Got to my parents' place for the holidays to find my Kickstarter order here! I got two bags of green and one of tan. Here's a little comparison of them with BMC's US Marines and an Airfix trooper: And here's the whole set:
I like how the set naturally breaks out into two, 12 women squads led by a sergeant each, plus an HQ squad with Lieutenant, radiowoman, and medical and other auxiliaries.

I'm glad you like them. Unfortunately I can't seeany images.
Not sure just what I'll do with them but it seemed a virtuous cause so I signed on for one pack early on. I got a tracking update that it crossed the border 11 days ago but for some reason its not linking so could be almost anywhere!

I got mine today. Really glad I backed this Kickstarter. It was really well run. I have more toy soldiers of this type, women and men, then I will ever need!

Well, don't need the pics now, the real item was in my mailbox. To be impartial and fair to both sides, I will split them between the government "Green helmets" and the rebel "Red caps" (might even convert a few hats or helmets to red berets. Hope I still have my old soldering iron, o/w it'll be a knife and putty affair. Might do a few samples and leave the rest till spring. Not sure about the single stretcher and canine. Possibly the stretcher may get painted as UN. gameofmonth.blogspot.com/2019/08/assault-on-hastee-house-crossroads.html

Both sides have a mix of helmets and berets so no need but if I want berers on some its easier to turn a helmet into a beret either with my low heat soldering iron or knife and putty. Probably a job for summer and then a game in the out doors. -Ross

Good idea but despite the nicknames, both sides have a mix of helmets and berets so no need but if I want berets on some its easier to turn a helmet into a beret either with my low heat soldering iron or knife and putty.
