Figure / Diorama Information:
The diorama depicts three troops from 42 Cdo as they attempt to take cover from incoming fire while advancing up the hill, the gpmg gunner returning fire against the Argentine positions. As they progressed up the hill towards Mount Harriet, the troops came under very intense fire from Argentine positions. During this time troops headed for whatever cover they could find – often remote rocky outcrops that offered a small amount of protection from the Argentine guns. (It is suggested to compliment the groundwork / terrain with additional grass products as the terrain was a mix of both grass and rocky outcrops).
The vast majority of Mne’s discarded their poor fighting helmets and donned berets, therefore all three figures are depicted wearing berets and fighting order equipment.
Please note that 58 pattern webbing will now be produced pre-attached to the figure. Although some people prefer separate webbing pouches, the majority of people seem to prefer the initially used method of pre attached pouches saving time and hassle on ensuring accurate fit of parts.
The first orders will begin shipping just before Easter and will resume again after Easter Monday – please allow 7 – 10 working days for UK orders and approx 15 – 18 for Europe. (Up to date timescales are normally updated on the home page of the website).

What is a limited edition item?
With figure piracy on the increase, producing units in a limited edition means both the producer and collector are aware exactly how many units are in existence and in which scales. A numbered certificate will be included with the figures detailing the number of the edition in the relevant scale. A limited means the item will only be produced in a maximum number of the edition size stated. Once this number has been reached no further figures will be produced.
