidence people

Anybody have a pic of the spru of an assembly series set? I'd love to see it. Supposedly you can mix and match the figures, like with some of the Preiser sets.

I honestly did not attract much better if it was the Caesar produced the PMC

My point is about technique and realism not whether SF use them or not of course they do. All the books I have read and all the people who have taught me how to shoot a composite bow have been telling me wrong - Caesar must have got it right.

Whoever taught Sylvester Stallone ( the man not the character) to shoot a bow taught him very well. Left hander as well.


If Caesar had used Rambo as the inspiration they could have looked at some stills from the film.

Left master eye, not left handed. There is a big difference between that. I'm right handed, but my left eye is my master eye. So I shoot left.

[David O'Brien]

OK Peter it could be a left master eye but not my point at all.
The point being the pic is the correct way round and he is actually shooting left handed ie he is holding the bow in his left hand. So not wrong at all as he is shooting left handed. Why he is doing it that way take it up with Sly- I don't know. Could be a weak right eye, an injury, film character trait, congenital etc etc

Left handed bow held in the left hand by someone who is left handed.
As for bows being used by the special forces...laughable.

[steve_pickstock]

Interestingly Stallone shoots like me, I'm left eye strong (my right one doesn't work very well, and hasn't since I was a small child), I am right handed, but I shoot bows and long guns (except for blackpowder guns) left handed.

More importantly - and I still can't believe figure manufacturers are doing this - he has got the arrow on the right side of the bow, unlike the figure in the counter-terrorist set.

[Ben Bob]

I being sarcastic anyway.
My brother would have an interesting opinion on the technique etc, he has shot bows most of his life and made several: but I don't know very much.
I also want to make it clear that I wish Caesar hadn't put that dumb pose in the set. For me, he will end up in the same pile as all the Stinger launchers from the other set.

I'd like to second this request if anyone has picked up one of these sets - other than the official cover and sample figure pic from each set on hannants and mich toy there's not been any pics posted from any of the assembly series sets. PSR hasn't added these to pending review yet so I'm guessing it will be some time before we see any piccies there.

I have one of the sets on the way from Hannants as I write. I'll put up a picture as soon as I can - but I'm away this week end so it could be Sunday before it happens.

Unless someone does it sooner.

[MikeRC97]

Cheers Steve, looking forward to it.
