About product

An Argentine soldier of 1982 in 1:35

A single figure representing the Argentine side of the conflict in the South Atlantic. For a modeler it is practically a rarity: for this subject it is above all British figures that are generally available, and the other side stays unrepresented. Without it, though, a scene loses its narrative dimension and remains a plain display of equipment.

The setting the figure belongs to

For most of the operations Argentine units held defensive positions around the capital and on the surrounding heights, shallow trenches hacked out of stony soil, the lee of stone walls, makeshift shelters against the rain. It is this static posture that offers a more interesting composition than a figure in motion: a base with a scooped-out hollow, soil and stones scattered around, and perhaps a suggested tarpaulin.

Recommendation on surface and shades

After a few weeks in the field the uniforms of the South Atlantic campaign were soaked with damp and ingrained peaty dust, so a high-contrast clean coat would look untrue. Keep a muted palette and build the differences on texture rather than on color: the smooth surface of a coat against coarser fabric, matte textile against slightly satin metal. Lead the muddy deposit from the bottom upward and let it fade.

Who the figure is useful for

  • builders of two-sided scenes where the scene should have a story
  • anyone interested in less usual subjects of ground figure work
  • modelers collecting figures for hardware in 1:35
  • those who want to complete a line of British figures with the other side

FAQ

A scene with only one side remains a static display. Once both sides meet in a scene, a situation arises that the viewer reads as a story.

Yes, it is the same scale and the same period, so they go together both in size and in subject.

A shallow position hacked out of stony soil with scattered earth. The stony terrain of the South Atlantic did not allow deep trenches.
